Abstract

The N-methylation of amines using CO₂ and PhSiH₃ as source of CH₃ was efficiently performed using a N-heterocyclic carbene copper(I) complex. The methodology was found compatible with aromatic and aliphatic primary and secondary amines. Synthetic and computational studies have been carried out to support the proposed reaction mechanism for this transformation.
