- Enhancing the Catalytic Properties of Ruthenium Nanoparticle-SILP Catalysts by Dilution with Iron
-
The partial replacement of ruthenium by iron ("dilution") provided enhanced catalytic activities and selectivities for bimetallic iron-ruthenium nanoparticles immobilized on a supported ionic liquid phase (FeRuNPs@SILP). An organometallic synthetic approach to the preparation of FeRuNPs@SILP allowed for a controlled and flexible incorporation of Fe into bimetallic FeRu NPs. The hydrogenation of substituted aromatic substrates using bimetallic FeRuNPs@SILP showed high catalytic activities and selectivities for the reduction of a variety of unsaturated moieties without saturation of the aromatic ring. The formation of a bimetallic phase not only leads to an enhanced differentiation of the hydrogenation selectivity, but even reversed the order of functional group hydrogenation in certain cases. In particular, bimetallic FeRuNPs@SILP (Fe:Ru = 25:75) were found to exhibit accelerated reaction rates for C=O hydrogenation within furan-based substrates which were >4 times faster than monometallic RuNPs@SILP. Thus, the controlled incorporation of the non-noble metal into the bimetallic phase provided novel catalytic properties that could not be obtained using either of the monometallic catalysts.

- Bifunctional (cyclopentadienone)iron-tricarbonyl complexes: Synthesis, computational studies and application in reductive amination
-
Reductive amination under hydrogen pressure is a valuable process in organic chemistry to access amine derivatives from aldehydes or ketones. Knoelker's complex has been shown to be an efficient iron catalyst in this reaction. To determine the influence of the substituents on the cyclopentadienone ancillary ligand, a series of modified Knoelker's complexes was synthesised and fully characterised. These complexes were also transformed into their analogous acetonitrile iron-dicarbonyl complexes. Catalytic activities of these complexes were evaluated and compared in a model reaction. The scope of this reaction is also reported. For mechanistic insights, deuterium-labelling experiments and DFT calculations were undertaken and are also presented. Festival of amination: Two series of modified Knoelker's complexes were synthesised and applied in the reductive amination of various carbonyl derivatives with primary or secondary amines (see scheme, TIPS = triisopropylsilyl). For a mechanistic insight, deuterium-labelling experiments and DFT calculations were undertaken and are also presented. Copyright

- A new method for generation of non-stabilized α-amino-substituted carbanions by the reaction of magnesium carbenoids with N-lithio arylamines: their reactivity and a new synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives
-
Magnesium carbenoids were generated from aryl 1-chloroalkyl sulfoxides with i-PrMgCl in THF at low temperature in quantitative yields. The magnesium carbenoids were found to be reactive with N-lithio alkylamines to afford an olefin, which was derived from dimerization of the magnesium carbenoid, in moderate yield. On the other hand, reaction of the magnesium carbenoids with N-substituted N-lithio arylamines gave non-stabilized α-amino-substituted carbanions in good yields. Reactivity of the α-amino-substituted carbanions with some electrophiles was investigated and it was found that ethyl chloroformate reacted to give α-amino acid derivatives in good yields. As a whole, a new method for one-pot, three-component combined synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives from aryl 1-chloroalkyl sulfoxides was realized.

- Intermolecular, Markovnikov Hydroamination of Vinylarenes with Alkylamines
-
A transition metal-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of vinylarenes with alkylamines is reported. The combination of Pd(O2CCF3)4, DPPF, and TfOH was the most effective catalyst of those tested. Control experiments without palladium, acid, or ligand all occurred in low yield. The reaction of various vinylarenes with cyclic and acyclic alkylamines in the presence of 5 mol % of this catalyst formed the corresponding arylethylamine products in moderate to high yields. For example, reactions of morpholine, 4-phenylpiperazine, 4-Boc-piperazine, isoindoline, and tetrahydroisoquinoline with styrene all occurred in 58?75% yield. Acyclic amines such as N-benzylmethylamine and n-hexylmethylamine reacted with 2-vinylnaphthalene in 63% and 53% yields, respectively. Mechanistic investigations showed that the reaction occurred through an η3-arylethyl palladium complex. The reactions of this complex with alkylamines generated product in combination with regenerating free vinylarene, Pd(0), and ammonium salt. Thus, one hurdle to developing hydroamination of vinylarenes with palladium complexes is the faster elimination of free vinylarene from the η3-arylethyl complex than addition to form the C?N bond. The feasibility of conducting enantioselective hydroaminations with alkylamines was also examined. The product from addition of N-benzylmethylamine to 2-vinylnaphthalene was generated in 63% ee and 36% yield in the presence of Pd(OCOCF3)2, a ferrotane ligand, and TfOH cocatalyst. Copyright

