Herein a green and convenient catalytic N-methylation of aniline and n-hexylamine using methanol as a dual methylation agent and solvent has been investigated. A new ruthenium carbonyl complex was synthesized and applied as a homogeneous catalyst in methylation reaction. The solid-state structure of the complex was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis which indicate xantphos ligand bonded to ruthenium (II) as a tridentate pincer ligand by two P donor and one O atom. The catalytic system showed excellent conversion and selectivity toward N-methylaniline, and N,N-hexyldimethylamine at 140°C.

The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.
