Application

4,N,N-Trimethylaniline is a tertiary amine that can undergo iron-catalyzed oxidative C-C coupling with phenylacetylene and benzamide in the presence of tert-butylperoxide to form N,4-dimethyl-N-(3-phenylprop-2-ynyl)benzenamine and N-((methyl(p-tolyl)amino)methyl)benzamide, respectively.
