Paragraph 0048-0057, (2021/03/13)
The invention discloses a method for realizing N-alkylation by using alcohols as a carbon source under photocatalysis, and belongs to the technical field of catalytic synthesis. Alcohol, a substrate raw material and a catalyst are placed in a reaction device, ultraviolet and/or visible light irradiation is carried out in an inert atmosphere, after the irradiation is finished, solid-liquid separation is carried out to remove the catalyst, and an N-alkylation product can be obtained through extraction, distillation and purification, wherein the substrate raw material comprises any one of an amine compound, an aromatic nitro compound or an aromatic nitrile compound, the alcohol comprises any one or more of soluble primary alcohols, and the catalyst is metal oxide/titanium dioxide or metal sulfide/titanium dioxide. The method is simple and easy to operate, can be used for efficient photocatalysis one-pot multi-step hydrogenation N-alkylation reaction, and is mild in reaction condition, high in chemical selectivity of N-alkylamine, good in catalyst stability and easy to recycle.
Trialkylammonium salt degradation: Implications for methylation and cross-coupling

Trialkylammonium (most notably N,N,N-trimethylanilinium) salts are known to display dual reactivity through both the aryl group and the N-methyl groups. These salts have thus been widely applied in cross-coupling, aryl etherification, fluorine radiolabelling, phase-transfer catalysis, supramolecular recognition, polymer design, and (more recently) methylation. However, their application as electrophilic methylating reagents remains somewhat underexplored, and an understanding of their arylation versus methylation reactivities is lacking. This study presents a mechanistic degradation analysis of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium salts and highlights the implications for synthetic applications of this important class of salts. Kinetic degradation studies, in both solid and solution phases, have delivered insights into the physical and chemical parameters affecting anilinium salt stability. 1H NMR kinetic analysis of salt degradation has evidenced thermal degradation to methyl iodide and the parent aniline, consistent with a closed-shell SN2-centred degradative pathway, and methyl iodide being the key reactive species in applied methylation procedures. Furthermore, the effect of halide and non-nucleophilic counterions on salt degradation has been investigated, along with deuterium isotope and solvent effects. New mechanistic insights have enabled the investigation of the use of trimethylanilinium salts in O-methylation and in improved cross-coupling strategies. Finally, detailed computational studies have helped highlight limitations in the current state-of-the-art of solvation modelling of reaction in which the bulk medium undergoes experimentally observable changes over the reaction timecourse.

Disclosed herein is a cross-dehydrogenative-coupling reaction of N-heterocycles including 1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H, 4H)-diones and quinoxaline-2(1H)-ones with N-methylanilines to form C(sp2)-C(sp3) under visible-light illumination and ambient air at room temperature. In this process, easily available Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O serves as the catalyst, and air acts as the green oxidant. This method features high atom economy, environmental friendliness, and convenient operation and provides an efficient and practical access to aminomethyl-substituted N-heterocycles with extensive functional group compatibility in 40-86% yields.
