Room‐Temperature Dialkylamination of Chloroheteroarenes Using a Cu(II)/PTABS Catalytic System

The dimethylamino functionality has significant importance in industrially relevant molecules and methodologies to install these efficiently are highly desirable. We report herein a highly efficient, room‐temperature dimethylamination of chloroheteroarenes performed via the in‐situ generation of dimethylamine using N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) as precursor wiith a large substrate scope that includes various heteroarenes, purines as well as commercially relevant drugs such as altretamine, ampyzine and puromycin precursor.
