Amination of chloro-substituted heteroarenes with adamantane-containing amines

Abstract

Amination of 3,6-dichloropyridazine, chloropyrazine, 2,3and 2,6-dichloropyrazines, 2-chloroquinoxaline, 1-chloroand 1,3-dichloroisoquinolines with various adamantane-containing amines characterized by different steric hindrances at the amino group was studied. The yields of the amination products depended on the structure of starting compounds. In the reactions of all the dichloroheteroarenes, selective substitution of only one chlorine atom took place, with the best yields being observed for 2,6-dichloropyrazine. In the reaction of 1,3-dichloroisoquinoline, the chlorine atom at position 1 was selectively substituted in up to 90% yield.
