Synthesis of nitrogen-13 labeled alkylamines via amination of organoboranes

Int J Rad Appl Instrum A. 1986;37(6):469-70. doi: 10.1016/0883-2889(86)90148-6.

Abstract

Organoboranes react with nitrogen-13 labeled ammonia to produce alkylamines in moderate yield. When 13N labeled ammonia was bubbled into a tetrahydrofuran solution containing 0.5M tridecylborane, 1-[13N]aminodecane was formed in 25-30 min from the end of bombardment (EOB) in 40-60% overall yield. 1-[13N]aminooctane and 1-[13N]aminohexane were also synthesized from appropriate organoboranes in similar yield.
