UTFSE hmm I thought it was an ok question.
as far as I know the best results are obtained from low boiling point amines ethylamine ,methylamine ,ammonia I was going to try
isopropylamine but never got around to it just to much other chem to be done. dont know about cyclics and aromatic amines might be worth a try though I would at a guess say the rings would get in the way of solvating the
electron and if they dont there molecular weight would make it very expensive comapred to isopropylamine.
try a methylman amalgum on acetone you never know it might be the answer
