摘要
Using mesitylene and o-xylene as examples, it was shown that the solvent nature strongly affects the conversion of methylbenzenes in electrophilic amination with the system NaN3-AlCl3-HCl. Two-parameter correlations were found between the substrate conversion, on the one hand, and dielectric constant and number of heavy atoms in the solvent, on the other. A considerable solvent effect on the regioselectivity of amination of o-xylene was observed. The presence of 18-crown-6 weakly affects the ratio of isomeric amines, but the conversion of o-xylene sharply decreases. Solid aromatic substrates, such as durene and pentamethylbenzene can also be involved in electrophilic amination with the system NaN3-AlCl3-HCl. On the basis of the experimental data and the results of quantum-chemical calculations, participation of a nitrenium intermediate in this reaction was postulated.
