Benzophenone imine is an organic compound with the formula of (C6H5)2C=NH. A pale yellow liquid, benzophenone imine is used as a reagent in organic synthesis.[1]

Synthesis

Benzophenone imine can be prepared by the thermal decomposition of benzophenone oxime:[2]

2 (C6H5)2C=NOH → (C6H5)2C=NH + (C6H5)2C=O

Benzophenone imine can also be synthesized by addition of phenylmagnesium bromide to benzonitrile followed by careful hydrolysis (lest the imine be hydrolyzed):[3]

C6H5CN + C6H5MgBr → (C6H5)2C=NMgBr
(C6H5)2C=NMgBr + H2O → (C6H5)2C=NH + MgBr(OH)

This method is known as Moureu-Mignonac ketimine synthesis.[4] Yet another route to benzophenone imine involves reaction of benzophenone and ammonia.[5]

Reactions

Benzophenone imine undergoes deprotonation with alkyl lithium reagents.[6]

(C6H5)2C=NH + CH3Li → (C6H5)2C=NLi + CH4
(C6H5)2C=NLi + CH3I → (C6H5)2C=NCH3 + LiI

Primary amines can be protected as benzophenone imines, and the protected amines are stable in flash chromatography.[7]

Buchwald-Hartwig amination involves coupling aromatic halide and amine to form carbon-nitrogen bonds with the help of palladium-based catalysts. Benzophenone imine can be used as an ammonia-equivalent in such reactions.[1]
