Significant process intensification of the amination reactions of aryl halides and esters has been demonstrated using continuous flow processing. Using this technology traditionally difficult amination reactions have been performed safely at elevated temperatures. These reactions were successfully conducted on laboratory scale coil reactor modules with 1 mm internal diameter (ID) and on a preparatory scale tubular reactor with 6 mm ID containing static mixers.

Paragraph 0087-0091, (2021/08/07)
The invention discloses a method for catalyzing N-alkylation of aminopyridine. The method comprises the step of reacting an aminopyridine compound with an alkylation raw material in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst to obtain an N-alkylated aminopyridine compound. The alkylation reaction has high activity and selectivity, is simple to operate and low in catalyst price, does not need other reaction steps, is beneficial to large-scale industrial production, and compared with previous reports, does not need to use a large amount of noble metals, can be continuously carried out, and does not use other expensive organic raw materials or reducing agents in the process. Generation of a large amount of organic waste liquid and solid waste is avoided, and collection operation of process products is simple.

Methanol is a potential hydrogen source and C1 synthon, which finds interesting applications in both chemical synthesis and energy technologies. The effective utilization of this simple alcohol in organic synthesis is of central importance and attracts scientific interest. Herein, we report a clean and cost-competitive method with the use of methanol as both C1 synthon and H2 source for selective N-methylation of amines by employing relatively cheap RuCl3.xH2O as a ligand-free catalyst. This readily available catalyst tolerates various amines comprising electron-deficient and electron-donating groups and allows them to transform into corresponding N-methylated products in moderate to excellent yields. In addition, few marketed pharmaceutical agents (e. g., venlafaxine and imipramine) were also successfully synthesized via late-stage functionalization from readily available feedstock chemicals, highlighting synthetic value of this advanced N-methylation reaction. Using this platform, we also attempted tandem reactions with selected nitroarenes to convert them into corresponding N-methylated amines using MeOH under H2-free conditions including transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes-to-anilines and prepared drug molecules (e. g., benzocaine and butamben) as well as key pharmaceutical intermediates. We further enable one-shot selective and green syntheses of 1-methylbenzimidazole using ortho-phenylenediamine (OPDA) and methanol as coupling partners.

We report herein the selective N-methylation of amines and nitroarenes with methanol under basic conditions using carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/C) as a heterogeneous catalyst. This method is widely applicable to four types of N-methylation reactions: (1) N,N-dimethylation of aliphatic amines under N2, (2) N-monomethylation of aliphatic amines under 40 bar H2, (3) N-monomethylation of aromatic amines under N2, and (4) tandem synthesis of N-methyl anilines from nitroarenes and methanol under 2 bar H2. All these reactions under the same catalytic system showed high yields of the corresponding methylamines for a wide range of substrates, high turnover number (TON), and good catalyst reusability. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeded via a borrowing hydrogen methodology. Kinetic results combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the high performance of Pt/C was ascribed to the moderate metal–hydrogen bond strength of Pt.
