Research Progress of N-Alkylation of Alcohol and Amine by "Hydrogen Reaction"

Amine compounds are widely found in natural products, pharmaceuticals and fine chemical products. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop methods for synthesizing amine compounds. Therefore, in recent years, a new method of synthesizing amines has been developed, namely "hydrogen borrowing reaction". This article reviews the alkylation of primary alcohols and amines, the cyclization of amino alcohols to form N-heterocyclic compounds, the reaction of diols and amines to form N-heterocyclic compounds, the reaction of alcohols and sulfonamides, and the reaction of alcohols and amines containing N heteroatoms , Alcohol and ammonia gas and ammonia to produce amine by hydrogen reaction research progress.
