Abstract

Phenol carbamates undergo an anionic ortho-Fries rearrangement to their corresponding amides in the presence of LDA. Sterically hindered substrates can be converted with s-BuLi/TMEDA at -90°C. The amides can be efficiently reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to the corresponding Mannich bases.
