Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Hydrogenation was only the beginning</bold>: Hantzsch esters have now been used to transfer alkyl groups to imines under mild catalytic conditions to provide a variety of amines (see scheme). Benzyl, secondary alkyl, and tertiary alkyl groups containing ether, ester, and hydroxy functionalities were transferred successfully. The use of Hantzsch esters as alkylation reagents offers a practical and complementary alternative to organometallic processes.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36jxcgwx" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
