- Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Using an Air-Stable Base-Metal Catalyst
-
The reduction of nitroarenes to anilines as well as azobenzenes to hydrazobenzenes using a single base-metal catalyst is reported. The hydrogenation reactions are performed with an air-and moisture-stable manganese catalyst and proceed under relatively mild reaction conditions. The transformation tolerates a broad range of functional groups, affording aniline derivatives and hydrazobenzenes in high yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via a bifunctional activation involving metal-ligand cooperative catalysis.

- A Concise Route to Cyclic Amines from Nitroarenes and Ketoacids under Iron-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation Conditions
-
Starting from nitroarenes, under hydrosilylation conditions, using a well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene iron(0) catalyst, (IMes)Fe(CO)4, the corresponding aniline derivatives were produced in 61–92% isolated yields. More impressively, a selective synthesis of cyclic amines such as pyrrolidines, piperidines and azepanes were conducted from levulinic acid, 1,5- and 1,6-keto acids, respectively. The sequential procedure proceeded under both visible light irradiation and thermal conditions with 20 examples in isolated yields up to 69%. (Figure presented.).

- Efficient hydrogenation catalyst designing via preferential adsorption sites construction towards active copper
-
Based on the experimental and DFT calculation results, here for the first time we built preferential adsorption sites for nitroarenes by modification of the supported Cu catalysts surface with 1,10-phenathroline (1,10-phen), by which the yield of aniline via reduction of nitroarene is enhanced three times. Moreover, a macromolecular layer was in-situ generated on supported Cu catalysts to form a stable macromolecule modified supported Cu catalyst, i.e., CuAlOx-M. By applying the CuAlOx-M, a wide variety of nitroarene substrates react smoothly to afford the desired products in up to > 99% yield with > 99% selectivity. The method tolerates a variety of functional groups, including halides, ketone, amide, and C = C bond moieties. The excellent catalytic performance of the CuAlOx-M can be attributed to that the 1,10-phen modification benefits the preferential adsorption of nitrobenzene and slightly weakens adsorption of aniline on the supported nano-Cu surface.

- Cu-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Nitroarenes with Aryl Boronic Acids to Construct Diarylamines
-
The development and study of a simple copper-catalyzed reaction of nitroarenes with aryl boronic acids to form diarylamines that uses phenyl silane as the stoichiometric terminal reductant is described. This cross-coupling reaction requires as little as 2 mol % of CuX and 4 mol % of diphosphine for success and tolerates a broad range of functional groups on either the nitroarene or the aryl boronic acid to afford the amine in good yield. Mechanistic investigations established that the cross-coupling reaction proceeds via a nitrosoarene intermediate and that copper is required to catalyze both the deoxygenation of the nitroarene to afford the nitrosoarene and C-NAr bond formation of the nitrosoarene with the aryl boronic acid.

- Palladium Supported on Carbon Nanoglobules as a Promising Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes
-
The catalysts 1?wt% palladium supported on carbon nanoglobules (CNGs) were shown to be highly active in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of various nitroarenes and provided nearly 100% selectivity to aromatic amines at complete conversion under mild conditions (323?K, 0.5?MPa, 1?h). The catalytic activity (in terms of turnover frequency and substrate conversion) and selectivity depend on the kind of CNGs support, catalyst preparation method and the reaction conditions (solvent nature). The Pd/CNGs catalyst can be repeatedly used while maintaining the same catalytic performance. The excellent performances of Pd/CNGs catalysts can be due to the globular morphology of the supports as well as the absence of micropores and pronounced surface defects.

- One-Pot Generation of Benzynes from Phenols: Formation of Primary Anilines by the Deoxyamination of Phenols
-
Benzynes were selectively generated in situ from phenols and trapped regioselectively with potassium hexamethyldisilazide to form primary anilines following acidic workup. The direct conversion of a phenolic hydroxyl group into a free amino group is a useful method for the preparation of primary aryl amines that are hard to synthesize by using coupling reactions involving phenol derivatives with ammonia. Whereas reactions of ortho- and meta-substituted phenols produced meta-substituted anilines exclusively, those of para-substituted phenols provided ortho-silylanilines.

- EffectiveN-methylation of nitroarenes with methanol catalyzed by a functionalized NHC-based iridium catalyst: a green approach toN-methyl amines
-
Compound [IrBr(CO)2(κC-tBuImCH2PyCH2OMe)] featuring a flexible pyridine/OMe functionalized NHC ligand κ1C coordinated efficiently catalyzes the selectiveN-monomethylation of nitroarenes using methanol as both the reducing agent and the C1 source. A range of functionalized nitroarenes including heterocyclic or sterically hindered derivatives have been efficiently converted to the correspondingN-monomethyl amines in good yields at low catalyst loadings using sub-stoichiometric amounts of Cs2CO3as a base. Mechanistic investigations support a borrowing-hydrogen mechanism in which methanol acts as the hydrogen source and methylating agent. Further, the hydrogen transfer reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline under optimized reaction conditions should proceed through a direct mechanism involving nitrosobenzene andN-phenylhydroxylamine intermediates.

