Five N, N-chelate nickel (II) complexes bearing N-(2-pyridinylmethylene)-benzylamine ligands with different substituent groups were synthesized in good yields. The nickel complexes exhibited prominent catalytic efficiency toward amine synthesis from nitro compounds by using NaBH4 or H2 as hydrogen source through two catalytic systems. Various amines with different substituents were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. All substrates with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing properties were tolerated in the two reduction systems. Given the efficient catalytic activity, broad substance scope, and mild reduction conditions, the nickel catalysts have potential applications in industrial production.

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.

An (R)-selective transaminase RbTA with excellent stereoselectivity (>99% ee) in the asymmetric amination of hydroxy ketones was identified. Biochemical characterization showed that RbTA exhibited the highest activity toward 4-hydroxy-2-butanone among reported enzymes, and that it has broad substrate specificity, including for aliphatic, aromatic, and alicyclic ketones. Crystallization of RbTA were performed, as were molecular docking and mutagenesis studies. Residue Tyr125 plays a key role in substrate recognition by forming a hydrogen bond with hydroxy ketone. The applicability of the enzyme was determined in preparative-scale synthesis of (R)-3-amino-1-butanol, demonstrating the potential of RbTA as a green biocatalyst for production of value-added chiral hydroxy amines. This study provides an efficient tool for enzymatic synthesis of chiral hydroxy amines, as well as structural insight into substrate recognition by transaminases in the asymmetric amination of hydroxy ketones.
