Efficient and selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols catalysed by manganese pincer complexes

Efficient and selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols catalysed by manganese pincer complexes

Hydrogen borrowing is an attractive method for C-N bond formation - avoiding multiple alkylation products and reducing waste - but often is carried out with noble metals. Here the authors show that a manganese catalyst allows the selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols.
