- Chemoselective hydrogenation of unsaturated nitriles to unsaturated primary amines: Conversion of cinnamonitrile on metal-supported catalysts
-
The liquid-phase hydrogenation of cinnamonitrile to selectively obtain the unsaturated primary amine (cinnamylamine) was studied at 383 K and 13 bar on Ni, Co, Ru and Cu metals supported on a commercial silica. Ni/SiO2 and Co/SiO2 were the most active catalysts for cinnamonitrile conversion but formed only small amounts of cinnamylamine. In contrast, Cu/SiO2 and Ru/SiO2 presented low activity for cinnamonitrile hydrogenation but formed selectively cinnamylamine in the liquid phase; nevertheless, on both samples the carbon balance was only about 40%. In an attempt of promoting the rate and yield to cinnamylamine, additional catalytic runs were carried out at higher temperatures and H2 pressures on a highly dispersed Cu(11%)/SiO2 catalyst prepared by the chemisorption-hydrolysis method. Results showed that when cinnamonitrile hydrogenation was performed at 403 K and 40 bar on Cu(11%)/SiO2, the yield to cinnamylamine was 74% giving as by-product only the unsaturated secondary amine (dicinnamylamine).

- Self-regulated catalysis for the selective synthesis of primary amines from carbonyl compounds
-
Most current processes for the general synthesis of primary amines by reductive amination are performed with enormously excessive amounts of hazardous ammonia. It remains unclear how catalysts should be designed to regulate amination reaction dynamics at a low ammonia-to-substrate ratio for the quantitative synthesis of primary amines from the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Herein we show a facile control of the reaction selectivity in the layered boron nitride supported ruthenium catalyzed reductive amination reaction. Specifically, locating ruthenium to the edge surface of layered boron nitride leads to an increased hydrogenation activity owing to the enhanced interfacial electronic effects between ruthenium and the edge surface of boron nitride. This enables self-accelerated reductive amination reactions which quantitatively synthesize structurally diverse primary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with twofold ammonia.

- Direct Conversion of Hydrazones to Amines using Transaminases
-
Transaminase enzymes (TAms) have been widely used for the amination of aldehydes and ketones, often resulting in optically pure products. In this work, transaminases were directly reacted with hydrazones in a novel approach to form amine products. Several substrates were investigated, including those with furan and phenyl moieties. It was determined that the amine yields increased when an additional electrophile was added to the reaction mixture, suggesting that they can sequester the hydrazine released in the reaction. Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), a cofactor for transaminases, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-aldehydes were both found to increase the yield of amine formed. Notably, the amination of (S)-(?)-1-amino-2-(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine (SAMP) hydrazones gave promising results as a method to form chiral β-substituted amines in good yield.

- Sequential hydroaminomethylation/Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis as an atom efficient route to valuable primary and secondary amines
-
The facile synthesis of valuable primary and secondary amines is reported using a sequential procedure of hydroaminomethylation and Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis. The hydroaminomethylation reaction was catalyzed by a cationic Rh(I) iminopyridyl complex and the N-alkylated benzylamines were produced with high chemoselectivity, albeit as mixtures of linear and branched products. Performing the hydrogenolysis reaction using 10% Pd/C, provided access to valuable primary and secondary amines which have applications in the surfactant, pharmaceutical and polymer industries.

- Ambient-Temperature Synthesis of Primary Amines via Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds
-
Efficient synthesis of primary amines via low-temperature reductive amination of carbonyl compounds using NH3 and H2 as the nitrogen and hydrogen resources is highly desired and challenging in the chemistry community. Herein, we employed naturally occurring phytic acid as a renewable precursor to fabricate titanium phosphate (TiP)-supported Ru nanocatalysts with different reduction degrees of RuO2 (Ru/TiP-x, x represents the reduction temperature) by combining ball milling and molten-salt processes. Very interestingly, the obtained Ru/TiP-100 had good catalytic performance for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds at ambient temperature, resulting from the synergistic cooperation of the support (TiP) and the Ru/RuO2 with a suitable proportion of Ru0 (52%). Various carbonyl compounds could be efficiently converted into the corresponding primary amines with high yields. More importantly, the conversion of other substrates with reducible groups could also be achieved at ambient temperature. Detailed investigations indicated that the partially reduced Ru and the support (TiP) were indispensable. The high activity and selectivity of Ru/TiP-100 catalyst originates from the relatively high acidity and the suitable electron density of metallic Ru0.

