Nitrogen doped graphene was modified by N-alkylation using a combination of phase transfer catalysis and microwave irradiation. The resulting derivatives of N-doped graphene were analysed showing that the bandgap of the material varied depending on the alkylation agent used.

We developed an organophotoredox-catalyzed reaction for N-alkylation of sulfonamides with aliphatic carboxylic acid-derived redox active esters as alkylating reagents. Under mild and transition metal-free conditions, a series functionalized N-alkylated were prepared. This protocol also enabled the functionalization pharmaceutical drugs bearing sulfonamide or acid moiety. radical-mediated proces...

A novel method for the mono-N-alkylation of primary amines, diamines, and polyamines was developed using cesium bases in order to prepare secondary amines efficiently. A cesium base not only promoted alkylation of primary amines but also suppressed overalkylations of the produced secondary amines. Various amines, alkyl bromides, and alkyl sulfonates were examined, and the results demonstrated t...

Abstract Borrowing hydrogen (BH) reactions are very useful for the sustainable synthesis of C−C and C−N bonds. They generally operate with transition metal‐based catalysts along stoichiometric/catalytic amounts added base. Here we report that two catalytic transformations, carried out BH methodology, i. e. N ‐alkylation amines alcohols β‐alkylation secondary primary alcohols, can be performed e...
