Abstract

Two interdependent steps appear to be involved in the CO₂‐mediated electrophilic substitution of cyclic amines in the α position. The key finding is that the lithium carbamate 1 is not lithiated with tBuLi to any extent, but reacts only after addition of electrophiles like Me₃SiCl to give the desired α‐substitution product 2. (Figure Presented.)