- Facile synthesis of controllable graphene-co-shelled reusable Ni/NiO nanoparticles and their application in the synthesis of amines under mild conditions
-
The primary objective of many researchers in chemical synthesis is the development of recyclable and easily accessible catalysts. These catalysts should preferably be made from Earth-abundant metals and have the ability to be utilised in the synthesis of pharmaceutically important compounds. Amines are classified as privileged compounds, and are used extensively in the fine and bulk chemical industries, as well as in pharmaceutical and materials research. In many laboratories and in industry, transition metal catalysed reductive amination of carbonyl compounds is performed using predominantly ammonia and H2. However, these reactions usually require precious metal-based catalysts or RANEY nickel, and require harsh reaction conditions and yield low selectivity for the desired products. Herein, we describe a simple and environmentally friendly method for the preparation of thin graphene spheres that encapsulate uniform Ni/NiO nanoalloy catalysts (Ni/NiO?C) using nickel citrate as the precursor. The resulting catalysts are stable and reusable and were successfully used for the synthesis of primary, secondary, tertiary, and N-methylamines (more than 62 examples). The reaction couples easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) with ammonia, amines, and H2 under very mild industrially viable and scalable conditions (80 °C and 1 MPa H2 pressure, 4 h), offering cost-effective access to numerous functionalized, structurally diverse linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic amines including drugs and steroid derivatives. We have also demonstrated the scale-up of the heterogeneous amination protocol to gram-scale synthesis. Furthermore, the catalyst can be immobilized on a magnetic stirring bar and be conveniently recycled up to five times without any significant loss of catalytic activity and selectivity for the product.

- Decarboxylative Amination: Diazirines as Single and Double Electrophilic Nitrogen Transfer Reagents
-
The ubiquity of nitrogen-containing small molecules in medicine necessitates the continued search for improved methods for C-N bond formation. Electrophilic amination often requires a disparate toolkit of reagents whose selection depends on the specific structure and functionality of the substrate to be aminated. Further, many of these reagents are challenging to handle, engage in undesired side reactions, and function only within a narrow scope. Here we report the use of diazirines as practical reagents for the decarboxylative amination of simple and complex redox-active esters. The diaziridines thus produced are readily diversifiable to amines, hydrazines, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles in one step. The reaction has also been applied in fluorous phase synthesis with a perfluorinated diazirine.

- A State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous Catalyst for Efficient and General Nitrile Hydrogenation
-
Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.

- Boron tribromide as a reagent for anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to cyclopropanes

Although radical formation from a trialkylborane is well documented, the analogous reaction mode is unknown for trihaloboranes. We have discovered the generation of bromine radicals from boron tribromide and simple proton sources, such as water ortert-butanol, under open-flask conditions. Cyclopropanes bearing a variety of substituents were hydro- and deuterio-brominated to furnish anti-Markovnikov products in a highly regioselective fashion. NMR mechanistic studies and DFT calculations point to a radical pathway instead of the conventional ionic mechanism expected for BBr3

- Anti-Markovnikov Hydroamination of Alkenes with Aqueous Ammonia by Metal-Loaded Titanium Oxide Photocatalyst
-
A completely new route was established to synthesize valuable primary amines from alkenes by using aqueous ammonia, that is, a simple photocatalytic hydroamination of alkenes using aqueous ammonia with a metal-loaded TiO2 photocatalyst. Although the photochemical hydroamination prefers to form amines according to the Markovnikov rule, the new photocatalytic hydroamination gives anti-Markovnikov products predominantly. With an Au-loaded TiO2 photocatalyst, the amine yield reached up to 93% and the regioselectivity of anti-Markovnikov products was above 98%. The reaction mechanism was proposed for the new photocatalytic hydroamination.

