- Dimethylamination of Primary Alcohols Using a Homogeneous Iridium Catalyst: A Synthetic Method for N, N-Dimethylamine Derivatives
-
A new catalytic system for N,N-dimethylamination of primary alcohols using aqueous dimethylamine in the absence of additional organic solvents has been developed. The reaction proceeds via borrowing hydrogen processes, which are atom-efficient and environmentally benign. An iridium catalyst bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand exhibited high performance, without showing any deactivation under aqueous conditions. In addition, valuable N,N-dimethylamine derivatives, including biologically active and pharmaceutical molecules, were synthesized. The practical application of this methodology was demonstrated by a gram-scale reaction.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed /V-alkylation of amines and sulfonamides using borrowing hydrogen methodology
-
The alkylation of amines by alcohols has been achieved using 0.5 mol percent [Ru(p-cymene)CI2]2 with the bidentate phosphines dppf or DPEphos as the catalyst. Primary amines have been converted into secondary amines, and secondary amines into tertiary amines, including the syntheses of Piribedil, Tripelennamine, and Chlorpheniramine. A/-Heterocyclization reactions of primary amines are reported, as well as alkylation reactions of primary sulfonamides. Secondary alcohols requiremore forcing conditions than primary alcohols but are still effective a lkylating agents in the presence of this catalyst.
