Design of a Bifunctional Ir–Zr Based Metal–Organic Framework Heterogeneous Catalyst for the N‐Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols

The direct N‐alkylation of amines with alcohols was performed with an Ir‐Zr‐based metal–organic framework multifunctional heterogeneous catalyst. This system is efficient and environmentally benign for the synthesis of various organic amines in air in the absence of a base. The catalyst was recovered and reused without significant loss of activity, and only water was produced as a byproduct.
