Secondary Amines from Alkylhalides via N-Alkyl-sulfonamides?


this looks promising:
reacting a secondary alkylhalide with a n-alkyl-sulfonamide and final cleavage with HBr/Phenol should lead to the secondary amine. what i have found so far is:

these are not free, but maybe someone can "look them up" :)

any ideas on the cleavage of the sulfonamide? it seems that this can only be effected under harsh conditions.

How about the Raney Ni/H2 for the catalytic cleavage of the sulphonamide

alternative method maybe?


How about oxidizing the secondary halide to the ketone via V2O5/H2O2. Reaction of the ketone with hydroxylamine to make the oxime and the reduction of the oxime with activated zinc and ammonium formate/chloride.

enima, do you have details on that oxidation?
i also have methylamine (instead of hydroxylamine because i want the n-methylated amine), but i wonder what is the best method to reduce the imine formed by reductive amination. i'm not very comfortable with Hg salts.

Oxidation method


NaBH4 works really well at reducing the imine to the amine, I can post the proceedure for that as well if you want.

Below I attached the oxidation method. (PDF form)

yes, please post the procedure. i'm especially interested in processes that don't require the absence of aqueous solutions (eg. menh2 40% aq.)
