Abstract

We report a stepwise preparation of triple alkylated or arylated tertiary amines, starting from commercially available tris(2-cyanoethyl)amine using three successive reaction sequences involving a selective oxidation (formation of an N-oxide followed by a Cope elimination) leading to an intermediate hydroxylamine, a benzoylation, and a cobalt-catalyzed electrophilic amination with organozinc halides.