- Development of Carbon-Neutral Cellulose-Supported Heterogeneous Palladium Catalysts for Chemoselective Hydrogenation
-
Palladium catalysts immobilized on cellulose particles (Pd/CLP) and on a cellulose-monolith (Pd/CLM) were developed. These composites were applied as hydrogenation catalysts and their catalyst activities were evaluated. Although both catalysts catalyzed the deprotection of benzyloxycarbonyl-protected aromatic amines (Ar-N-Cbz) and aromatic benzyl esters (Ar-CO2Bn), only Pd/CLM could accomplish the hydrogenolysis of aliphatic-N-Cbz and aliphatic-CO2Bn protective groups. The difference in the physical structure of the cellulose supports induced unique chemoselectivity. Aliphatic-N-Cbz and aliphatic-CO2Bn groups were tolerated under the Pd/CLP-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions, while Ar-N-Cbz, Ar-CO2Bn, alkene, alkyne, azido and nitro groups could be smoothly reduced.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 8-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-6-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazine-3(4H)-one derivatives as potent β2-adrenoceptor agonists
-
A series of β2-adrenoceptor agonists with an 8-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-6-hydroxy-1,4-benzoxazine-3(4H)-one moiety is presented. The stimulatory effects of the compounds on human β2-adrenoceptor and β1-adrenoceptor were characterized by a cell-based assay. Their smooth muscle relaxant activities were tested on isolated guinea pig trachea. Most of the compounds were found to be potent and selective agonists of the β2-adrenoceptor. One of the compounds, (R)-18c, possessed a strong β2-adrenoceptor agonistic effect with an EC50 value of 24 pM. It produced a full and potent airway smooth muscle relaxant effect same as olodaterol. Its onset of action was 3.5 min and its duration of action was more than 12 h in an in vitro guinea pig trachea model of bronchodilation. These results suggest that (R)-18c is a potential candidate for long-acting β2-AR agonists.

- Ruthenium(II)-cored supramolecular organic framework-mediated recyclable visible light photoreduction of azides to amines and cascade formation of lactams
-
Ru(bpy)3]2+-cored supramolecular organic framework SMOF-1, assembled from a [Ru(bpy)3]2+-derived hexaarmed molecule and cucurbit[8]uril, has been demonstrated to heterogeneously catalyze visible light-induced reduction of phenyl, benzyl, 2-phenylethyl and 3-phenylpropyl azides in acetonitrile to produce the corresponding amines in good to high yields. For the last two kinds of azides that bear a CO2Me group at the para-position of the benzene ring, cascade reactions take place to generate the corresponding lactams in high yields. Compared with homogeneous control [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2, SMOF-1 exhibits remarkably increased photocatalysis activity as a result of synergistic effect of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ units that form cubic cages to host the azide molecules and related intermediates. Moreover, SMOF-1 displays high recyclability and considerable photocatalysis activity after 3 to 12 runs.

- A high performance catalyst of shape-specific ruthenium nanoparticles for production of primary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds
-
The creation of metal catalysts with highly active surfaces is pivotal to meeting the strong economic demand of the chemical industry. Specific flat-shaped pristine fcc ruthenium nanoparticles having a large fraction of atomically active {111} facets exposed on their flat surfaces have been developed that act as a highly selective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the production of various primary amines at exceedingly high reaction rates by the low temperature reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. The high performance of the catalyst is attributed to the large fraction of metallic Ru serving as active sites with weak electron donating ability that prevail on the surface exposed {111} facets of flat-shaped fcc Ru nanoparticles. This catalyst exhibits a highest turnover frequency (TOF) of ca. 1850 h-1 for a model reductive amination of biomass derived furfural to furfurylamine and provides a reaction rate approximately six times higher than that of an efficient and selective support catalyst of Ru-deposited Nb2O5 (TOF: ca. 310 h-1).

- N-Alkylation of Aqueous Ammonia with Alcohols Leading to Primary Amines Catalyzed by Water-Soluble N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Iridium

A new catalytic system for the N-monoalkylation of aqueous ammonia with a variety of alcohols was developed. Water-soluble dicationic complexes of iridium bearing N-heterocyclic carbene and diammine ligands exhibited high catalytic activity for this type of reaction on the basis of hydrogen-transfer processes without generating harmful or wasteful byproducts. Various primary amines were efficiently synthesized by using safe, inexpensive, and easily handled aqueous ammonia as a nitrogen source. For example, the reaction of 1-(4-methylphenyl)ethanol with aqueous ammonia in the presence of a water-soluble N-heterocyclic carbene complex of iridium at 150 °C for 40 h gave 1-(4-methylphenyl)ethylamine in 83 % yield.

