A robust diphosphine-ruthenium(II) complex has been developed that can efficiently catalyze hydromethylation of N-heteroarenes to form N-methyl saturated N-heterocycles viz the reduction of N-heterocycles coupled with C–N bond formation. Both indoles and quinolines can be transformed to their corresponding N-methyl indolines and N-methyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines with high conversion (e.g., 12 indoles and 9 quinolines). On the basis of a series of experiments, a possible mechanism has been proposed to account for the hydrogenation and methylation processes involved in the catalytic pathway. More importantly, this approach provides a potential route for using DME as a methyl source for the production of N-methyl saturated N-heterocycles via hydromethylation.

New Journal of Chemistry

NJC (New Journal of Chemistry) is a broad-based primary journal encompassing all branches of chemistry and its sub-disciplines. It contains full research articles, communications, perspectives and focus articles. This well-established journal, owned by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) of France, has been co-published with the Royal Society of Chemistry since January 1998. NJC is the forum for the publication of high-quality, original and significant work that opens new directions in chemistry or other scientific disciplines. In addition to having a significant chemical component, work published in NJC must demonstrate that it will have an impact on areas of research other than that of the reported work.
