Cover Feature: Highly Efficient Base Catalyzed N‐alkylation of Amines with Alcohols and β‐Alkylation of Secondary Alcohols with Primary Alcohols (ChemCatChem 20/2023)

The Cover Feature represents two different roads available to carry out the N‐alkylation of amines with alcohols. The first road is wide and taken by many people; it consists of transition metal catalysis operating via the well‐known “borrowing‐hydrogen” pathway. In contrast, the findings reported b...

Description
Summary:The Cover Feature represents two different roads available to carry out the N‐alkylation of amines with alcohols. The first road is wide and taken by many people; it consists of transition metal catalysis operating via the well‐known “borrowing‐hydrogen” pathway. In contrast, the findings reported by M. T. Johnson, O. F. Wendt and co‐workers in their Research Article lays out a road less travelled, using the presence of air along with catalytic amount of base to reach the final goal. As indicated by the magnification, the methodology has a broader scope than shown and can be applied to similar reactions, one example in the report being the β‐alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols. More information can be found in the Research Article by M. T. Johnson, O. F. Wendt and co‐workers.
