Popis: The formation of Mannich bases from the electrochemical oxidation of 4-substituted N,N-dimethylaniline in the presence of silyl enol ether was studied. The yield of bases obtained depended on the relative oxidation potentials of the starting amine compound and the base formed. An electron-donating substituent on the amine showed a large difference in the oxidation potentials and gave the highest yield of product. On the other hand, the oxidation potentials were very close with an electron-withdrawing substituent and the yield in base was relatively much lower. Furthermore, the main product in the case of an electron-withdrawing group in the presence of 1-trimethylsilyloxy-1-cyclohexene was 4-substituted 2-(2-oxocyclohexyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline. Some side products were also isolated and were identified as N,N-diketonic compounds.
