Abstract

Abstract The N-alkylation of ammonia (or its surrogates, such as urea, NH 4 HCO 3, and (NH 4) 2 CO 3) and amines with alcohols, including primary and secondary alcohols, was efficiently promoted under anaerobic conditions by the easily prepared and inexpensive supported ruthenium hydroxide catalyst Ru (OH) x/TiO 2. Various types of symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted “tertiary” amines could be synthesized by the N-alkylation of ...
