Abstract

The invention relates to a method for realizing selective N-methylation of primary amine, which comprises the following steps: in a nitrogen gas protective atmosphere or in the air, adding a primary amine derivative, a metal iridium or ruthenium complex, methanol and alkali into a reaction vessel; reacting the reaction mixture at 100-150 DEG C for several hours, and then cooling to room temperature; and performing rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then performing column separation to obtain a target compound. Compared with the prior art, the reaction shows the following remarkable advantages: 1) the methanol is used as an alkylation agent, thereby avoiding the use of virulent haloalkane and dimethyl sulfate; 2) the reaction only generates water as the byproduct, thereby causing no environmental hazard; 3) the reaction is high in atom economy; 4) the reaction shows absolute selectivity, and the reaction only generates mono-methyl products and generates no bis-methyl products; and 5) the reaction shows wide substrate universality and is effective for various primary amine derivatives.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis chemistry, and in particular relates to a method for selectively N-methylating primary amines. Background technique [0002] N-methylated primary amines are an important class of organic synthesis reactions, widely used to synthesize natural products, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and key intermediates. ((a) Carey, F. A.; Sundberg, R. J. Advanced Organic Chemistry , 4th ed.; Kluwer Academic: New York, 2001; Part B, Chapter 3.2.5. (b) Aurelio, L.; Brownlee, R. T. C.; Hughes A. B. Chem. Rev. 2004, 104 , 5823-5846). The traditional method of N-methylating primary amine is to use highly toxic and dangerous methyl halide and dimethyl sulfate as methylating reagents, and complete it with the participation of alkali. This reaction is also difficult to control because the monomethylated product produced by the reaction is more nucleophilic than the primary amine, so it is easy to react to...
