Abstract
The Cu(OAc)(2)/CF3COOH (TFA) system catalyzes the aminomethylation of gaseous alkanes such as propane and ethane with trimethylamine N-oxide to give N,N-dimethylisobutylamine (1) and N,N-dimethylpropylamine (7) , respectively. The corresponding trifluoroacetates are also formed as by-products from the reactions of methane and propane.