- Reusable supported ruthenium catalysts for the alkylation of amines by using primary alcohols
-
Efficient and recyclable ruthenium catalysts were synthesized from readily available polystyrene-or silica-supported phosphine ligands. Catalysts bound to the polymer support through an ether linkage showed good to excellent activity towards the N-alkylation of primary and secondary amines to afford the alkylated products in 62-99 % yield at 120-140°C. The supported phosphine ligand/ruthenium ratio was found to be crucial for higher catalytic activity and lower ruthenium leaching. The continuous flow N-alkylation of amines was demonstrated by using the supported catalyst in a column reactor. By adopting the hydrogen-borrowing strategy, the synthesis of the anti-Parkinson agent Piribedil was established in 98 % yield at 140°C. Support group steals the show: An efficient Ru-based heterogeneous catalyst from readily available supported phosphine ligands is developed. The nature of the linkage and the extent of ruthenium incorporation are crucial in determining the catalytic activity. The catalyst can be recycled and used under continuous flow in a packed-bed reactor. The alkylation of cyclic amines is achieved in excellent yield at moderate temperatures in the absence of any external base.

- Spectroscopic and chemical reactivity manifestations of strong hydrogen bonding: HCNH proton-proton coupling and alkylation reactions of amines
-
Two useful but quite different manifestations of strong hydrogen bonding in systems containing NH groups are reported and discussed.The pKa limit for observation of proton-proton HNCH spin-spin coupling in N-methylanilines is shown to be related to the strength of added H-bond electron donors so that PH3PO, Ph3AsO, and F- in particular are useful reagents for resolving this type of coupling.The mechanism of hydrogen exchange between anilines and water and the role of the added electron donors are discussed.Strong H-bonding between anilines or benzylamines and F- causes pronounced changes in the chemical reactivity of the amine.Results of experiments on the alkylation of these amines using potassium and tetra-n-butylammonium fluorides demonstrate the synthetic utility of this effect.

-
The synthesis and structural characterization of low-coordinate Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes supported by the monoanionic P,N-ligand N-(2-dicyclohexylphosphinophenyl)-2,6-diisopropylanilide are described. A three-coordinate (P,N)Fe-hexamethyldisilazide complex (2), and four-coordinate (P,N)Fe- (3-Fe) and (P,N)Co-alkyl (3-Co) complexes were evaluated as pre-catalysts for the hydrosilylative reduction of amides with PhSiH3 (5 mol % pre-catalyst, 1 equiv. PhSiH3, 80 °C, 1–24 h). The Fe complex 2 proved to be more broadly effective for the reduction of a variety of tertiary amide substrates, and was shown to mediate the reduction of N,N-dibenzylbenzamide at a loading of 1 mol %, to achieve near quantitative formation of tribenzylamine in 1 h (80 °C). Complex 2 also proved effective for the hydrosilylation of tertiary amides under ambient conditions (5 mol % Fe, 24 h), which is a unique example of room temperature amide hydrosilylation mediated by an Fe catalyst without the need for photochemical activation. Given the widespread use of amide reduction protocols in synthesis, the development of efficient Fe-based catalysts that operate under mild conditions is an important target.

