Tandem Synthesis of N‐Alkylated Amides from Aldoximes and Alcohols by Using a Ru/Ir Dual‐Catalyst System

In the same boat: Tandem rearrangement/N-alkylation reactions in the presence of a Ru/Ir dual-catalyst system affords the desired N-alkylated amines in good-to-excellent yields with no intermediate amides or over-alkylated N,N-dialkylated amides. This environmentally friendly tandem reaction employs readily available starting materials, affords excellent selectivities for the N-alkylated amides, and shows high atom efficiency.
