Abstract
A method for the catalytic reductive N‐alkylation of amines by using secondary amides as the alkyl source was developed. A versatile type of carboxamide functioned as an N‐alkylation reagent in the presence of an indium(III) catalyst and a hydrosilane to provide alkylated tertiary amines efficiently. This amide‐based catalytic N‐alkylation strategy is considered to be a highly useful protocol to access unsymmetrical tertiary amines.
