Abstract

The first deaminative homologation of amines (–CH2NH2) to esters (–CH2CH2COOEt) in one-pot is reported. The reaction proceeds through, formation of an aldehyde from an amine in the presence of Pd/C as catalyst followed by Wittig reaction and catalytic hydrogenation using poly (ethylene glycol) as the solvent in one-pot.
