Here we describe a new experimental approach to the synthesis of the β-benzylmercaptoethylamine functionality and illustrate its synthetic utility in multi-component reactions. Although prevalent in modern organic synthesis, no general methods have been described for this functionality. Using a carefully developed LiOH-water-ethanol reaction mixture we were able to produce a diverse collection of β-benzylmercaptoethylamines containing a range of sensitive functional groups in excellent yields.
