Abstract

Abstract Copper-aluminium hydrotalcite (CuAl-HT)/K 2 CO 3 has been employed in the activation of various benzyl alcohols with benzylamines to afford the corresponding amines in good to high yields. Experimentation showed that the reaction takes place through sequential transformations: the oxidation of alcohols into carbonyl compounds, imine formation between amines and carbonyl compounds, and then reduction ofimines to ...
