title: Improved and General Manganese-Catalyzed N-Methylation of Aromatic Amines Using Methanol.
abstract: A novel lutidine-based manganese PNP-pincer complex has been synthesized for the selective N-methylation of aromatic amines with methanol. Using borrowing hydrogen methodology, a selection of differently functionalized aniline derivatives is selectively methylated in good yields.
