Alkyl formates in the presence of basic additives can serve as a reagent in the direct reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. The developed procedure can be applied to various aldehydes and ketones with electron donating and electron withdrawing groups.

N-Methyl- and N-alkylamines represent important fine and bulk chemicals that are extensively used in both academic research and industrial production. Notably, these structural motifs are found in a large number of life-science molecules and play vital roles in regulating their activities. Therefore, the development of convenient and cost-effective methods for the synthesis and functionalization of amines by using earth-abundant metal-based catalysts is of scientific interest. In this regard, herein we report an expedient reductive amination process for the selective synthesis of N-methylated and N-alkylated amines by using nitrogen-doped, graphene-activated nanoscale Co3O4-based catalysts. Starting from inexpensive and easily accessible nitroarenes or amines and aqueous formaldehyde or aldehydes in the presence of formic acid, this cost-efficient reductive amination protocol allows the synthesis of various N-methyl- and N-alkylamines, amino acid derivatives, and existing drug molecules.
