Higher amines are widely used in both the bulk and fine chemical industry for the synthesis of fundamental materials, such as additives, dyes and agrochemicals.[1] Therefore, the development of a selective N-alkylation method that is cost effective, salt free and environmentally benign is of considerable interest. Indeed, reactions involving the N- alkylation of amines with alcohols [2](RÀOH) in place of RÀX, where X denotes halide, ...
