Tertiary cyclic N-arylamines react with nitromethane in the presence of the tert-butyl hydroperoxide (T-HYDRO)/t-BuOK system to give β-nitroamines in up to 90% yield. When TMSCN is used in place of nitromethane, α-aminonitriles are obtained in up to 96% yield. The method is suitable for several unactivated cyclic arylamine substrates. These transformations are rationalized considering the formation of the corresponding iminium ion intermediates via an initial electron transfer process.
