- Integrated Electro-Biocatalysis for Amine Alkylation with Alcohols
-
The integration of electro and bio-catalysis offers new ways of making molecules under very mild, environmentally benign conditions. We show that TEMPO mediated electro-catalytic oxidation of alcohols can be adapted to work in aqueous buffers, with minimal organic co-solvent, enabling integration with biocatalytic reductive amination using the AdRedAm enzyme. The combined process offers a new approach to amine alkylation with native alcohols, a key bond formation in the chemical economy that is currently achieved via precious metal-catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing technologies. The electrobio transformation is effective for primary and secondary alcohols undergoing coupling with allyl, propargyl, benzyl, and cyclopropyl amines, and has been adapted for use with solid-supported AdRedAm for ease of operation.

- A general approach to mono- and bimetallic organometallic nanoparticles
-
A comprehensive methodology to prepare nanometric size organometallic particles (ONPs) containing rhodium(i), iridium(i) and nickel(0) with ROMP-derived polycycloocta-1,5-diene (pCOD) by a controlled single chain collapse mechanism was developed. The polymeric complexes could be produced via direct exchange of the respective labile ligands of metal complexes by the 1,5-hexadiene elements in pCOD, or via in situ reduction of metal ions in the presence of the polymer. These well-defined π-bound polymeric complexes were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) measurements and the resulting polymer sizes were found to be inversely proportional to the amount of metal added due to concomitant single chain collapse. Moreover, these procedures were readily extended to the synthesis of organobimetallic nanoparticles containing two metals; which could be added in commutative order and specific metal ratios. The embedded metal elements were found to be readily accessible for applications in catalysis, where the close proximity of the catalytic centers led to distinctive reactivity compared to the isolated complexes.

- One-pot reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with α-picoline-borane in methanol, in water, and in neat conditions
-
A one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with amines using α-picoline-borane as a reducing agent is described. The reaction has been carried out in MeOH, in H2O, and in neat conditions in the presence of small amounts of AcOH. This is a highly efficient and mild procedure that is applicable for a wide variety of substrates. In particular, this is the first successful demonstration that this type of reaction can be carried out in water and in neat conditions.

- Highly economical and direct amination of sp3carbon using low-cost nickel pincer catalyst
-
Developing more efficient routes to achieve C-N bond coupling is of great importance to industries ranging from products in pharmaceuticals and fertilizers to biomedical technologies and next-generation electroactive materials. Over the past decade, improvements in catalyst design have moved synthesis away from expensive metals to newer inexpensive C-N cross-coupling approaches via direct amine alkylation. For the first time, we report the use of an amide-based nickel pincer catalyst (1) for direct alkylation of amines via activation of sp3 C-H bonds. The reaction was accomplished using a 0.2 mol% catalyst and no additional activating agents other than the base. Upon optimization, it was determined that the ideal reaction conditions involved solvent dimethyl sulfoxide at 110 °C for 3 h. The catalyst demonstrated excellent reactivity in the formation of various imines, intramolecularly cyclized amines, and substituted amines with a turnover number (TON) as high as 183. Depending on the base used for the reaction and the starting amines, the catalyst demonstrated high selectivity towards the product formation. The exploration into the mechanism and kinetics of the reaction pathway suggested the C-H activation as the rate-limiting step, with the reaction second-order overall, holding first-order behavior towards the catalyst and toluene substrate.

A novel and highly efficient heterogeneous catalytic reductive amination of aldehydes is described. The recently developed graphene supported NiPd alloy nanoparticle (G-NiPd) catalyst using ammonia borane (AB) as a green, stable and safe hydrogen donor was used in a water/methanol mixture (v/v = 2/3) under ambient conditions. The catalytic system was successfully applied in the reductive amination of various substituted aldehydes with amines and the corresponding products were obtained in (up to) 99% yield in 6 h. The G-NiPd catalyst could be recycled up to five times without any significant loss in the product yield.

- Triazolylidene-Iridium Complexes with a Pendant Pyridyl Group for Cooperative Metal–Ligand Induced Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Amines
-
Two iridium(III) complexes containing a C,N-bidentate pyridyl-triazolylidene ligand were prepared that are structurally very similar but differ in their pendant substituent. Whereas complex 1 contains a non-coordinating pyridyl unit, complex 2 has a phenyl group on the triazolylidene substituent. The presence of the basic pyridyl unit has distinct effects on the catalytic activity of the complex in the oxidative dehydrogenation of benzylic amines, inducing generally higher rates, higher selectivity towards formation of imines versus secondary amines, and notable quantities of tertiary amines when compared to the phenyl-functionalized analogue. The role of the pyridyl functionality has been elucidated from a set of stoichiometric experiments, which demonstrate hydrogen bonding between the pendant pyridyl unit and the amine protons of the substrate. Such Npyr???H?N interactions are demonstrated by X-ray diffraction analysis, 1H NMR, and IR spectroscopy, and suggest a pathway of substrate bond-activation that involves concerted substrate binding through the Lewis acidic iridium center and the Lewis basic pyridyl site appended to the triazolylidene ligand, in agreement with ligand–metal cooperative substrate activation.

