Alanine triazole iridium-catalyzed C-N bond formation through borrowing hydrogen strategy

An efficient synthesis of secondary amines has been described through alanine triazole iridium-catalyzed C-N bond formation of an aromatic amine and an alkyl amine by using the borrowing hydrogen strategy. In addition, it was observed that alanine triazole iridium is also an efficient catalyst to promote C-N bond formation of an aromatic amine and alcohols with good to excellent yields.88