- A study on hydrogen-bonded network structure of polybenzoxazines
-
The hydrogen-bonded network structure for polybenzoxazines is investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) with model dimer systems. Comparing the FT-IR spectra of the polybenzoxazines and model dimers, it is shown that the simpler structures of asymmetric dimers well simulate the hydrogen-bonded network structure between polymer chains while the structures of symmetric dimers reflect the hydrogen bonding scheme related to the end-groups of polymer chains. It is confirmed that the amine functional group in the Mannich bridge is greatly responsible for the distribution of hydrogen bonding species. Bisphenol A/methylamine-based polymer (BA-m) mainly consists of -OH...N intramolecular hydrogen bonding while bisphenol A/aniline-based polymer (BA-a) has a large amount of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and relatively weak hydrogen bonding groups in the polymer network structure. The possible network structure, in the sense of hydrogen bonding, for BA-m and BA-a polymers is proposed and a generalized explanation for the structure-property relationships in polybenzoxazines is also discussed.

- Convenient Reductive Methylation of Amines with Carbonates at Room Temperature
-
Methylation of amines is a fundamental and commonly used reaction in organic synthesis. Many methods are known including various reductive methylations using formaldehyde, formic acid, or carbon dioxide in the presence of reductants. However, several of these methods suffer from limited substrate scope and chemoselectivity because of the different nucleophilicities of substrates. In this respect, the combination of carbonates and hydrosilanes is a valuable methylation source in the presence of Pt-based catalysts. This highly tunable method allows for methylation of both aromatic and aliphatic amines, and chemoselective methylation of aminoalcohols and diamines. Notably, the in situ-formed catalyst can also be used for the reduction of carbonates to methanol at room temperature. Mechanistic insights on intermediates formed during the reaction pathway were obtained by using ESI mass spectrometry.

- Nonlinear taft polar free energy relationship: Reactions of N-substituted benzyl amines with benzyl bromide in methanol
-
The rates of reactions of N-substituted benzyl amines with benzyl bromide were measured using a conductivity technique in methanol medium. The reaction followed a total second-order path. The end product of the reaction is identified as dibenzyl alkyl amine (C6H5CH 2N(R)CH2C6H5). The rates increased with a decrease in the electron-donating capacity or with an increase in the Taft σ* value of electron-donating alkyl substituents (R) such as t-butyl (σ* = -0.3), i-propyl (σ* = -0.19), n-butyl (σ* = -0.13), and ethyl (σ* = -0.1) on nitrogen of the amine until the Taft σ* value becomes zero for the methyl group (σ CH 3* = 0.00), and then the rates decreased with an increase in the electron-withdrawing capacity or with an increase in the Taft σ* value of electron-withdrawing substituents (R) such H and C6H 5 (σH* = 0.49 and σC6H5= 0.6). The locus of the Taft polar free energy relationship has a maximum near the point for N-methyl benzyl amine, showing that there is a sharp change in the rate-determining step. A mechanism involving formation of an SN2-type transition state between the amine nucleophiles and the benzyl bromide and its subsequent decomposition is proposed. Activation parameters were calculated and are discussed.

- Biomass-derived N-doped porous carbon: An efficient metal-free catalyst for methylation of amines with CO2
-
Developing green, efficient, and low-cost catalysts for methylation of N-H by using CO2 as the C1 resource is highly desired yet remains a significant challenge. Herein, N-doped porous carbons (NPCs) were designed, synthesized, and proved to be an excellent metal-free catalyst for CO2-participated methylation conversion. NPCs were prepared via the pyrolysis of a mixture of tannic acid and urea. Both theoretical calculation and experiment demonstrate that the N species especially pyridinic N and pyrrolic N within NPCs can work as Lewis basic sites for attacking CO2 to weaken the CO bonds and lower the molecule conversion barrier, facilitating the subsequent methylation of N-H to produce, for example, N,N-dimethylaniline. Besides, the unique porous structure can enrich CO2 and accelerate mass transfer, synergistically promoting the conversion of CO2. The optimized NPC(1/5) catalyst, integrating the porous structure and strong Lewis basicity, exhibits excellent catalytic activity for CO2-based methylation reaction under mild conditions (1 bar CO2, 75 °C). Our work, for the first time, demonstrates the feasibility of using NPCs to catalyze the methylation of amino compounds to produce N,N-dimethylamine by exploiting CO2 as the C1 resource.