- Iridium versus Iridium: Nanocluster and Monometallic Catalysts Carrying the Same Ligand Behave Differently
-
A specific secondary phosphine oxide (SPO) ligand (tert-butyl(phenyl)phosphine oxide) was employed to generate two iridium catalysts, an Ir–SPO complex and IrNPs (iridium nanoparticles) ligated with SPO ligands, which were compared mutually and with several supported iridium catalysts with the aim to establish the differences in their catalytic properties. The Ir–SPO-based catalysts showed totally different activities and selectivities in the hydrogenation of various substituted aldehydes, in which H2is likely cleaved by a metal–ligand cooperation, that is, the SPO ligand and a neighboring metal centre operate in tandem to activate the hydrogen molecule. In addition, the supported IrNPs behave very differently from both Ir–SPO catalysts. This study exemplifies perfectly the advantages and disadvantages related to the use of the main types of catalysts, and thus the dissimilarities between them.

An unprecedented photocatalytic system consisting of benzimidazolium aryloxide betaines (BI+-ArO-) and stoichiometric hydride reducing reagents was developed for carrying out desulfonylation reactions of N-sulfonyl-indoles,-amides, and-amines, and α-sulfonyl ketones. Measurements of absorption spectra and cyclic voltammograms as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to gain mechanistic information. In the catalytic system, visible-light-activated benzimidazoline aryloxides (BIH-ArO-), generated in situ by hydride reduction of the corresponding betaines BI+-ArO-, donate both an electron and a hydrogen atom to the substrates. A modified protocol was also developed so that a catalytic quantity of more easily prepared hydroxyaryl benzimidazolines (BIH-ArOH) is used along with a stoichiometric hydride donor to promote the photochemical desulfonylation reactions.

- Oxidative deamination of benzylamine by electrogenerated quinonoid systems as mimics of amine oxidoreductases cofactors
-
The reactions of a new type of quinonoid system with benzylamine have been investigated in methanol in order to mimic the reactions occurring in the course of the enzymatic oxidation of amines by quinone cofactors. Under strictly anaerobic conditions, unstable quinonoid species 1OX-4OX have been selectively electrogenerated using anodic-controlled potential electrolysis. Thus, we have demonstrated that 3,4-quinone 1OX is incapable of deaminating benzylamine, while 3,4-iminoquinone species 3OX and 4OX act as efficient catalysts for the autorecycling oxidation of benzylamine: the reaction efficiency reached 64 turnovers. Additional mechanistic investigations reveal that the oxidation of benzylamine by our quinonoid model cofactors proceeds unambiguously via a transamination mechanism, as suggested for many enzymatic systems.

- Iron-catalyzed Cα-H oxidation of tertiary, aliphatic amines to amides under mild conditions
-
De novo syntheses of amides often generate stoichiometric amounts of waste. Thus, recent progress in the field has focused on precious metal catalyzed, oxidative protocols to generate such functionalities. However, simple tertiary alkyl amines cannot be used as starting materials in these protocols. The research described herein enables the oxidative synthesis of amides from simple, noncyclic tertiary alkyl amines under synthetically useful, mild conditions through a biologically inspired approach: Fe-catalyzed Cα-H functionalization. Mechanistic investigations provide insight into reaction intermediates and allow the development of a mild Cα-H cyanation method using the same catalyst system. The protocol was further applied to oxidize the drug Lidocaine, demonstrating the potential utility of the developed chemistry for metabolite synthesis. Let′s iron it out! The title reaction enables the oxidative synthesis of amides directly from tertiary, noncyclic alkyl amines under synthetically useful, mild conditions through a biologically inspired approach employing oxidative iron catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that hemiaminals are likely intermediates in this reaction and that the catalytic system can be employed for other Cα-H oxidations of amines.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Hydrophosphonylation and Hydrogenation of Aromatic Nitriles Assisted by Lewis Acid
-
In this paper, we describe the catalytic hydrophosphonylation of several aromatic nitriles used to synthesize α-aminophosphonates (α-APs) using commercially available trialkyl phosphites (P(OR)3, R=Et, iPr, Bu,) and simple and inexpensive nickel chloride (NiCl2.6H2O) as the catalytic precursor. The use of triethylborane (Et3B) as a Lewis acid (LA) was mandatory in order to successfully perform H-phosphite moiety incorporation at the CN bond of non-activated benzonitriles (BN) derivatives. Interestingly, when a highly activated BN such as 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzonitrile (BN-g) was employed, it was possible to perform the reaction in the absence of an LA using milder reaction conditions. Also, we found that using HP(O)(OiPr)2 as a starting material afforded the aminobisphosphonate derivative with better selectivity than using the method involving P(OiPr)3 as the initial reagent. Remarkably, when using HP(O)(OiPr)2 with an excess of Et3B, the reaction's selectivity completely changed to yield N-benzyl- benzylimine (BBI) and 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole.

