The selective N-monomethylation of primary anilines was realized by the use of the Me3N-BH3/N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) system as the methyl source. This method also allows for the controllable introduction of N-CH2D, N-CHD2, and N-CD3 units with high levels of deuterium incorporation using Me3N-BH3/d7-DMF, Me3N-BD3/DMF and Me3N-BD3/d7-DMF systems, respectively.

N-monomethyl amines are useful intermediates in drugs, natural products, paints. Yet their synthesis is a tremendous challenge due to their high reactivity, typically leading to overmethylation. In this contribution, a highly selective catalytic N-methylation methodology is reported, converting urea derivatives to monomethylated amines, using a commercially available heterogeneous Pd/C catalyst and methanol as unique reagent.

Borane-trimethylamine complex (MeN·BH; BTM) is the most stable of the amine-borane complexes that are commercially available, and it is cost-effective. It is a valuable reagent in organic chemistry with applications in the reduction of carbonyl groups and carbon-nitrogen double bond reduction, with considerable examples in the reduction of oximes, hydrazones and azines. The transfer hydrogenation of aromatic -heterocycles and the selective -monomethylation of primary anilines are further examples of recent applications, whereas the reduction of nitrobenzenes to anilines and the reductive deprotection of -tritylamines are useful tools in the organic synthesis.

Cationic polymers have been extensively investigated as a potential replacement for traditional antibiotics. Here, we examined the effect of molecular weight (MW) on the antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and hemolytic activity of linear polytrimethylenimine (L-PTMI). The results indicate that the biological activity of the polymer sharply increases as MW increases.

The use of methanol for the selective methylation of aromatic amines with RuHCl(CO)(PNP) (PNP = bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)amine) is reported. Various aromatic amines were transformed into their corresponding monomethylated secondary amines in high yields at 150 °C with a very low catalyst loading (0.02-0.
