A Facile and environmental friendly method for C=N bond cleavage of imines using p-toluenesulfonic acid in solid State

A simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines C=N bond. Deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚C. The salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. These features make this method an attractive alternative to existing routes for deprotection of iminesA simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines C=N bond.
