Abstract

A facile method for the synthesis of N-aryl-substituted azacycles from arylamines and cyclic ethers has been developed. In this study, arylamines were treated with cyclic ethers in the presence of POCl3 and DBU to provide five- A nd six-membered azacycles. Using this method, various azacycloalkanes, isoindolines, and tetrahydroisoquinolines were prepared in high yields. This synthetic method offers an efficient approach to the production of azacycles from cyclic ethers.