A method for the primary electrophilic amination of primary, secondary, and tertiary organometallic substrates from a bench-stable NH-oxaziridine reagent is described. This facile and highly chemoselective transformation occurs at ambient temperature and without transition metal catalysts or purification by column chromatography to provide alkylamine products in a single step.

- Cobalt-based nanoparticles prepared from MOF-carbon templates as efficient hydrogenation catalysts
-
The development of efficient and selective nanostructured catalysts for industrially relevant hydrogenation reactions continues to be an actual goal of chemical research. In particular, the hydrogenation of nitriles and nitroarenes is of importance for the production of primary amines, which constitute essential feedstocks and key intermediates for advanced chemicals, life science molecules and materials. Herein, we report the preparation of graphene shell encapsulated Co3O4- and Co-nanoparticles supported on carbon by the template synthesis of cobalt-terephthalic acid MOF on carbon and subsequent pyrolysis. The resulting nanoparticles create stable and reusable catalysts for selective hydrogenation of functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic nitriles, and as well as nitro compounds to primary amines (>65 examples). The synthetic and practical utility of this novel non-noble metal-based hydrogenation protocol is demonstrated by upscaling several reactions to multigram-scale and recycling of the catalyst.

- Generation of novel family of reductases from PCR based library for the synthesis of chiral alcohols and amines
-
Biocatalysis has shown tremendous potential in the synthesis of drugs and drug intermediates in the last decade. Screening of novel biocatalysts from the natural genome space is the growing trend to replenish the harsh chemical synthetic routes, commonly used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Here, we report a novel ketoreductase (KERD) and a nitrile reductase isolated from the PCR based library generated from the genome of Rhodococcus ruber and Bacillus subtilis, respectively. Both the proteins are hypothetical in nature as there is no putative homology found in the database, although both the enzymes have significant activity towards the synthesis of chiral alcohols and amines. Enzyme activity over a wide range of substrates (aromatic and aliphatic) for both the novel catalysts was observed. From the unique gene sequence to activity over a broad range of substrate and >99% conversion at higher concentrations (100 mM and above) entitles both the hypothetical enzymes as novel. The novel KERD has shown >99% selectivity for the synthesis of (S)-phenylethanol which makes it a potential candidate for industrial catalysis. The novel nitrile reductase has also shown promising activity for the synthesis of (R)-2-phenylethanolamine, which is a difficult moiety to synthesize chemically. In this report, starting from a homology based library, two highly potent whole cell biocatalysts are obtained.

- Electronic Effect of Ruthenium Nanoparticles on Efficient Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds
-
Highly selective synthesis of primary amines over heterogeneous catalysts is still a challenge for the chemical industry. Ruthenium nanoparticles supported on Nb2O5 act as a highly selective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the low-temperature reductive amination of various carbonyl compounds that contain reduction-sensitive functional groups such as heterocycles and halogens with NH3 and H2 and prevent the formation of secondary amines and undesired hydrogenated byproducts. The selective catalysis of these materials is likely attributable to the weak electron-donating capability of Ru particles on the Nb2O5 surface. The combination of this catalyst and homogeneous Ru systems was used to synthesize 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan, a monomer for aramid production, from 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural without a complex mixture of imine byproducts.

Transaminase enzymes have significant potential for the sustainable synthesis of amines using mild aqueous reaction conditions. Here a metagenomics mining strategy has been used for new transaminase enzyme discovery. Starting from oral cavity microbiome samples, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were performed. Subsequent in silico mining of a library of contiguous reads built from the sequencing data identified 11 putative Class III transaminases which were cloned and overexpressed. Several screening protocols were used and three enzymes selected of interest due to activities towards substrates covering a wide structural diversity. Transamination of functionalized cinnamaldehydes was then investigated for the production of valuable amine building blocks.

