Lithium N-Lithiomethyldithiocarbamates: New N-Alkylaminomethyl Anion Equivalents II1 Investigations on the Scope of the Method: Sterically Hindered and Aromatic N-Methylamines The scope of the methyl deprotonation of secondary methylamines protected as lithiodithiocarbamates has been investigated. Deprotonation is possible with branched N-alkylmethylamines such as the cyclohexyl derivative but failed in the case of N-tert-butylmethylamine. With aromatic methylamines such as N-methylaniline regioselective methyl- as well as ortho-deprotonation is possible depending on the base used.