- Discovery and characterization of an acridine radical photoreductant
-
Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) is a phenomenon whereby the absorption of light by a chemical species provides an energetic driving force for an electron-transfer reaction1–4. This mechanism is relevant in many areas of chemistry, including the study of natural and artificial photosynthesis, photovoltaics and photosensitive materials. In recent years, research in the area of photoredox catalysis has enabled the use of PET for the catalytic generation of both neutral and charged organic free-radical species. These technologies have enabled previously inaccessible chemical transformations and have been widely used in both academic and industrial settings. Such reactions are often catalysed by visible-light-absorbing organic molecules or transition-metal complexes of ruthenium, iridium, chromium or copper5,6. Although various closed-shell organic molecules have been shown to behave as competent electron-transfer catalysts in photoredox reactions, there are only limited reports of PET reactions involving neutral organic radicals as excited-state donors or acceptors. This is unsurprising because the lifetimes of doublet excited states of neutral organic radicals are typically several orders of magnitude shorter than the singlet lifetimes of known transition-metal photoredox catalysts7–11. Here we document the discovery, characterization and reactivity of a neutral acridine radical with a maximum excited-state oxidation potential of ?3.36 volts versus a saturated calomel electrode, which is similarly reducing to elemental lithium, making this radical one of the most potent chemical reductants reported12. Spectroscopic, computational and chemical studies indicate that the formation of a twisted intramolecular charge-transfer species enables the population of higher-energy doublet excited states, leading to the observed potent photoreducing behaviour. We demonstrate that this catalytically generated PET catalyst facilitates several chemical reactions that typically require alkali metal reductants and can be used in other organic transformations that require dissolving metal reductants.

- Synthesis, molecular docking studies, and larvicidal activity evaluation of new fluorinated neonicotinoids against Anopheles darlingi larvae
-
Anopheles darlingi is the main vector of malaria in Brazil, characterized by a high level of anthropophilia and endophagy. Imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and acetamiprid are the most widespread insecticides of the neonicotinoid group. However, they produce adverse effects on the non-target insects. Flupyradifurone has been marketed as an alternative to non-fluorinated neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids containing trifluoroacethyl substituent reveal increased insecticidal activity due to higher hydrophobicity and metabolic stability. We synthesized novel neonicotinoid insecticides containing fluorinated acceptor groups and their interactions were estimated with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) binding site by molecular docking studies, to evaluate their larvicidal activity against A. darlingi, and to assess their outdoor photodegradation behavior. New neonicotinoid analogues were prepared and characterized by NMR and mass-spectrometry. The synthesized molecules were modelled by time-dependent density functional theory and analyzed, their interaction with nAChR was investigated by molecular docking. Their insecticide activity was tested on Anopheles larvae collected in suburban area of Manaus, Brazil. Four new fluorinated neonicotinoid analogs were prepared and tested against 3rd instars larvae of A. darlingi showing high larvicidal activity. Docking studies reveal binding modes of the synthesized compounds and suggest that their insecticidal potency is governed by specific interactions with the receptor binding site and enhanced lipophilicity. 2-Chloro-5-(2-trifluoromethyl-pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)pyridine 5 showed fast degradation in water maintaining high larvicidal activity. All obtained substances possessed high larvicidal activity in low concentrations in 48 hours of exposure, compared to commercial flupyradifurone. Such activity is connected to a unique binding pattern of the synthesized compounds to insect's nAChR and to their enhanced bioavailability owing to introduction of fluorinated amino-moieties. Therefore, the compounds in question have a high potential for application as control agents for insects transmitting tropical diseases, and they will be less persistent in the environment.

- Visible-Light-Driven Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes to Anilines in Water through Graphitic Carbon Nitride Metal-Free Photocatalysis
-
Green and efficient procedures are essential for the chemoselective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes to form industrially important anilines. Herein, it is shown that visible-light-driven, chemoselective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes with groups sensitive to forming anilines can be achieved in good to excellent yields (82–100 %) in water under relatively mild conditions and catalyzed by low-cost and recyclable graphitic carbon nitride. The process is also applicable to gram-scale reaction, with a yield of aniline of 86 %. A study of the mechanism reveals that visible-light-induced electrons are responsible for the hydrogenation reactions, and thermal energy can also promote the photocatalytic activity. A study of the kinetics shows that this reaction possibly occurs through one-step hydrogenation or stepwise condensation routes. A wide range of applications can be expected for this green, efficient, and highly selective photocatalysis system in reduction reactions for the synthesis of fine chemicals.

