An air-stable N-heterocyclic PSiP pincer iron hydride FeH(PMe3)2(SiPh(NCH2PPh2)2C6H4) (4) was synthesized by Si-H activation of a Ph-substituted [PSiP] pincer ligand. The analogous strong electron-donating iPr-substituted [PSiP] pincer ligand was prepared and introduced into iron complex to give an iron nitrogen complex FeH(N2)(PMe3)(SiPh(NCH2PiPr2)2C6H4) (6). Both 4 and 6 showed similar high efficiency for catalytic dehydration of primary amides to nitriles. Air-stable iron hydride 4 was the best catalyst for its stabilization and convenient preparation. A diverse range of cyano compounds including aromatic and aliphatic species was obtained in moderate to excellent yields. A plausible catalytic reaction mechanism was proposed.

The dehydration reactions from primary amides to nitriles were catalyzed by the [CNC]-pincer hydrido cobalt(III) complexes [(ortho-F4C6–CH[dbnd]N–C10H6)Co(III)(H)(PMe3)2] (1), [(2,5-F2C6H2–CH[dbnd]N–C10H6)Co(III)(H)(PMe3)2] (2) and [(2,4,5-F3C6H–CH[dbnd]N–C10H6)Co(III)(H)(PMe3)2] (3) as catalysts with (EtO)3SiH as an efficient reducing agent. These hydrido cobalt(III) complexes as catalysts are suitable for many substrates and have good functional group tolerance. Among the three cobalt hydrides, complex 2 is the best catalyst. This is the first hydrido cobalt complex-catalyzed dehydration of primary amides to nitriles.

A new transition-metal-free one-pot cascade process for the direct conversion of alcohols to nitriles was developed without introducing an “additional carbon atom”. This protocol allows transformations of readily available, inexpensive, and abundant alcohols to highly valuable nitriles.
