N-Methyl- and N-alkylamines represent important fine and bulk chemicals that are extensively used in both academic research and industrial production. Notably, these structural motifs are found in a large number of life-science molecules and play vital roles in regulating their activities. Therefore, the development of convenient and cost-effective methods for the synthesis and functionalization of amines by using earth-abundant metal-based catalysts is of scientific interest. In this regard, herein we report an expedient reductive amination process for the selective synthesis of N-methylated and N-alkylated amines by using nitrogen-doped, graphene-activated nanoscale Co3O4-based catalysts. Starting from inexpensive and easily accessible nitroarenes or amines and aqueous formaldehyde or aldehydes in the presence of formic acid, this cost-efficient reductive amination protocol allows the synthesis of various N-methyl- and N-alkylamines, amino acid derivatives, and existing drug molecules.

2-Substituted 5-alkylidene-6-(dimethylamino)methyl-1,3-cyclohexadienes (E)-4 and (Z)-4 were prepared by the reaction of α,4-disubstituted dimethyl[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]benzylammonium iodides 2 with cesium fluoride. Their E-isomers were stable at room temperature and could be used in the Diels-Alder reaction. Some related reactions are also described.
