Solvent free acid catalysed direct N-alkylation of amines with alcohols using Al grafted MCM-41

N-Alkyl amide synthesis via N-alkylation of amides with alcohols

The present review summarizes the recent development of N-alkylation of amides with alcohols according to the classification of catalysts.

MnOx supported on a TiO2@SBA-15 nanoreactor used as an efficient catalyst for one-pot synthesis of imine by oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol and aniline under atmospheric air

Mesoporous silica (SBA-15) encapsulated TiO₂ nanoreactor used as support for MnOx and it (MnOx/TiO₂@SBA-15) acts as catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of imine by oxidative coupling between benzyl alcohol & aniline in the presence of atmospheric air.

Catalytic N-Alkylation of Amines Using Carboxylic Acids and Molecular Hydrogen

A convenient, practical and green N-alkylation of amines has been accomplished by applying readily available carboxylic acids in the presence of molecular hydrogen. Applying an in situ formed ruthenium/triphos complex and an organic acid as cocatalyst, a broad range of alkylated secondary and tertiary amines are obtained in good to excellent yields. This novel method is also successfully applied for the synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted N-methyl/alkyl anilines through a direct three-component coupling reaction of the corresponding amines, carboxylic acids, and CO2 as a C1 source.
