Significance

This work describes a simple, highly versatile and practical method for the alkylation of primary and secondary amines as well as sulfonamides with various alcohols. A broad range of substrates can be used in this reaction that offers mostly excellent yields of products. This method is especially valuable for the modular synthesis of compounds libraries for pharmaceutical and agrochemical screening.
