One-Pot Synthesis of Imines and Secondary Amines by Pd-Catalyzed Coupling of Benzyl Alcohols and Primary Amines

Abstract
Imines and secondary amines were synthesized selectively by controlling reaction conditions for the Pd-catalyzed one-pot reactions of benzyl alcohols with primary amines. The reactions did not require any additives and were effective for a wide range of alcohols and amines.
