The first continuous flow process was developed to synthesize N-methyl secondary amines from alkyl mesylates and epoxides via a nucleophilic substitution using aqueous methylamine. A variety of N-methyl secondary amines were produced in good to excellent yields, including a number of bioactive compounds or their precursors. Up to 10.6 g (88% yield) of an N-methyl secondary amine was produced in 140 min process time. The amination procedure included an in-line workup, and the starting mesylate material was also produced in continuous flow from the corresponding alcohol. Finally, an in-line process combining the mesylate synthesis and nucleophilic substitution was developed.

Ionic liquids [bmim][X] (X = Cl, Br, I, OAc, SCN) are highly efficient reagents for nucleophilic substitution reactions of sulfonate esters derived from primary and secondary alcohols. The counter anions (X-) of the ionic liquids, [bmim][X], effectively replace the sufonates affording the corresponding substitution products such as alkyl halides, acetates, and thiocyanides in excellent yields. The newly developed protocol is very environmentally attractive because the reactions use stoichiometric amounts of ionic liquids as sole reagents in most cases and do not require additional solvents, any other activating reagents, non-conventional equipment, or special precautions. Moreover, these ionic liquids can be readily recycled without loss of reactivity, making the whole process greener.
