A new and straightforward method was developed for the synthesis of N-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines by one-pot reductive N-methylation of quinolines with paraformaldehyde and H2 over Pd/C catalyst. A series of functional MTHQs, including (±)-galipinine and (±)-angustrureine were successfully synthesized in good to excellent yields by applying this simple catalyst system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The selective N-monomethylation of amines is an important topic in fine chemical synthesis. Herein, for the first time, we described a selective N-monomethylation reaction of amines with paraformaldehyde and H2 in the presence of a CuAlOx catalyst. A variety of amines, including primary aromatic amines, benzylamine and cyclohexylamine, as well as secondary amines, have been shown to be compatible with this reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
