Electrochemical Dehydrogenative Imidation of N-Methyl-Substituted Benzylamines with Phthalimides for the Direct Synthesis of Phthalimide-Protected gem-Diamines

Fei Lian, Caocao Sun, Kun Xu, Cheng‐Chu Zeng

Abstract

A general and green electrochemical dehydrogenative method for the imidation of N-methyl benzylamines with phthalimides with excellent regioselectivities is reported for the first time. This operationally simple method offers a valuable tool to obtain structurally diverse phthalimide-protected gem-diamines.
