The reaction of trialkylboranes with n-chloroalkylamines to produce a wide variety of functionally substituted dialkylamines in good yield is reported. The reaction is presumed to occur via an anionotropic migration of an alkyl group from boron to nitrogen. The possibility of a competitive free-radical reaction occurring is evidenced by the formation of alkyl chlorides as byproducts. Results of syntheses by this method are presented in one table, and data documenting the competitive free-radical reaction is contained in a second table.