Significantly higher activity is achieved when compared with corresponding single-component catalysts, optimal composition of the Ni-Co BMNPs was screened which was proved to be crucial in both the selectivity and yields. Excellent performance of Ni-Co BMNPs can be ascribed to the improved dispersion of active sites on the BMNPs surface (compared with Ni NPs) and the electron transfer from cobalt to nickel.

- Chemoselective nitro reduction and hydroamination using a single iron catalyst
-
The reduction and reductive addition (formal hydroamination) of functionalised nitroarenes is reported using a simple and bench-stable iron(iii) catalyst and silane. The reduction is chemoselective for nitro groups over an array of reactive functionalities (ketone, ester, amide, nitrile, sulfonyl and aryl halide). The high activity of this earth-abundant metal catalyst also facilitates a follow-on reaction in the reductive addition of nitroarenes to alkenes, giving efficient formal hydroamination of olefins under mild conditions. Both reactions offer significant improvements in catalytic activity and chemoselectivity and the utility of these catalysts in facilitating two challenging reactions supports an important mechanistic overlap.

- Fe2O3/NGr@C- and Co-Co3O4/NGr@C-catalysed hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild conditions
-
An improved hydrogenation of nitroarenes using nano-structured iron- and cobalt-based catalysts is presented. Modifications of the heterogeneous catalysts by N-doped graphene-flakes are crucial for the success of selective reductions. The use of polar solvents and basic additives has a significant positive influence on the rate of reduction of nitroarenes. This allows performing non-noble metal-catalysed hydrogenations under very mild reaction conditions (e.g. 70 °C and 20 bar). On the basis of the obtained catalytic results a heterolytic mechanism for the hydrogenation process is postulated, too.

- Enhanced chemoselective hydrogenation through tuning the interaction between pt nanoparticles and carbon supports: Insights from identical location transmission electron microscopy and x?ray photoelectron spectroscopy
-
Ultrasmall-sized platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) (~1 nm) supported on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with nitrogen doping and oxygen functional groups were synthesized and applied in the catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes. The advanced identical location transmission electron microscopy (IL-TEM) method was applied to probe the structure evolution of the Pt/CNT catalysts in the reaction. The results indicate that Pt NPs supported on CNTs with a high amount of nitrogen doping (Pt/H-NCNTs) afford 2-fold activity to that of Pt NPs supported on CNTs with oxygen functional groups (Pt/oCNTs) and 4-fold to that of the commercial Pt NPs supported on active carbon (Pt/C) catalyst toward nitrobenzene. The catalytic performance of Pt/H-NCNTs remained constant during four cycles, whereas the activity of the Pt/oCNTs was halved at the second cycle. Compared with Pt/oCNTs, Pt/H-NCNTs exhibited a higher selectivity (>99%) in chemoselective hydrogenation of halonitrobenzenes to haloanilines due to the electron-rich chemical state of Pt NPs. The strong metal?support interaction along with the electron-donor capacity of nitrogen sites on H-NCNTs are capable of stabilizing the Pt NPs and achieving related catalytic recyclability as well as approximately 100% selectivity. The catalyst also delivers exclusively selective hydrogenation toward nitro groups for a wide scope of substituent nitroarenes into their corresponding anilines.

- A Metal and Base-Free Chemoselective Primary Amination of Boronic Acids Using Cyanamidyl/Arylcyanamidyl Radical as Aminating Species: Synthesis and Mechanistic Studies by Density Functional Theory
-
An efficient, metal and base-free, chemoselective synthesis of aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkyl primary amines from the corresponding boronic acids has been achieved at ambient temperature mediated by [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) using cyanamidyl/arylcyanamidyl radicals as the aminating species. The primary amine compounds were initially obtained as their corresponding ammonium trifluoroacetate salts which, on treatment with aq NaOH, provide the free amines. Finally, the primary amines were isolated through column chromatography over silica-gel using hexane-EtOAc solvent system as the eluent. The reactions are sufficiently fast, completing within 1 h. Quantum chemical calculations in combination with experimental observations validate that the ipso amination of substituted boronic acids involves the formation of cyanamidyl/arylcyanamidyl radical, followed by regiospecific interaction of its nitrile-N center with boron atom of the boronic acids, leading to chemoselective primary amination.

- Iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines
-
A simple and general homogeneous catalyst system composed of commercially available [Ir(cod)Cl]2 and 1,10-phenanthroline has been developed for the selective transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines. It utilized the readily accessible 2-propanol as a hydrogen donor and had wide substrate scope. A careful mechanistic investigation through real-time detection and a series of controlled experiments with possible intermediates was also carried out, which showed that the transformation proceeds via both phenylhydroxylamine and azobenzene intermediates and the reduction of hydrazobenzene leading to aniline might be the rate-determining step.

- Metal and base free synthesis of primary amines via ipso amination of organoboronic acids mediated by [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA)
-
A metal and base free synthesis of primary amines has been developed at ambient temperature through ipso amination of diversely functionalized organoboronic acids, employing a combination of [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA)-N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and methoxyamine hydrochloride as the aminating reagent. The amines were primarily obtained as their trifluoroacetate salts which on subsequent aqueous alkaline work up provided the corresponding free amines. The combination of PIFA-NBS is found to be the mildest choice compared to the commonly used strong bases (e.g. n-BuLi, Cs2CO3) for activating the aminating agent. The reaction is expected to proceed via activation of the aminating reagent followed by B-N 1,2-aryl migration.

- Iron-catalysed, general and operationally simple formal hydrogenation using Fe(OTf)3 and NaBH4
-
An operationally simple and environmentally benign formal hydrogenation protocol has been developed using highly abundant iron(iii) salts and an inexpensive, bench stable, stoichiometric reductant, NaBH4, in ethanol, under ambient conditions. This reaction has been applied to the reduction of terminal alkenes (22 examples, up to 95% yield) and nitro-groups (26 examples, up to 95% yield). Deuterium labelling studies indicate that this reaction proceeds via an ionic rather than radical mechanism.

- Synthesis and characterization of copper nanoparticles supported on reduced graphene oxide as a highly active and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of formamides and primary amines
-
We report here the synthesis of reduced graphene oxide supported copper nanoparticles (rGO/Cu NPs) from copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and graphite precursors using a simple protocol. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The rGO/Cu NPs is proved to be a useful heterogeneous catalyst in Cu-catalyzed formamidation and amination of arylboronic acids. The catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration from the reaction mixture and reused several times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

- Mild and highly selective palladium-catalyzed monoarylation of ammonia enabled by the use of bulky biarylphosphine ligands and palladacycle precatalysts
-
A method for the Pd-catalyzed arylation of ammonia with a wide range of aryl and heteroaryl halides, including challenging five-membered heterocyclic substrates, is described. Excellent selectivity for monoarylation of ammonia to primary arylamines was achieved under mild conditions or at rt by the use of bulky biarylphosphine ligands (L6, L7, and L4) as well as their corresponding aminobiphenyl palladacycle precatalysts (3a, 3b, and 3c). As this process requires neither the use of a glovebox nor high pressures of ammonia, it should be widely applicable.

- Rapid reduction of heteroaromatic nitro groups using catalytic transfer hydrogenation with microwave heating
-
A method for the rapid, safe reduction of heteroaromatic and aromatic nitro groups to amines is described using catalytic transfer hydrogenation under microwave heating conditions. Commonly available Pd/C or Pt/C catalyst is extremely effective with 1,4-cyclohexadiene as the hydrogen transfer source. In the case of substrates containing potentially labile aromatic halogens, Pt/C is effective and results in little or no dehalogenation. In general, the reactions are complete within 5 min at 120 °C.

- Synthesis of 1-(R-Phenyl)-5-(R-Methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids by one-pot tandem reaction
-
Substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids were synthesized by a three-component reaction of arylazides, ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate, and either O-or S-nucleophiles in the presence of a base catalyst. The reaction most probably proceeded as a [3+2] cyclocondensation reaction between arylazide and ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate with the further nucleophilic substitution of chlorine in the chloromethyl group. Reaction optimization was performed to carry out the reaction with an O-nucleophile. Conditions were found under which diethyl 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (the product of self-condensation of two molecules of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate with the further oxidation by azide) was obtained.

- CuI/4-hydro-L-proline as a more effective catalytic system for coupling of aryl bromides with N-boc hydrazine and aqueous ammonia
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) CuI/4-hydroxy-L-proline-catalyzed coupling of aryl bromides and N-Boc hydrazine takes place in DMSO at 80°C to give N-aryl hydrazides. When aryl iodides are employed, this reaction completes at 50°C and no ligand is required. Under the catalysis of CuI/4-hydroxy-L- proline, the coupling reaction of aqueous ammonia with aryl bromides proceeds smoothly at 50°C to afford primary arylamines. In this case K 2CO3 is found as a better base than Cs2CO 3. These processes allow assembly of N-aryl hydrazides and primary arylamines that bear a wide range of functional groups including hydroxyl, amine, trifluoromethyl, ester, nitro, and ketone.
