Tertiary amines are ubiquitous and valuable compounds in synthetic chemistry, with a wide range of applications in organocatalysis, organometallic complexes, biological processes and pharmaceutical chemistry. One of the most frequently used pathways to synthesize tertiary amines is the reductive amination reaction of carbonyl compounds. Despite developments of numerous new reductive amination methods in the past few decades, this reaction generally requires non-atom-economic processes with harsh conditions and toxic transition-metal catalysts. Herein, we report simple yet practical protocols using triflic acid as a catalyst to efficiently promote the direct reductive amination reactions of carbonyl compounds on a broad range of substrates. Applications of this new method to generate valuable heterocyclic frameworks and polyamines are also included.

An in situ-generated complex from [RuCpCl2]2 and dpePhos ligand is reported as an efficient catalyst in the presence of 5 mol % of LiOtBu for the N-methylation of amines using methanol as the methylating agent at moderate conditions, following hydrogen borrowing strategy. This simple catalyst system provides selective N-monomethylation of substituted primary anilines and sulfonamides as well as N,N dimethylation of primary aliphatic amines in excellent yields at 40-100 °C with good tolerance to reducible functional groups. The catalytic intermediate CpRu(dpePhos)H was isolated and was shown to be active for methylation in the absence of base.
