Preparation of secondary and tertiary amines from nitroarenes and alcohols

Abstract

Various secondary amines were obtained selectively from the reaction of nitroarenes with primary alcohols in the presence of ruthenium(II) complexes having phosphine-amine ligands as the catalyst. Secondary amines could be further alkylated with a primary alcohol using the same catalyst, but different conditions.
