Abstract

Ketones react with primary amines in dioxane at 180 °C in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium catalyst to give the corresponding α-alkylated ketones in moderate to good yields. With alkyl(methyl) ketones, the alkylation takes place exclusively at less-hindered methyl position over α-methylene.
