Benzylamines play a prominent role in numerous pharmaceutically active compounds. Thus, the development of novel, sustainable catalytic methodologies to provide access to these privileged structural motifs is of central importance. Herein we describe a systematic study for the construction of a large variety of benzylamines using a well-defined homogeneous iron complex. The methodology consists of the direct coupling of readily available benzyl alcohols with simpler amines through the borrowing hydrogen methodology, producing a variety of substituted secondary and tertiary benzylamines in moderate to excellent yields for the first time with an iron catalyst. Notably, we explore the versatility of this methodology in the one-pot synthesis of nonsymmetric tertiary amines, sequential functionalization of diols with distinctly different amines, and the synthesis of N-benzyl piperidines via various synthetic pathways. In addition, direct conversion of the renewable building block 2,5-furan-dimethanol to pharmaceutically relevant compounds is achieved.

A highly selective phosphine-based ruthenium catalyst system efficiently catalyzes the direct amination of alcohols with aliphatic tertiary amines, yielding unsymmetric tertiary amines in yields up to 87%. Ligand and solvent both affect the reaction yields significantly. The reaction can be performed with a wide variety of functionalities.
