The synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines (ASA) is commonly achieved by N-alkylation of primaryamines with alcohols. Here, we investigated the ASA synthesis via the direct amination of alcohols withnitriles, which avoids ...

A simple one-pot procedure for the direct reductive amination of aldehydes using lithium powder and a catalytic amount of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB) or a polymer supported naphthalene as reducing system is described. ...

Intermolecular radical amination reactions of various primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals by using trimethylstannylated benzophenone imine A as a novel radical acceptor to provide imines of type B are described. ...

Tertiary amines are one of the typical catalysts used to accelerate transesterification reactions in epoxy vitrimers. Instead of adding a tertiary amine (e.g. tributylamine, TBA) to the initial formulation, secondary (e.g. ...
