The synergistic effect of Pt single atoms and Pt clusters in the Pt1+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.
We describe continuous-flow N-methylation with formaldehyde and H2 using heterogeneous Pd catalysts as a green synthetic method to access N-methyl amines.
Readily available Cu(II) organometallic catalyst precursors allow the N-methylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilanes to be efficiently performed.
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.
The present report discloses a unified strategy for reductive N-acetylation/formylation directly from nitroarenes employing DMAc and DMF as the source of acetyl and formyl groups in the presence of sodium dithionite as the sole reagent.
