From: N-Alkylation of functionalized amines with alcohols using a copper–gold mixed photocatalytic system
A mixture of two photocatalysts enables rapid N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under light irradiation. (a) Representative pharmaceuticals with N-alkylated groups: Rivastigmine (dementia), Venlafaxine (depression), Imipramine (depression), Alverine (gastropathy). (b) General scheme of N-alkylation of amines employing alcohols as alkylation reagents. (c) Outline of this study.
