Abstract
•New benzimidazolium sulfonate salts•In situ generated catalyst from [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and benzimidazolium sulfonate•N-alkylation of aromatic amines with alcohols via hydrogen borrowing process
New benzimidazolium sulfonate salts have been prepared and fully characterized. They have been associated in situ with [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 to generate efficient catalytic systems operating at 120 °C under neat conditions in the presence of potassium tert-butylate for selective N-alkylation of primary aromatic amines into secondary amines.
