Prochiral aminoketones are key intermediates for the synthesis of optically active amino alcohols, and glycerol is one of the main biomass-based alcohols available in industry. In this work, glycerol was catalytically activated and purposefully converted with amines to generate highly valuable prochiral aminoketones, as well as N-formamides and N-methyl amines, over CuNiAlOx catalyst. The catalyst structure can be anticipated as nano-Ni species on or in CuAlOx via the formation of nano- Cu?Ni alloy particles. This concept may present a novel and valuable methodology for glycerol utilization.

The two carbon-centered radicals 4-morpholinomethyl (4) and 4-methylmorpholin-3-yl (5), generated from the primary cation radical intermediate 3 by β-deprotonation, are the major radical species in reaction mixtures of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (1) as de

The reduction of CO2 with amines and H2 generally produces N-formylated or N-methylated compounds over different catalysts. Herein, we report the selective synthesis of formamides, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes, and methylamines, which is achieved over an ionic liquid (IL, e.g., 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [BMIm][BF4])-Pd/C catalytic system. By simply varying the reaction temperature, formamides and methylamines can be selectively produced, respectively, in high yields. Interestingly, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes can also be obtained via the McMurry reaction of the formed formamide coupled with subsequent hydrogenation. It was found that [BMIm][BF4] can react with formamide to form a [BMIm]+-formamide adduct; thus combined with Pd/C it can catalyze McMurry coupling of formamide in the presence of H2 to afford 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethane. Moreover, Pd/C-[BMIm][BF4] can further catalyze the hydrogenolysis of 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethane to access methylamine. [BMIm][BF4]-Pd/C was tolerant to a wide substrate scope, giving the corresponding formamides, 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethanes or methylamines in moderate to high yields. This work develops a new route to produce N-methylamine and opens the way to produce 1,2-bis(N-heterocyclic)ethane from cyclic amine as well.

Bis-NHC stabilized germyliumylidenes [RGe(NHC)2]+ are typically Lewis basic (LB) in nature, owing to their lone pair and coordination of two NHCs to the vacant p-orbitals of the germanium center. However, they can also show Lewis acidity (LA) via Ge?CNHC σ* orbital. Utilizing this unique electronic feature, we report the first example of bis-NHC-stabilized germyliumylidene [MesTerGe(NHC)2]Cl (1), (MesTer=2,6-(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)2C6H3; NHC= IMe4=1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) catalyzed reduction of CO2 with amines and arylsilane, which proceeds via its Lewis basic nature. In contrast, the Lewis acid nature of 1 is utilized in the catalyzed hydroboration and cyanosilylation of carbonyls, thus highlighting the versatile ambiphilic nature of bis-NHC stabilized germyliumylidenes.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A kinetic study on the aqueous cleavage of N-(2-methoxyphenyl)phthalimide (1) and N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-phthalimide (2), under the buffers of N-methylmorpholine, reveals the equilibrium presence of monocationic amide (Ctam) formed due to nucleophilic reactions of N-methylmorpholine with 1 and 2. Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the reactions of water and HO- with Ctam (formed through nucleophilic reaction of N-methylmorpholine with 1) are 4.60 × 10-5 s -1 and 47.9 M-1 s-1, respectively. But the cleavage of Ctam, formed through nucleophilic reaction of N-methylmorpholine with 2, involves intramolecular general base (2′-O- group of Ctam)-assisted water attack at carbonyl carbon of cationic amide group of Ctam in or before the rate-determining step.

Methanol is a potential hydrogen source and C1 synthon, which finds interesting applications in both chemical synthesis and energy technologies. The effective utilization of this simple alcohol in organic synthesis is of central importance and attracts scientific interest. Herein, we report a clean and cost-competitive method with the use of methanol as both C1 synthon and H2 source for selective N-methylation of amines by employing relatively cheap RuCl3.xH2O as a ligand-free catalyst. This readily available catalyst tolerates various amines comprising electron-deficient and electron-donating groups and allows them to transform into corresponding N-methylated products in moderate to excellent yields. In addition, few marketed pharmaceutical agents (e. g., venlafaxine and imipramine) were also successfully synthesized via late-stage functionalization from readily available feedstock chemicals, highlighting synthetic value of this advanced N-methylation reaction. Using this platform, we also attempted tandem reactions with selected nitroarenes to convert them into corresponding N-methylated amines using MeOH under H2-free conditions including transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes-to-anilines and prepared drug molecules (e. g., benzocaine and butamben) as well as key pharmaceutical intermediates. We further enable one-shot selective and green syntheses of 1-methylbenzimidazole using ortho-phenylenediamine (OPDA) and methanol as coupling partners.

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] Alkoxylation of N-substituted heterocyclic aminomethylsilyl moieties was studied using primary and tertiary alcohols. The reaction of 4-(silylmethyl)morpholine and 1-(silylmethyl)azepane under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions leads to the formation of dialkoxy- and trialkoxyaminomethylsilyl derivatives. The methanolysis of 4-(silylmethyl)morpholine resulted in trimethoxyaminomethylsilane formation as the main product and two byproducts, i.e., tetramethoxysilane and N-methylmorpholine.
