Abstract
Reaction of primary aromatic amines with peroxidic tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the presence of hydrogen and 10% palladium on carbon catalyst results in THF ring opening to give 4-N-arylamino-1-butanols in good yield. The reaction mechanism is believed to involve a free-radical sequence resulting in an imino alcohol subsequently reduced to product.Entities:
