A number of allyl aryl propargyl amines 3a-3f were synthesized in 68-82% yield. These tertiary amines were then treated with one equivalent of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) to give products 5a-5f in 79-90% yields arising out of the Meisenheimer rearrangement of the allyl aryl amine moiety accompanying the amine oxide rearrangement of the aryl propargyl amine moiety.Key words: Meisenheimer rearrangement, [2,3] sigmatropic shift, amine oxide, propargyl amine, allyl amine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
