N-Methylbenzylamines react with bromine in acetonitrile to form N-benzylidenemethylamines.Under similar conditions 2-benzylaminoethanols and 3-benzylaminopropan-1-ols afford 3-benzyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidines and 3-benzyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazinanes, respectively. 2-Benzylidineaminoethanols and 3-benzylideneaminopropan-1-ols likewise give 2-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazoles and 2-aryl-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazines, respectively.When N-benzylidenemethylamine is treated with bromine in the presence of alcohols, benzaldehyde acetals are obtained.
