title: Borrowing hydrogen methodology for amine synthesis under solvent-free microwave conditions.
abstract: Application of microwave heating to the Borrowing Hydrogen strategy to form C-N bonds from alcohols and amines is presented, removing the need for solvent and reducing the reaction times while still yielding results comparable with those using thermal heating.