- Amine dehydrogenases: Efficient biocatalysts for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds
-
Amines constitute the major targets for the production of a plethora of chemical compounds that have applications in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and bulk chemical industries. However, the asymmetric synthesis of α-chiral amines with elevated catalytic efficiency and atom economy is still a very challenging synthetic problem. Here, we investigated the biocatalytic reductive amination of carbonyl compounds employing a rising class of enzymes for amine synthesis: amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs). The three AmDHs from this study-operating in tandem with a formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii (Cb-FDH) for the recycling of the nicotinamide coenzyme-performed the efficient amination of a range of diverse aromatic and aliphatic ketones and aldehydes with up to quantitative conversion and elevated turnover numbers (TONs). Moreover, the reductive amination of prochiral ketones proceeded with perfect stereoselectivity, always affording the (R)-configured amines with more than 99% enantiomeric excess. The most suitable amine dehydrogenase, the optimised catalyst loading and the required reaction time were determined for each substrate. The biocatalytic reductive amination with this dual-enzyme system (AmDH-Cb-FDH) possesses elevated atom efficiency as it utilizes the ammonium formate buffer as the source of both nitrogen and reducing equivalents. Inorganic carbonate is the sole by-product.

The catalyst precursor was reduced in situ using NaHBEt3, and the resulting Lewis acid formed, BEt3, was found to be integral to the observed catalysis. Mechanistic insights gleaned from para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) transfer NMR studies revealed that the pairwise hydrogenation of nitriles proceeded through a Co(I/III) redox process.

- Highly efficient aqueous phase chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalysed by phosphine-decorated polymer immobilized IL-stabilized PdNPs
-
Phosphino-decorated polymer immobilised ionic liquid phase stabilised palladium nanoparticles (PdNP@PPh2-PIILP) and their PEGylated counterparts (PdNP@PPh2-PEGPIILP) are remarkably active and exceptionally selective catalysts for the aqueous phase hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, esters and nitriles with PdNP@PPh2-PEGPIILP giving complete conversion and 100% selectivity for reduction of the CC bond, under mild conditions. This is the most selective PdNP-based system to be reported for the aqueous phase hydrogenation of this class of substrates.

- Colloid and nanosized catalysts in organic synthesis: XII. Hydrogenation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles
-
Hydrogenation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles in isopropanol proceeds under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen within 6-15 h to yield mainly secondary amines. Hydrogenation of α-aminonitriles results in reductive decyanation. β-Aminonitriles undergo hydrogenolysis at the nitrogen-carbon bond.

- Reductive amination of furfural to furfurylamine using aqueous ammonia solution and molecular hydrogen: An environmentally friendly approach
-
A simple and highly efficient method was developed for the transformation of furfural (a biomass derived aldehyde) to furfurylamine by reductive amination using an aqueous solution of ammonia and molecular hydrogen as an amine source and a reducing agent, respectively. By choosing a suitable catalyst, such as Rh/Al2O3, and reaction conditions, a very high selectivity of furfurylamine (~92%) can be achieved within the reaction time of 2 h at 80 °C. A detailed analysis of the reaction system sheds some light on the reaction pathway and provides an understanding about each elementary step. The reaction was believed to proceed via an imine pathway although no such intermediate was detected because of the highly reactive nature. Optimization of different reaction parameters such as hydrogen pressure, temperature and substrate/ammonia mole ratio is shown to be critical to achieve high selectivity of furfurylamine. Time-dependent reaction profiles suggested that a Schiff base type intermediate was in the detectable range, which offers indirect evidence of the formation of imine. Competitive hydrogenation and amination of an aldehyde group were strongly dictated by the nature of the metal used. The studied protocol represents an environmentally benign process for amine synthesis, which can be effectively extended to the other aldehydes also. The studied catalyst could be recycled successfully without any significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Integrated Heterogeneous Metal/Enzymatic Multiple Relay Catalysis for Eco-Friendly and Asymmetric Synthesis
-
Organic synthesis is in general performed using stepwise transformations where isolation and purification of key intermediates is often required prior to further reactions. Herein we disclose the concept of integrated heterogeneous metal/enzymatic multiple relay catalysis for eco-friendly and asymmetric synthesis of valuable molecules (e.g., amines and amides) in one-pot using a combination of heterogeneous metal and enzyme catalysts. Here reagents, catalysts, and different conditions can be introduced throughout the one-pot procedure involving multistep catalytic tandem operations. Several novel cocatalytic relay sequences (reductive amination/amidation, aerobic oxidation/reductive amination/amidation, reductive amination/kinetic resolution and reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution) were developed. They were next applied to the direct synthesis of various biologically and optically active amines or amides in one-pot from simple aldehydes, ketones, or alcohols, respectively.

