An efficient catalytic system for the alkylation of amines with either alcohols or amines under mild conditions has been developed, using cyclometallated iridium complexes as catalysts. The method has broad substrate scope, allowing for the synthesis of a diverse range of secondary and tertiary amines with good to excellent yields. By controlling the ratio of substrates, both mono- and bis-alkylated amines can be obtained with high selectivity. In particular, methanol can be used as the alkylating reagent, affording N-methylated products selectively. A strong solvent effect is observed for the reaction.

Here, we show the results of a molecular-defined conjugated ketone catalyzed alcohol amination reaction. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the yields to the desired products reached 98%. The reaction mechanism and kinetic study supposed that carbonyl-hydroxyl groups are the catalytically active sites, and the transfer-hydrogenation reactions progress via the recycling of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. The catalytic process shows promise as an efficient and economic route for alcohol amination reactions.
