Forster–Decker method
open-in-new
<p>The Forster–Decker method is a series of <a href="/facts/Chemical_reaction/GpqWlKrz">chemical reactions</a> that have the effect of mono-<a href="/facts/Alkylation/1rd5SNbt">alkylating</a> a primary <a href="/facts/Amine/JvfYJfP6">amine</a> (1), forming a secondary amine (6). The process occurs by way of transient formation of an <a href="/facts/Imine/yK72z07j">imine</a> (3) that undergoes the actual alkylation reaction. </p>