Silver nanoparticles supported on alumina were prepared and tested in the catalytic reduction of various imines to primary and secondary amines and were shown to be exceptionally active and chemoselective. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of the prepared nanocatalyst was also tested in the synthesis of secondary amines from primary amines in a tandem reaction protocol (oxidation-imination-reduction) using air and molecular hydrogen as oxidizing and reducing agents, respectively. The reported synthesis is performed under mild reaction conditions, which complies with the demands of modern organic synthesis. Due to the mild reaction conditions and high conversion as well as high selectivity, we consider that the utilization of silver nanoparticles supported on alumina represents an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to the current synthesis of N-alkyl amines.

A comparative study of the performance of (PN)M(N(SiMe3)2) (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) pre-catalysts supported by N-phosphinoamidinate ligation, as well as M(N(SiMe3)2)n (M = Li, Na, K, Mn, Fe, and Co) pre-catalysts, in the hydrosilative reduction of selected tertiary amide test substrates using PhSiH3 is reported. Encouraged by the performance observed herein for (PN)Ni(N(SiMe3)2) in the reduction of both N,N-dibenzylbenzamide and N,N-diisopropylbenzamide, further competitive testing involving the known complex (PN)Ni(NHdipp) (dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), as well as the new and crystallographically characterized mononuclear complexes (PN)Ni(OR) (R = 2,6-dimethylphenyl or tBu), revealed (PN)Ni(OtBu) to be particularly effective in such reduction chemistry, including transformations involving the secondary amides N-benzylbenzamide and caprolactam.

- Visible Light and Hydroxynaphthylbenzimidazoline Promoted Transition-Metal-Catalyst-Free Desulfonylation of N-Sulfonylamides and N-Sulfonylamines
-
A visible light promoted process for desulfonylation of N-sulfonylamides and -amines has been developed, in which 1,3-dimethyl-2-hydroxynaphthylbenzimidazoline (HONap-BIH) serves as a light absorbing, electron and hydrogen atom donor, and a household white light-emitting diode serves as a light source. The process transforms various N-sulfonylamide and -amine substrates to desulfonylated products in moderate to excellent yields. The observation that the fluorescence of 1-methyl-2-naphthoxy anion is efficiently quenched by the substrates suggests that the mechanism for the photoinduced desulfonylation reaction begins with photoexcitation of the naphthoxide chromophore in HONap-BIH, which generates an excited species via intramolecular proton transfer between the HONap and BIH moieties. This process triggers single electron transfer to the substrate, which promotes loss of the sulfonyl group to form the free amide or amine. The results of studies employing radical probe substrates as well as DFT calculations suggest that selective nitrogen-sulfur bond cleavage of the substrate radical anion generates either a pair of an amide or amine anion and a sulfonyl radical or that of an amidyl or aminyl radical and sulfinate anion, depending on the nature of the N-substituent on the substrate. An intermolecular version of this protocol, in which 1-methyl-2-naphthol and 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoline are used concomitantly, was also examined.

-
Tandem iron/zinc or iron/indium-catalysed reductions of various primary amides to amines under hydrosilylation conditions are reported under visible light activation. By a simple modification of the nature of the co-catalyst (Zn(OTf)2 vs In(OTf)3), Fe(CO)4(IMes) can promote the highly chemoselective reduction of primary amides into primary amines (21 examples, up to 93 % isolated yields) and secondary amines (8 examples, up to 51 % isolated yields), respectively. Notably, both benzamide and alkanamide derivatives can be reduced.

