Discovering the role of N-heterocyclic carbene as hydrogen borrowing organocatalyst: metal-free, direct N -alkylation of amines with benzyl alcohols

A highly sustainable, bench-stable, N-heterocyclic carbene based organocatalyst has been demonstrated to impersonate the role of a transition-metal catalyst which had already been proven to be a milestone in the hydrogen borrowing reaction of amines with alcohols. In the present study, an inexpensiv...
