Abstract

A substitution reaction of amines with alcohols for N-alkylated amines has been developed using inexpensive AlCl3 without any ligand or additive. Either aromatic or aliphatic amines and primary or secondary alcohols perform the AlCl3-mediated reaction smoothly to afford various N-alkylated amines in satisfactory yields.

Graphical abstractA direct N-alkylation of amines with alcohols has been developed using AlCl3 as a Lewis acid. Either aromatic or aliphatic amines and primary or secondary alcohols perform the AlCl3-mediated reaction smoothly to afford various N-alkylated amines.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
