title: Mild nonepimerizing N-alkylation of amines by alcohols without transition metals.
abstract: A one-pot two-step sequence involving an oxidation/imine-iminium formation/reduction allowed the N-alkylation of amines by alcohols without any epimerization when optically active alcohols and amines are involved in the process.
