$alpha$-Functionalized benzylamine(Nu=OAc, OMe, $N_3$)은 유기합성의 출발물질 또는 synthon으로서 매우 유용할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 benzylphthalimide를 137$^{circ}C$, chlorobenzene 용매 하에서 NBS/NaOAc/HOAc조건을 사용하여, 높은 수율로 phthalimide-benzyl acetate을 얻는 방법을 개발하였다. 마지막으로, phthalimide-benzyl acetate을 $NH_2NH_2$/HOAc 조건 하에서, amino(phenyl)methyl acetate (1)을 합성하였다.
$alpha$-Functionalized benzylamine(Nu=OAc, OMe, N$_3$) will be very usefud as a starting material or synton in organic synthesis. We have investigated the first synthetic methodology of phthalimide-ben-zylacetate from benzylphthalimide, which are prepared in NBS/NaOAc/HOAc in chlorobenzene at 137$^{circ}C$ for 12 hr in good yield. Finally, amino(phenyl)methyl acetate (1) was synthesized from phthalimide-benzyl acetate under NH$_2$NH$_2$/HOAC.
