Base-induced dehydrogenative and dearomative transformation of 1-naphthylmethylamines to 1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1-carbonitriles
Solvothermal treatment of 1-naphthylmethylamine with potassium hydride (KH) or n-butyllithium (n-BuLi)-potassium t-butoxide (t-BuOK) in THF induces unusual two consecutive β-hydride eliminations to form 1-naphthonitrile and KH. The freshly generated KH is hydridic enough to undergo dearomative hydri...
