The synthesis of ortho-substituted (S)-1-phenethylamines via ortho-lithiation of its N,N-dimethyl derivative followed by reactions with different reagents is described. Circular dichroism spectra of synthesized compounds were measured. It is shown that the observed short-wave Cotton effects greatly depend on the existence of cyclic structure due to possible interactions such as hydrogen bond or electrostatic interaction.
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.
