Abstract

Pt and MoO(x) co-loaded TiO2 is found to be highly effective for direct methylation of aliphatic and aromatic secondary amines by CO2 and H2 under solvent-free conditions. This is the first additive-free and reusable heterogeneous catalytic system with acceptable turnover number.

Keywords: carbon dioxide; heterogeneous catalysis; hydrogenation; methylation; platinum.
