Epoxide opening with dimethylamine
« on: January 10, 2018, 09:45:14 AM »
Tried to open cyclohexene oxide with dimethylamine (2M i THF) but no conversion after 24 at 60 C.
Any suggestions ? Lewis acids ?

Hmm that is a bit odd. This paper on using Lewis acid catalysts to ring open epoxides with alkyl amines might be useful
