Application

N,N-Dimethylmethyleneiminium chloride (Böhme′s salt) is a dimethylaminomethylating agent that can be used as one of the key reagents in the following applications:
  • Electrophilic aminomethylation of aldehydes and ketones to synthesize corresponding Mannich products, also known as Mannich reaction.
  • Preparation of dihydronaphthyridinones as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.
  • Preparation of cyanotetrahydrooxo-β-carbolines via cyclocondensation of cyanomethyl indole-2-carboxylate with ammonia.
  • Asymmetric synthesis of phalarine via stereospecific Pictet-Spengler cyclocondensation and traceless chirality transfer from L-tryptophan.
  • Synthesis of functionalized diarylpyrrolizines as inhibitors of microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX).
  • Synthesis of (±)-phalarine with the rearrangement of an azaspiroindolenine and Gassman oxindole preparation as key steps.

Reacant for:
Preparation of dihydronaphthyridinones as HIV-1 integrase inhibitors

Other Notes

"Mannich-reagent" for direct use; higher yields of purer products were achieved in shorter times compared with the classical "Mannich reaction"; in-situ preparation of the reactive triflate with TMS-triflate
