Abstrakt: The polyethylene glycol (PEG) moiety has become increasingly important in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we describe the PEG functionalization of amines via hydrogen borrowing reductive amination. This was accomplished using the [Ru( p -cymene)Cl 2 ] 2 catalyst and phosphorus-containing ligand dppf or DPE to yield a variety of PEGylated primary and secondary amine products. Furthermore, we illustrate the utility of this method with the synthesis of quetiapine (Seroquel) in 62% isolated yield.