A wide range of primary and secondary amines and diversely substituted aldehydes are compatible with this transformation, allowing facile access to various secondary and tertiary amines in high yields with wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, the method is convenient for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds and preparation of commercialized drug molecules and biologically relevant N-heterocycles. The procedure has the advantages of simple operation and workup and easy scale-up, and does not require dry conditions, an inert atmosphere or a water scavenger. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of imine activation by BF3and hydride transfer from formic acid.

- Simplified preparation of a graphene-co-shelled Ni/NiO@C nano-catalyst and its application in theN-dimethylation synthesis of amines under mild conditions
-
The development of Earth-abundant, reusable and non-toxic heterogeneous catalysts to be applied in the pharmaceutical industry for bio-active relevant compound synthesis remains an important goal of general chemical research.N-methylated compounds, as one of the most essential bioactive compounds, have been widely used in the fine and bulk chemical industries for the production of high-value chemicals. Herein, an environmentally friendly and simplified method for the preparation of graphene encapsulated Ni/NiO nanoalloy catalysts (Ni/NiO@C) was developed for the first time, for the highly selective synthesis ofN-methylated compounds using various functional amines and aldehydes under easy to handle, and industrially applicable conditions. A large number of primary and secondary amines (more than 70 examples) could be converted to the correspondingN,N-dimethylamines with the participation of different functional aldehydes, with an average yield of over 95%. A gram-scale synthesis also demonstrated a similar yield when compared with the benchmark test. In addition, it was further proved that the catalyst could easily be recycled because of its intrinsic magnetism and reused up to 10 times without losing its activity and selectivity. Also, for the first time, the tandem synthesis ofN,N-dimethylamine products in a one-pot process, using only a single earth-abundant metal catalyst, whose activity and selectivity were more than 99% and 94%, respectively, for all tested substrates, was developed. Overall, the advantages of this newly developed method include operational simplicity, high stability, easy recyclability, cost-effectiveness of the catalyst, and good functional group compatibility for the synthesis ofN-methylation products as well as the industrially applicable tandem synthesis process.

-
Homoleptic lanthanide complex Y[N(TMS)2]3 is an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the hydroboration reduction of secondary amides and tertiary amides to corresponding amines. A series of amides containing different functional groups such as cyano, nitro, and vinyl groups were found to be well-tolerated. This transformation has also been nicely applied to the synthesis of indoles and piribedil. Detailed isotopic labeling experiments, control experiments, and kinetic studies provided cumulative evidence to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

- High-Throughput Screening of Reductive Amination Reactions Using Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
-
This study describes the latest generation of a high-throughput screening system that is capable of screening thousands of organic reactions in a single day. This system combines a liquid handling robot with desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry (MS) for a rapid reaction mixture preparation, accelerated synthesis, and automated MS analysis. A total of 3840 unique reductive amination reactions were screened to demonstrate the throughputs that are capable with the system. Products, byproducts, and intermediates were all monitored in full-scan mass spectra, generating a complete view of the reaction progress. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments were conducted to verify the identity of the products formed. The amine and electrophile reactivity trends represented in the data match what is expected from theory, indicating that the system accurately models the reaction performance. The DESI results correlated well with those generated using more traditional mass spectrometry techniques like liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, validating the data generated by the system.

We demonstrate the first metal-organic framework (MOF) that catalyzes N-methylation of amines using 1 atm CO2 and phenylsilane under ambient conditions. Compared with its homogeneous analog, the incorporation of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) into the MOF provides more efficient catalysis with improved reaction kinetics, turnover numbers and recyclability. Moreover, the metalated NHC functionalized MOF achieves direct N-methylation of amines bearing carboxylate moieties, which are common building blocks in pharmaceutical chemistry.

