The Chemistry of Alkylstrontium Halide Analogues: Barbier-type Alkylation of Imines with Alkyl Halides

Abstract

Abstract The chemistry of alkylstrontium halide analogues was examined. In the presence of metallic strontium, the Barbier-type alkylation of imines with alkyl iodides proceeded smoothly at room temperature under an argon atmosphere to afford the corresponding alkylated amines in good yields.
