Select your group : Either a primary or tertiary alkyl group can be selectively introduced onto the nitrogen atom of tosylamides in a ruthenium‐catalyzed reaction employing hydrosilanes through a judicious choice in the esters that serve as the alkyl source (see scheme; Ts= 4‐toluenesulfonyl). These N‐alkylation reactions are useful for construction of naturally occurring azacyclic skeletons.
