The general procedure for the synthesis of N-methyldicyclohexylamine from the compound (CAS:88374-60-1) is as follows: phenylboronic acid (1.0 equiv. for aliphatic N-oxides and 1.5 equiv. for pyridine N-oxides) was mixed with tertiary amine N-oxide (1 mmol) in dichloroethane (2 mL) at 80 °C and stirred. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was transferred to a pressure tube and the reaction was continued at 120 °C. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed sequentially with water and sodium hydroxide solution (1 equiv., 3 x 5 mL). The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated and purified by column chromatography to afford the target product, N-methyl dicyclohexylamine.
