title: Iron-catalyzed direct synthesis of imines from amines or alcohols and amines via aerobic oxidative reactions under air.
abstract: Abundant and cheap iron readily catalyzed the aerobic oxidative reactions of primary amines, secondary amines, benzylamines with anilines, and alcohols with amines by directly using air as the economic and safe oxidant, providing several direct, practical, and greener approaches for the preparation of useful imines.
