A novel, mild approach featuring simplified operation has been developed for the direct synthesis of complex N-aryl tertiary amines via a three-component reaction, utilizing an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex strategy. In contrast to previous studies, which have primarily focused on two-component reaction systems for the functionalization of N-aryl tertiary amines, our method enables the functionalization of a diverse range of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and N,N-dialkylanilines under the established reaction conditions.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
