Application of N-Alkyl Amines as Versatile Building Blocks in Oxidative Coupling Reactions

Abstract

The oxidative functionalization of N-alkylamines is one of the most direct and versatile strategies for the formation of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. In recent years, N-alkylamines as multifunctional blocks have made great progress in crossdehydrogenation-coupling (CDC) reactions. The recent progress in the application of N-alkylamines is summarized on the basis of different roles in oxidative coupling reactions.
