To begin with, your professor is right - an acid catalyzed alkene hydroamination just isn't going to happen in the way you propose. As an alternative, check out the Ritter reaction. As for your observations, if I am correct in my assumption that the 1% ammonia solution you used is ...
I need help. I have read in few articles that p-nitrobenzyl bromide decomposite in environment of reaction. It's especially in base environment. What is the reason of decomposition and what are the product of decomposition
Does anyone know of a reliable method to obtain enantiopure diaminocyclohexane? Jacobsen and others resolve it via the tartrate salt, but releasing the free base is turing into an oversized nightmare - am I missing
Sorry I don't know if I should be posting this in a technical forum... Anyway, I need to make a solution using a proteasome inhibitor (Carbobenzoxy-L-isoleucyl-(gamma)-t-butyl-L-glutamyl-L-alanyl-L-leucinal. Z-Ile-Glu(OBut)-Ala-Leu-H (aldehyde).)It's a Cell-permeable inhibitor
