Catalytic N-alkylation of amines by alcohols to produce desired amines is an important catalytic reaction in industry. Various noble-metal-based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts have been reported for this process. The development of cheap non-noble-metal heterogeneous catalysts for the N-alkylation reaction would be highly desirable. Hereby, we propose the N-alkylation of amines by alcohols over a cheap and efficient heterogeneous catalyst-titanium hydroxide. This catalyst provides a selectivity higher than 90% to secondary amines for functionalized aromatic and aliphatic alcohols and amines with high catalytic activity and stability. Mild Br?nsted acidity formed by the continuous rehydration of Lewis acidity excludes the side reactions and deactivation by adsorbed species. The mechanism of the reaction involves dehydration of alcohols to ethers with subsequent C-O bond cleavage by amine with the formation of secondary amine and recovery of alcohol.

The synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines (ASA) is commonly achieved by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols. Here, we investigated the ASA synthesis via the direct amination of alcohols with nitriles, which avoids the synthesis, separation and purification of the primary amines in a first step. Specifically, the ASA synthesis via N-alkylation of butyronitrile (BN) with primary (n-propanol, iso-butanol and n-octanol) and secondary (2‐propanol, 2‐butanol and 2‐octanol) alcohols was studied on SiO2-supported Co, Ni and Ru catalysts. Competitive BN hydrogenation‐condensation reactions formed dibutylamine (the symmetric secondary amine) and tertiary amines as main secondary products. On Co/SiO2, the ASA selectivities for BN/primary alcohol reactions were between 49 and 58% at complete BN conversion, forming dibutylamine and tertiary amines as byproducts. For BN/secondary alcohol reactions, Co/SiO2 formed selectively (ASA + dibutylamine) mixtures containing 78–85% of ASA, thereby showing that the alcohol amination with nitriles is an attractive alternative route for the synthesis of valuable asymmetric secondary amines.

It has been stated that immobilized nickel nanoparticles catalyze disproportionation and cross-coupling of amines. The influence of the support on the catalysis of these properties in the in plug-flow reactor has been studied. The use of active carbon as the support has been found advantageous for the cross-coupling of amines, whereas alumina was a better support for the disproportionation reaction.
Colloid and nanosized catalysts in organic synthesis: XIV. Reductive amination and amidation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles

Hydrogenation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles in the presence of primary amines led to the predominant formation of unsymmetrical secondary amines. In the presence of secondary amines hydrogenation of nitrites provided enamines as main products. Hydrogenation of nitriles in the presence of formamide or acetamide afforded formyl or acetyl derivatives of primary amines.
