Novel and efficient base-mediated N-alkylation and amidation of amidines with alcohols have been developed, which can be carried out in one-pot reaction conditions, which allows for the synthesis of a wide range of N-alkyl amines and free amides in good to excellent yields with high atom economy. In contrast to borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer or oxidative-type N-alkylation reactions, in which alcohols are activated by transition-metal-catalyzed or oxidative aerobic dehydrogenation, the use of amidines provides an effective surrogate of amines. This circumvents the inherent necessity in N-alkylation of an oxidant or a catalyst to be stabilized by ligands.

An efficient zinc-catalyzed N-alkylation reaction of aromatic amines was achieved using aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic alcohols as the alkylating reagent. A variety of aniline derivatives, including heteroaromatic amines, underwent the N-alkylation reaction and furnished the corresponding monoalkylated products in good to excellent yields. The application of the reaction is also further demonstrated by the synthesis of a 2-phenylquinoline derivative from acetophenone and 2-aminobenzyl alcohol. Deuterium labeling experiments show that the reaction proceeds via a borrowing hydrogen process. (Figure presented.).

Herein, we developed an efficient and selective nickel-catalyzed monoalkylation of various primary alcohols with aryl and heteroaryl amines together with diols and amino alcohol derivatives. Notably, the catalytic protocol consisting of an earth-abundant and non-precious NiBr2/L1 system enables the transformations in the presence of hydroxyl, alkene, nitrile, and nitro functionalities. As a highlight, we have demonstrated the alkylation of diamine, intramolecular cyclization to N-heterocycles, and functionalization of complex vitamin E, an (±)-α-tocopherol derivative. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed the participation of a benzylic C-H bond in the rate-determining step.
