Benzophenone imine is an organic compound with the formula of (C₆H₅)₂C=NH. Benzophenone imine is widely used as a reagent for the protection of primary amines, and the starting materials to synthesize aniline.[1]

Synthesis

Benzophenone imine is available via the addition of MeOH to the complex of a nitrile and a Grignard reagent or the reaction between benzophenone and ammonia.

Synthesis by Grignard-nitrile complexes

Synthesis of benzophenone imine assisted by grignard reagent[2]

The first report about the preparation of ketimines involved Grignard-nitrile complexes followed by careful hydrolysis, which is known as Moureu-Mignonac ketimine synthesis.[3] Then Pickard and Tolbert improved the preparation by using methanol in the addition of Grignard-nitrile complexes.[2]

Synthesis by benzophenone and ammonia

In 1988, A. G. Guimanini discovered a new route to synthesize benzophenone imine by a reaction using benzophenone and ammonia. A chemical pure-grade ammonia gas is added to a benzophenone solution, forming Ph₂C=NH₂⁺. After sodium hydroxide pellets are added to the solution, the Ph₂C=NH₂⁺ is neutralized, generating the expected benzophenone imine.[4]

Applications

Protecting group for primary amines

Primary amines can be protected benzophenone imine, and the protected amines are stable in flash chromatography.[5]

Amination of aryl halides

Buchwald-Hartwig amination is a very important kind of reaction for coupling aromatic halide and amine to form carbon-nitrogen bonds with the help of palladium-involved catalysts. In order to obtain anilines, ammonia is required in this reaction. However, ammonia can bind to palladium tightly, which makes the normal Buchwald-Hartwig reaction unavailable. In 1997, Buchwald et. al found that benzophenone imine can be used as an ammonia-equivalent and solve the above limitations.[1]

Palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl halides via benzophenone imine[1]

gollark: What scripts idea? Also, do I have to rename all potatOS `ecc.lua` things now?

gollark: Well, hexadecimal is less likely to run into escaping/encoding weirdness.

gollark: Why not just stick the key in with the table metadata bit?

gollark: Troubling.

gollark: ```lualocal function unhexize(key) local out = {} for i = 1, #key, 2 do local pair = key:sub(i, i + 1) table.insert(out, tonumber(pair, 16)) end return outendlocal function hexize(key) local out = "" for _, v in pairs(key) do out = out .. string.format("%.2x", v) end return outend```