- One-Pot Transformation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids into N-Alkylsuccin-imides with NIS and NCS/NaI
-
Primary aliphatic carboxylic acids were treated with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in 1,2-dichloroethane to form the corresponding alkyl iodides under warming conditions. Based on these results, those aliphatic carboxylic acids were treated with NIS, followed by the reaction with K2CO3to give the corresponding N-alkylsuccinimides in good yields in one pot. Moreover, those aliphatic carboxylic acids were treated with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and NaI, followed by the reaction with K2CO3to provide the corresponding N-alkylsuccinimides in good to moderate yields in one pot. By using the present method, successive treatment of primary aliphatic carboxylic acids (10 mmol) with NIS, K2CO3, and then hydrazine provided the corresponding decarboxylated primary amines in good yield.

- 2-(Phenylseleno)ethanesulfon-amide as a novel protecting group for aniline that can be deprotected by a radical reaction
-
Anilines were protected as 2-(phenylseleno)ethanesulfonanilide (SeES anilide) via sulfonylation by 2-chlorosulfonyl chloride followed by the conjugate addition of benzeneselenol. The SeES anilide was deprotected by radical reduction using tributyltin hydride in the presence of AIBN. The corresponding anilines were obtained in high yields when the hydride and AIBN were added to the system slowly. Since the radical reaction proceeds under neutral conditions, chemoselective deprotection of the SeES group was accomplished. The SeES anilide was stable under various conditions, including some severe conditions.

- SYNTHESIS OF AMIDES AND AMINES FROM ALDEHYDES OR KETONES BY HETEROGENEOUS METAL CATALYSIS
-
This invention concerns the first mild and efficient synthesis of primary amines and amides from aldehydes or ketones using a heterogeneous metal catalystand amine donor. The initial heterogeneous metal- catalyzed reaction between the carbonyl and the amine donor components is followed up with the addition of a suitable acylating agent component in one-pot. Hence, the present invention provides a novel catalytic one-pot three-component synthesis of amides. Moreover, the integration of enzyme catalysis allows for eco-friendly one-pot co-catalytic synthesis ofamides from aldehyde and ketone substrates, respectively. The process can be applied to the co-catalytic one-pot three-component synthesis of capsaicin and its analogues from vanillin or vanillyl alcohol. It can also be applied for asymmetric synthesis. In the present invention, a novel co-catalytic reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution (dkr) relay sequence for the asymmetric synthesis of optically active amides from ketones is disclosed. Moreover, implementation of a catalytic reductive amination/kinetic resolution (kr) relay sequence produces the corresponding optically active amide product and optical active primary amine product with the opposite stereochemistry from the starting ketones.

- A method for the production of primary amines
-
The invention relates to the field of chemical industry and particularly relates to a method for preparing primary amine by using the raw materials including halogenated hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon alcohol sulfonate) and ammonia water (or formamide). The method comprises the following three steps: (1) imidization: 3,4-diarylfuran-2,5-diketone (I) reacts with ammonia (or formamide) and the like to obtain 3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (II); (2) N-hydrocarbylation: 3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (II) generates an N-hydrocarbylation reaction with halogenated hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon alcohol sulfonate) in the presence of alkali to obtain N-hydrocarbyl-3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (III); and (3) hydrolysis: N-hydrocarbyl-3,4-diaryl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diketone (III) is subjected to alkali hydrolysis to obtain primary amine and the generated 2,3-diaryl maleate is subjected to acid treatment and automatic ring closing to form 3,4-diaryl furan-2,5-diketone (I) which is subjected to imidization and directly applied to the N-hydrocarbylation reaction. The method provided by the invention has the characteristics that the 3,4-diaryl furan-2,5-diketone can be circularly used at a high recovery rate, the molar ratio of the raw materials is low, and the yield of the product primary amine is high.

