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.
Chemistry of dicationic electrophiles: superacid-catalyzed reactions of amino acetals.

Amino acetals are shown to form highly electrophilic systems in Bronsted superacids. It is proposed that amino acetals give dicationic electrophiles, and this proposal is supported by the direct observation of a dication by low-temperature (13)C NMR. When reacted with C(6)H(6) and superacidic CF(3)SO(3)H, amino acetals are shown to provide 1-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)amines and 1-(2,2-diphenylethyl)amines as condensation products in good yields (50-99%).
Synthesis of 5-alkylidene-6-(dimethylamino)methyl-1,3-cyclohexadienes from α-substituted benzyldimethylammoniomethylides

2-Substituted 5-alkylidene-6-(dimethylamino)methyl-1,3-cyclohexadienes (E)-4 and (Z)-4 were prepared by the reaction of α,4-disubstituted dimethyl[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]benzylammonium iodides 2 with cesium fluoride. Their E-isomers were stable at room temperature and could be used in the Diels-Alder reaction. Some related reactions are also described.
