Abstract

Abstract Possibly because homogeneous palladium catalysts are not typical borrowing hydrogen catalysts and ligands are thus ineffective in catalyst activation under conventional anaerobic conditions, they had not been used in the N-alkylation reactions of amines/amides with alcohols in the past. By employing the aerobic relay race methodology with Pd-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation being a more effective protocol for alcohol ...
