β¦ Synopsis
A novel formaldehyde-mediated condensation reaction of N,N-dialkyl aromatic amines and resonance-stabilized carbon nucleophiles is described. A condensation reaction between N,N-dimethylaniline (4) and ethyl acetoacetate (8) in the presence of formaldehyde in acetic acid took place to give 2-(4-dimethylaminobenzyl)-3-oxo butyric acid ethyl ester (9) together with the dimerization product 7 in 73 and 21% yields, respectively. This condensation reaction was further applied to the synthesis of 4-substituted dialkylaniline derivatives.

Tertiary aromatic amines can serve as amine substrates for the Petasis boronic acid-Mannich reaction, providing a practical synthetic route for the C C bond formation of a-(4-N,N-dialkylamino-2-alkyloxyphenyl)carboxylic acids. The scope and limitations of this method have been examined.
