Unknown before 2013 , a novel methodology utilizes CO 2 as a carbon source for the methylation of amines, with water as the by‐product. This strategy offers a sustainable route to methylamines by converting CO 2 to value‐added chemicals, using molecular hydrogen as a cheap and renewable reductant. The method may open novel applications for recycling CO 2 to bulk and fine chemicals.
