Abstract
N-Chloromethyldibenzylamine hydrochloride (2a), which is a precursor to N,N-dibenzylimminium salt (3), was obtained from N,N-dibenzylglycine hydrochloride (1a) in the presence of PCl5 or (COCl)2 in good yields. The reaction mechanism is discussed. 2a was isolated and reacted with dibenzylamine (6a), thiophene, n-buthyllithium and 1-naphthol to give an excellent yield of bis(N,N-dibenzylamino)methane (5a), 2-(N,N-dibenzylaminomethyl)thiophene (7), N-penthyldibenzylamine (8), and 2-dibenzylaminomethyl-1-naphthol (9), respectively.
