Pd@[nBu4][Br] as a Simple Catalytic System for N-Alkylation Reactions with Alcohols

Abstract

Palladium nanoparticles, simply and briefly generated in commercial and cheap onium salts using supercritical carbon dioxide, have been found to be an effective catalytic system for additive free N-alkylation reaction using alcohols via cascade oxidation/condensation/reduction steps.
