title: Preparation of secondary and tertiary amines from nitroarenes and alcohols.
abstract: Various secondary amines were obtained selectively from the reaction of nitroarenes with primary alcohols in the presence of ruthenium(II) complexes having phosphine-amine ligands as the catalyst. Secondary amines could be further alkylated with a primary alcohol using the same catalyst, but different conditions.
