Olefins containing amine moieties undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylations with benzene and substituted benzenes in the presence of triflic acid to yield arenes in 49-99% yields. Suspension of the amine-containing olefins in triflic acid and an arene yields the product arenes. This method is used in brief syntheses of the anti-spasmodic agents fenpiprane and prozapine from 1-(trans-cinnamyl)piperidine and 1-(trans-cinnamyl)hexahydroazepine, resp. Alkenes can be immobilized on polystyrene beads with triflic acid to yield resin-bound amines and piperazines; beads crosslinked with 2% divinylbenzene are stable to the reaction conditions while macroporous beads are damaged under the reaction conditions. The alkylation reactions are proposed to occur via dicationic carbocation intermediates containing protonated amine salts; the 13C NMR spectra of a dication generated in situ from (4,4-diphenyl-3-butenyl)piperidine under superacidic conditions is obtained as evidence for the proposed intermediates.
