Abstract:

A new synthetic method of reductive methylation promoted by electrolysis in aqueous medium was studied in this work. The method is based on the reduction of iminium ions generated in situ from the condensation of amines with formaldehyde. Besides the classical Leuckart-Wallach or Eschweiler-Clarke procedures, this reaction is normally performed in organic solvents using several borohydride reagents or catalytic hydrogenation. We decided to study the electrorreductive methylation reaction, by means of aqueous formaldehyde motivated by the good results of our reaction promoted by zinc and due to the scarce reports on the electrochemical strategy in the literature.
