A Facile Method for Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution of Cyclic Amine

Abstract

Abstract The expeditious solventless nucleophilic aromatic substitution using microwaves is described. A non-conventional synthetic procedure has been developed where basic alumina has been used as energy transfer medium under Microwave Irradiation (MW1). The results were compared with those obtained by the classical method. This rapid and environmentally benign method avoids the use of excess solvents and toxic bases usually employed in the process make this procedure very attractive for synthesis.
