Additive-free N-methylation reaction synergistically catalyzed by Pt single atoms and clusters on α-MoC using methanol as a sustainable C1 source

Abstract

The synergistic effect of Pt single atoms and Pt clusters in the Pt_1+n/α-MoC catalyst plays a leading role in reductive N-methylation process, successfully realizing the green process by only using methanol as both hydrogen source and methylation reagents.

Regulating hydrogen spillover in Pt/M-ZrO₂ catalysed reductive N-methylation of aniline under mild conditions

Abstract

Hydrogen spillover, regulated by a high density of surface acidic and basic sites, enhances the low-temperature catalytic activity of Pt/M-ZrO₂, achieving a near-quantitative yield of NNDMA and outperforming previous studies in turnover frequency.

Continuous-flow reductive N-methylation with highly active heterogeneous Pd catalysts and sequential-flow synthesis of N-monomethyl amines

Abstract

We describe continuous-flow N-methylation with formaldehyde and H₂ using heterogeneous Pd catalysts as a green synthetic method to access N-methyl amines.

Exploring the reductive CO₂ fixation with amines and hydrosilanes using readily available Cu(II) NHC–phenolate catalyst precursors

Abstract

Readily available Cu(II) organometallic catalyst precursors allow the N-methylation of amines with CO₂ and hydrosilanes to be efficiently performed.

Ruthenium(II) arene complexes bearing simple dioxime ligands: effective catalysts for the one-pot transfer hydrogenation/N-methylation of nitroarenes with methanol

Abstract

Ruthenium(II) η⁶-arene complexes with easily-available dioxime ligands are efficient catalytic precursors for the selective reduction/N-methylation of aromatic nitrocompounds with methanol.
