We herein describe an efficient, CO2-tuned and highly selective C-O bond cleavage of N-methylated formanilides. With easy-to-handle and commercially available NaBH4 as the reductant, a variety of formanilides could be turned into the desired tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields. The role of CO2 has been investigated in detail, and the mechanism is proposed on the basis of experiments.

We report both an intermolecular C-H amination of arenes to access N-methylanilines and an intramolecular variant for the synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines. A newly developed, highly electrophilic aminating reagent was key for the direct synthesis of unprotected N-methylanilines from simple arenes. The reactions display a broad functional group tolerance and employ catalytic amounts of a benign iron salt under mild reaction conditions.
Efficient methylation of anilines with methanol catalysed by cyclometalated ruthenium complexes

Cyclometalated ruthenium complexes4-10allow the effective methylation of anilines with methanol to selectively giveN-methylanilines. This hydrogen autotransfer procedure proceeds under mild conditions (60 °C) in a practical manner (NaOH as base). Mechanistic investigations suggest an active homogenous ruthenium complex and β-hydride elimination of methanol as the rate determining step.
