Dialkyl phosphite as a highly selective mono-N-alkylating agent using indium triflate under microwave irradiation

Abstract

Indium triflate catalyzed selective mono-N-alkylation of primary amines is reported using dialkyl phosphite as an alkylating agent under microwave irradiation. The mono-N-alkyl selectivity is largely accelerated when the conventional heating was replaced by the “greener” microwave irradiation. The overall procedure is operationally simple, mild, eco-friendly and straightforward.
