Abstract
In a straightforward process for the N-alkylation of amines, readily available carboxylic acids and silanes as the hydride source enable an effective C-N bond construction under mild conditions and allow obtaining a broad range of alkylated secondary and tertiary amines, including fluoroalkyl-substituted anilines as well as the bioactive compound Cinacalcet HCl.
