摘要：

A new and practical alpha-monomethylation strategy using an amine-borane/N,N-dimethylformamide (R3N-BH3/DMF) system as the methyl source was developed. This protocol has been found to be effective in the alpha-monomethylation of arylacetonitriles and arylacetamides. Mechanistic studies revealed that the formyl group of DMF delivered the carbon and one hydrogen atoms of the methyl group, and R3N-BH3 donated the remaining two hydrogen atoms. Such a unique reaction pathway enabled controllable assemblies of CDH2-, CD2H-, and CD3- units using Me2NH-BH3/d(7)-DMF, Me3N-BD3/DMF and Me3N-BD3/d(7)-DMF systems, respectively. Further application of this method to the facile synthesis of anti-inflammatory flurbiprofen and its varied deuterium-labeled derivatives was demonstrated.
