Abstract
A new base-mediated protocol has been developed for the synthesis of imines and amines from N-phenylureas and alcohols under normal air. From the synthetic point of view, the protocol can be considered as an efficient alternative to conventional methods for the synthesis of imines and amines in moderate to excellent yields.

- 21 Imines 3a–s; General Procedure A mixture of the appropriate N-arylurea (1 mmol), arylmethanol (3 mmol), and KOH (1.5 mmol) was stirred at 135 °C under a normal air atmosphere in a sealed 20-mL Schlenk tube for 24 h. When the reaction was complete (GC), EtOAc (3 mL) and H2O (3 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred vigorously. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 3 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (basic alumina saturated with Et3N, PE). The identity of the compound was confirmed by various spectroscopic techniques, and its purity was determined by GC-MS analysis.

- 23 Amines 4a–m; General Procedure A 20 mL Schlenk tube was charged with the appropriate N-arylurea (1 mmol), arylmethanol (5 mmol), and KOt-Bu (3.5 mmol). The mixture was then heated at 135 °C under normal atmospheric air for 24 h while the progress of reaction was monitored by GC and/or TLC. When the reaction was complete, H2O (3 mL) and EtOAc (3 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred vigorously. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 3 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography [silica gel (100–200 mesh), PE–EtOAc] to give the corresponding pure product. The product was characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and its purity was confirmed by GC–MS analysis.
