All of the complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, and 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies. These complexes have been tested for the N-alkylation of aromatic amines with arylmethyl alcohols under neat conditions in the presence of KOtBu at 120 ?C. Compounds (2) are stable and have high catalytic/selective activity for the N-alkylation reactions of primary amines to afford secondary amines.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAmineHydrogen auto-transfer methodN-alkylationRu(II)-NHCArticle52010.1016/j.ica.2021.1202942-s2.0-85103301858Q2WOS:000647788800007Q2
