Catalytic N-Alkylation of Anilines

The review summarizes data on modern approaches to N-alkylation of anilines using metal complex and heterogeneous catalysts based on palladium, platinum, rhodium, nickel, iron, copper, gold supported on various materials, as well as zeolites, metal oxides (titanium, iron, copper, and aluminum). The N-alkylation reactions of anilines with alkyl halides, alcohols, dimethyl carbonate, aldehydes, as well as with CO2/H2 and alkylation with alternative reagents are considered.
