Silica-functionalized CuI has been reported as an efficient and selective catalyst for the selective mono-N- and N,N-dibenzylation, allylation, and alkylation of primary amines with benzylic, allylic, and alkyl halides using NaOH as base in aqueous medium. By changing the reaction temperature, mono- or di-benzylation, allylation, or alkylation could be achieved in good yield and selectivity. Secondary amines have also been benzylated, allylated, and alkylated ...
