Abstract

Heteroaromatic amines were N-alkylated with primary alcohols at 150-200° C in the presence of a catalytic amount of various ruthenium complexes to give the corresponding monoalkylated and dialkylated amines in good to high yields. For example, 2-aminopyridine reacted with an excess of ethanol at 180° C for 20 h in the presence of dichlorotris (triphenylphosphine) ruthenium [RuCl2 (PPh3) 3] to give 2-(ethylamino) pyridine (1) and 2 ...
