Pd/C–Catalyzed Selective N‐Monomethylation by Transfer Hydrogenation of Urea Derivatives using Methanol as H2 and C1 Sources

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...