- Efficient chemoselective hydrogenation of organic azides catalyzed by palladium nanoparticles with alkyne-derived homogeneous supports
-
Catalytic chemoselective hydrogenation of organic azides using palladium nanoparticles stabilized by alkyne derivatives was studied. A broad range of aromatic and aliphatic azides were smoothly reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields with a quite small amount of the catalyst. Hydrogenation of 3-phenylpropylazide gave 3-phenylpropylamine almost quantitatively with a substrate-to-palladium molar ratio (S/Pd) of 12,900 under 8?atm of H2. The reaction under 1?atm of H2also proceeded smoothly with an S/Pd of 1000. Several reduction-sensitive functional groups, such as carbonyl, halide, benzylic OH, and aliphatic nitro were well tolerated under the reaction conditions.

- NNP-Type Pincer Imidazolylphosphine Ruthenium Complexes: Efficient Base-Free Hydrogenation of Aromatic and Aliphatic Nitriles under Mild Conditions
-
A series of seven novel NImNHP-type pincer imidazolylphosphine ruthenium complexes has been synthesized and fully characterized. The use of hydrogenation of benzonitrile as a benchmark test identified [RuHCl(CO)(NImNHPtBu)] as the most active catalyst. With its stable Ru-BH4 analogue, in which chloride is replaced by BH4, a broad range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic nitriles, including industrially interesting adiponitrile, has been hydrogenated under mild and base-free conditions.

- The application of a supported palladium catalyst for the hydrogenation of aromatic nitriles
-
The use of a Pd/C catalyst in the liquid phase hydrogenation of various aromatic nitriles (benzonitrile, benzyl cyanide, 3-phenyl propionitrile and cinnamonitrile) has been studied in order to assess the effectiveness of this type of catalyst for this class of reaction. On modifying the nitrile substituent and upon introducing conjugation, varying degrees of conversion are observed. For benzyl cyanide and 3-phenylpropionitrile, incomplete mass balance profiles are linked to spill-over to the carbon support. In the case of benzonitrile hydrogenation, a hydrogenolytic step leads to a loss of selectivity to the primary amine to yield toluene with, ultimately, complete selectivity. Co-hydrogenation measurements on mixtures of benzonitrile and benzylamine indicate the presence of site-selective chemistry. Co-hydrogenation studies on mixtures of benzonitrile and benzyl cyanide highlight the competitive nature of the reaction system and, indirectly, establish a contribution from adsorbed imine species.

- Chemoenzymatic one-pot synthesis in an aqueous medium: combination of metal-catalysed allylic alcohol isomerisation-asymmetric bioamination
-
The ruthenium-catalysed isomerisation of allylic alcohols was coupled, for the first time, with asymmetric bioamination in a one-pot process in an aqueous medium. In the cases involving prochiral ketones, the ω-TA exhibited excellent enantioselectivity, identical to that observed in the single step. As a result, amines were obtained from allylic alcohols with high overall yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses.

-
Functional group tolerance is one of the important requirements for chemical reactions, especially for the synthesis of complex molecules. Herein, we report a mild, general, and functional group tolerant intramolecular hydroamination of unactivated olefins using a Co(salen) complex, an N-fluoropyridinium salt, and a disiloxane reagent. This method, which was carried out at room temperature (or 0 °C), afforded three-, five-, six-, and seven-membered ring nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and was compatible with diverse functional groups.

- Highly chemoselective reduction of amides (primary, secondary, tertiary) to alcohols using SmI2/amine/H2O under mild conditions
-
Highly chemoselective direct reduction of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides to alcohols using SmI2/amine/H2O is reported. The reaction proceeds with C-N bond cleavage in the carbinolamine intermediate, shows excellent functional group tolerance, and delivers the alcohol products in very high yields. The expected C-O cleavage products are not formed under the reaction conditions. The observed reactivity is opposite to the electrophilicity of polar carbonyl groups resulting from the nX → πC=O (X = O, N) conjugation. Mechanistic studies suggest that coordination of Sm to the carbonyl and then to Lewis basic nitrogen in the tetrahedral intermediate facilitate electron transfer and control the selectivity of the C-N/C-O cleavage. Notably, the method provides direct access to acyl-type radicals from unactivated amides under mild electron transfer conditions.

The first general reduction of nitriles to primary amines under single electron transfer conditions is demonstrated using SmI2 (Kagan's reagent) activated with Lewis bases. The reaction features excellent functional group tolerance and represents an attractive alternative to the use of pyrophoric alkali metal hydrides. Notably, the electron transfer from Sm(II) to CN functional groups generates imidoyl-type radicals from bench stable nitrile precursors.
