Abstract
A new one-pot method has been introduced in this work for the synthesis of symmetrical primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl amines from alkyl halides and 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-amine as a nitrogen-transfer reagent. In this method, all three types of amines have been successfully prepared after changing the ratio of substrates and base control. In addition to the introduction of a new nitrogen-transfer reagent, other important features of this work include normal atmospheric conditions and excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.
