Cs2CO3‐Promoted Direct N‐Alkylation: Highly Chemoselective Synthesis of N‐Alkylated Benzylamines and Anilines

Abstract: Herein is described an efficient and chemoselective method for the synthesis of diversely substituted secondary amines in yields up to 98 %. Direct mono‐N‐alkylation of primary benzylamines and anilines with a wide range of alkyl halides is promoted by a cesium base in the absence of any additive or catalyst. The basicity and solubility of cesium carbonate in anhydrous N,N‐dimethylformamide not only enables mono‐N‐alkylation of primary amines but also suppresses undesired dialkylation of the desired amines.

“…Over the decades, the interest in pyrazole derivatives has been significantly increased due to their interesting chemical, physical and biological properties imparting it the status of privileged scaffold. [ 1 ] The pyrazole nucleus involves a five‐membered heterocyclic unit which contains three carbon atoms and two adjacent nitrogens. [ 2 ] Among the azole family, pyrazole is one of the most studied classes of hetereocyclic compounds.…”

“…A wide range of homogeneous transition metal-based catalysts accomplishes this domino process and current research focuses on the development of more efficient catalysts for performing the reactions under mild conditions. [4] Current advances in the earth abundant element-based catalysts [6] or transition metal-free highly chemoselective catalytic systems [7] but only a few systems are able to perform asymmetric borrowing hydrogen catalysis. [8] Iridium-based systems, mainly half-sandwich cyclopentadienyl Ir III complexes, are among the most active catalysts in the field of catalytic (transfer) hydrogenation chemistry.…”
