In this study, we developed a catalytic system for the C-alkylation of a methyl group on N-heteroaromatic compounds, including pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, quinoline, quinoxaline, and isoquinoline, using alcohols based on a hydrogen-borrowing process with [Cp*IrCl2]2 (Cp*: η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) combined with potassium t-butoxide and 18-crown-6-ether as the catalyst precursor.

Eighteen analogues of N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were synthesized and evaluated as substrates of monoamine oxidase. In general, the flexible analogues, characterized by the presence of a methylene (or ethylene) bridge between the aryl/heteroaryl and tetrahydropyridyl moieties, were better substrates of the enzyme than the conformationally restricted MPTP. It is suggested that the increased oxidative activity of these flexible analogues reflects enhanced binding due to the ability of the C-4-aryl/heteroaryl substituent to gain access to a hydrophobic pocket within the substrate binding site.
