The reactivity of (-)-ephedrine (2) and (+)-norpseudoephedrine (3) towards the amid-acetals 1 a/b has been studied.Both 2 and 3 were acetylated resp. formylated at first at the amino group.Nevertheless, derivatives of 2 and 3 possessing a trisubstituted amino group react with 1 a in a sigmatropic rearrangement to ortho substituted dimethylcarbamoylmethyl derivatives.By subsequent reduction with lithiumaluminiumhydride the aromatic compounds 8, 13, and 18 with two aminoethyl groups are easily available.In contrast to these results 1 b did not furnish any rearrangement products.
