N-Alkylation of functionalized amines with alcohols using a copper–gold mixed photocatalytic system
Abstract Direct functionalization of amino groups in complex organic molecules is one of the most important key technologies in modern organic synthesis, especially in the synthesis of bio-active chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Whereas numerous chemical reactions of amines have been developed to date...