- Selective formylation or methylation of amines using carbon dioxide catalysed by a rhodium perimidine-based NHC complex
-
Carbon dioxide can play a vital role as a sustainable feedstock for chemical synthesis. To be viable, the employed protocol should be as mild as possible. Herein we report a methodology to incorporate CO2 into primary, secondary, aromatic or alkyl amines catalysed by a Rh(i) complex bearing a perimidine-based NHC/phosphine pincer ligand. The periminide-based ligand belongs to a class of 6-membered NHC ligand accessed through chelate-assisted double C-H activation. N-Formylation and -methylation of amines were performed using a balloon of CO2, and phenylsilane as the reducing agent. Product selectivity between formylated and methylated products was tuned by changing the solvent, reaction temperature and the quantity of phenylsilane used. Medium to excellent conversions, as well as tolerance to a range of functional groups, were achieved. Stoichiometric reactions with reactants employed in catalysis and time course studies suggested that formylation and methylation reactions of interest begin with hydrosilylation of CO2 followed by reaction with amine substrates.

Selective hydrogenation/reductive amination of nitriles to secondary amines catalyzed by an inexpensive and user-friendly cobalt complex, (Xantphos)CoCl2, is reported. The use of (Xantphos)CoCl2 and ammonia borane (NH3?BH3) combination affords the selective reduction of nitriles to symmetrical secondary amines, whereas the employment of (Xantphos)CoCl2 and dimethylamine borane (Me2NH?BH3) along with external amines produce unsymmetrical secondary amines and tertiary amines. The general applicability of this methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of 43 symmetrical and unsymmetrical secondary and tertiary amines bearing diverse functionalities. (Figure presented.).

- Phosphine-Free Well-Defined Mn(I) Complex-Catalyzed Synthesis of Amine, Imine, and 2,3-Dihydro-1 H-perimidine via Hydrogen Autotransfer or Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Amine and Alcohol
-
The application of nontoxic, earth-abundant transition metals in place of costly noble metals is a paramount goal in catalysis and is especially interesting if the air- and moisture-stable ligand scaffold is used. Herein, we report the synthesis of amines/imines directly from alcohol and amines via hydrogen autotransfer or acceptorless dehydrogenation catalyzed by well-defined phosphine-free Mn complexes. Both imines and amines can be obtained from the same set of alcohols and amines using the same catalyst, only by tuning the reaction conditions. The amount and nature of the base are found to be a highly important aspect for the observed selectivity. Both the primary and secondary amines have been employed as substrates for the N-alkylation reaction. As a highlight, we showed the chemoselective synthesis of resveratrol derivatives. Furthermore, the Mn-catalyzed dehydrogenative synthesis of structurally important 2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidines has also been demonstrated. Density functional theory calculations were also carried out to model the reaction path and to calculate the reaction profile.

The reaction has been applied to the direct synthesis of imines, tertiary amines and quinolines where only hydrogen gas and/or water are formed as the by-product(s). The mechanism is believed to involve the formation of a manganese(III) alkoxide complex which degrades into the aldehyde and a manganese(III) hydride species. The latter reacts with the alcohol to form hydrogen gas and thereby regenerates the alkoxide complex.

The N-methylation of amines with CO2 and H2 is an important step in the synthesis of bioactive compounds and chemical intermediates. The first heterogeneous Au catalyst is reported for this methylation reaction with good to excellent yields. The average turnover frequency (TOF) based on surface Au atoms is 45 h-1, which is the highest TOF value ever reported for the methylation of aniline with CO2 and H2. Furthermore, the catalyst is tolerant toward a variety of amines, which includes aromatic, aliphatic, secondary, and primary amines. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the N-alkyl formamide might be an intermediate in the N-methylation of amine process. Moreover, through a one-pot process, it is possible to convert primary amines, aldehydes, and CO2 into unsymmetrical tertiary amines with H2 as a reductant in the presence of the Au catalyst.
