Abstract

N-{2-[(1-R-Cyclopropyl)methyl]prop-2-enyl}-N,N-dimethylamines were prepared in 80-90% yields by the reaction (5 h, 23-25 C) of propargylamines R-C=C-CH2NMe2 (where R = alkyl, Ph) with a system of reactants CH2I2-Et3Al taken in the molar ratio [propargylamine]: [Et3Al]: [CH2I2] = 1: 6: 6. In the case of phenyl-substituted propargyl- amine, N-({1-[(1-phenylcyclopropyl)methyl]cyclopropyl}methyl)-N,N-dimethylamine is selectively formed in 76% yield upon the elongation of the reaction time to 4 days.
