We report a simple one-pot protocol that affords functionalization of N-CH3 groups in N-methyl-N,N-dialkylamines with high selectivity over N-CH2R or N-CHR2 groups. The radical cation DABCO+?, prepared in situ by oxidation of DABCO with a triarylaminium salt, effects highly selective and contra-thermodynamic C-H abstraction from N-CH3 groups. The intermediates that result react in situ with organometallic nucleophiles in a single pot, affording novel and highly selective homologation of N-CH3 groups. Chemoselectivity, scalability, and recyclability of reagents are demonstrated, and a mechanistic proposal is corroborated by computational and experimental results. The utility of the transformation is demonstrated in the late-stage site-selective functionalization of natural products and pharmaceuticals, allowing rapid derivatization for investigation of structure-activity relationships.

Intramolecular cyclisation of trans-1-(benzylamino)-4-chlorocycloheptane and hept-2-ene gives the corresponding 8-azabicyclo(3.2.1)octane (nortropane) and -oct-6-ene (nortrop-6-ene) derivatives respectively.Under appropriate conditions, cyclohept-1,3-diene is converted into nortropane in 75percent overall yield.