- Synthesis of an Fe-Pd bimetallic catalyst for: N -alkylation of amines with alcohols via a hydrogen auto-transfer methodology
-
Hydrogen auto-transfer (HAT) or borrowing hydrogen (BH) methodology which combines dehydrogenation, intermediate reaction and hydrogenation, is recognized as an excellent strategy for one-pot synthesis from an economic and environmental point of view. Although much effort has been made on the development of catalysts for HAT reactions, harsh conditions, external base or large amounts of noble metals are still required in most reported catalysis systems, and thus the exploration of a highly efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst remains meaningful. In this work, a novel bimetallic catalyst, Fe10Pd1/NC500 derived from bimetallic MOF NH2-MIL-101(Fe10Pd1), has been prepared, and the catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance for the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via a hydrogen auto-transfer methodology. High yields of the desired products were achieved at 120 °C with an alcohol/amine molar ratio of 2?:?1 and required no external additive or solvent. A distinct enhancement in catalytic performance is observed when compared with monometallic catalysts, which can be ascribed to the "synergistic effects"inside the bimetallic alloys. The N-doped carbon support has been revealed to provide the necessary basicity which avoids the requirement of an external base. Moreover, a wide substrate range and remarkable reusability have been shown by Fe10Pd1/NC500, and this work highlights new possibilities for bimetallic catalysts applied in sustainable chemistry.

A bimetallic catalyst (Ni/Cu-MCM-41) is prepared via co-condensation method. The latter is characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis. Catalytic performance of Ni/Cu-MCM-41 is probed in N-alkylation of amines with alcohols through a hydrogen autotransfer process. Noteworthy, this catalytic system appears very efficient for synthesis of a range of secondary and tertiary amines in good to excellent isolated yields. Moreover, the catalyst is successfully recovered and reused four times without notable decrease in its activity.

- Ruthenium(ii) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine ligands for theN-alkylation of amines with alcohols
-
Metal hydride complexes are key intermediates forN-alkylation of amines with alcohols by the borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer (BH/HA) strategy. Reactivity tuning of metal hydride complexes could adjust the dehydrogenation of alcohols and the hydrogenation of imines. Herein we report ruthenium(ii) complexes with hetero-bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-phosphine ligands, which realize smart pathway selection in theN-alkylated reactionviareactivity tuning of [Ru-H] species by hetero-bidentate ligands. In particular, complex6cbwith a phenyl wingtip group and BArF?counter anion, is shown to be one of the most efficient pre-catalysts for this transformation (temperature is as low as 70 °C, neat conditions and catalyst loading is as low as 0.25 mol%). A large variety of (hetero)aromatic amines and primary alcohols were efficiently converted into mono-N-alkylated amines in good to excellent isolated yields. Notably, aliphatic amines, challenging methanol and diamines could also be transformed into the desired products. Detailed control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide insights to understand the mechanism and the smart pathway selectionvia[Ru-H] species in this process.

- Aluminum Metal-Organic Framework-Ligated Single-Site Nickel(II)-Hydride for Heterogeneous Chemoselective Catalysis
-
The development of chemoselective and heterogeneous earth-abundant metal catalysts is essential for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis. We report a highly efficient, chemoselective, and reusable single-site nickel(II) hydride catalyst based on robust and porous aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (DUT-5) for hydrogenation of nitro and nitrile compounds to the corresponding amines and hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers under mild conditions. The nickel-hydride catalyst was prepared by the metalation of aluminum hydroxide secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 having the formula of Al(μ2-OH)(bpdc) (bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate) with NiBr2 followed by a reaction with NaEt3BH. DUT-5-NiH has a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance in the hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitro and nitrile compounds under 1 bar H2 and could be recycled and reused at least 10 times. By changing the reaction conditions of the hydrogenation of nitriles, symmetric or unsymmetric secondary amines were also afforded selectively. The experimental and computational studies suggested reversible nitrile coordination to nickel followed by 1,2-insertion of coordinated nitrile into the nickel-hydride bond occurring in the turnover-limiting step. In addition, DUT-5-NiH is also an active catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenolysis of carbon-oxygen bonds in aryl ethers to afford hydrocarbons under atmospheric hydrogen in the absence of any base, which is important for the generation of fuels from biomass. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based single-site earth-abundant metal catalysts for practical and eco-friendly production of chemical feedstocks and biofuels.

- Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of nitriles to secondary amines with nickel(II) catalysts
-
Herein we report the selective transfer hydrogenation (TH) of nitriles to secondary (2°) amines with simple Ni(II)-catalysts using ammonia borane (AB) as a source of hydrogen (H2). A bis(pyrazolylmethyl)pyridine (L1) or ethylenediamine (L4) ligated Ni(II) pre-catalyst, created in situ, could hydrogenate several aromatic- and aliphatic nitriles in full conversions and isolated yields of up to 88% under ambient temperature and in very short reaction times. Deuterium labelling experiments illustrated the incorporation of a proton on the nitrogen and hydride on the α-carbon of dibenzylamine. Using α-picoline borane, containing no dissociable protons, assisted with the postulation of a two-step TH mechanism of benzonitrile. AB was subjected to dehydrogenation and it was observed that a maximum of 2.96 equivalents of H2 gas could be generated from NiCl2?6H2O/L1.

- Phosphine-Free Manganese Catalyst Enables Selective Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitriles to Primary and Secondary Amines Using Ammonia-Borane
-
Herein we report the synthesis of primary and secondary amines by nitrile hydrogenation, employing a borrowing hydrogenation strategy. A class of phosphine-free manganese(I) complexes bearing sulfur side arms catalyzed the reaction under mild reaction conditions, where ammonia-borane is used as the source of hydrogen. The synthetic protocol is chemodivergent, as the final product is either primary or secondary amine, which can be controlled by changing the catalyst structure and the polarity of the reaction medium. The significant advantage of this method is that the protocol operates without externally added base or other additives as well as obviates the use of high-pressure dihydrogen gas required for other nitrile hydrogenation reactions. Utilizing this method, a wide variety of primary and symmetric and asymmetric secondary amines were synthesized in high yields. A mechanistic study involving kinetic experiments and high-level DFT computations revealed that both outer-sphere dehydrogenation and inner-sphere hydrogenation were predominantly operative in the catalytic cycle.

- Synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial activity of dibenzildithiocarbamate derivates and Ni(II)–Cu(II) coordination compounds
-
In this work, the study of the synthesis methodology to obtain dibenzylamine derivates as intermediates for the formation of dithicarbamate ligands (DTC) and its coordination compounds was conducted. Four molecules derived from dibenzylamine were synthesized by two methodologies: classical (reflux) and microwave. From these amines, Four dithiocarbamate ligands (DTC): dibenzyldithiocarbamate, N-benzyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)dithiocarbamate, N-benzyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)dithiocarbamate, and N-benzyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)dithiocarbamate, and eight coordination complexes with general formula [M(DTC)2]nH2O (M= Cu(II) and Ni(II)) were obtained. All the compounds were characterized using different spectroscopic and thermal techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS), proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C NMR), thermogravimetric analysis–differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC). Additionally, it was possible to characterize two new crystalline phases of salts through single-crystal X-ray diffraction: dibenzyl ammonium nitrate and N-benzyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ammonium chloride. Additionally, microbial inhibition tests were conducted using the dibenzildithiocarbamate derivates. All DTC compounds showed important activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus but less sensitivity against Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Among the coordination compounds, only [Cu(N-benzyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)dithiocarbamate)2] presented a moderate activity against M. smegmatis mc2 155.

Second, the in situ generated imidoyl chlorides are hydrogenated in high yields by an FLP-catalyst. Mechanistic and quantum mechanical calculations support an autoinduced catalytic cycle for the hydrogenation with chloride acting as unusual Lewis base for FLP-mediated H2-activation.

Reaction of L3H (L3H = (2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol)) with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in the presence of excess triethylanmine gave the dual ligands coordinated nickel complex [(L2)2Ni] (3). Complexes 1-3 were well characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. All the three Ni(II) complexes exhibited efficient activity and good selectivity in the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to produce imines and diimines. The present protocol provides an atom-economical and sustainable route for the synthesis of various imine derivatives by employing an earth-abundant nickel salt and easily prepared salicylaldiminato ligands.

- Unified Approach to Benzo[ d]thiazol-2-yl-Sulfonamides

In this paper, we report a unified approach to N-substituted and N,N-disubstituted benzothiazole (BT) sulfonamides. Our approach to BT-sulfonamides starts from simple commercially available building blocks (benzo[d]thiazole-2-thiol and primary and secondary amines) that are connected via (a) a S oxidation/S-N coupling approach, (b) a S-N coupling/S-oxidation sequence, or via (c) a S-oxidation/S-F bond formation/SuFEx approach. The labile N-H bond in N-monoalkylated BT-sulfonamides (pKa (BTSO2N(H)Bn) = 3.34 ± 0.05) further allowed us to develop a simple weak base-promoted N-alkylation method and a stereoselective microwave-promoted Fukuyama-Mitsunobu reaction. N-Alkyl-N-aryl BT-sulfonamides were accessed with the help of the Chan-Lam coupling reaction. Developed methods were further used in stereo and chemoselective transformations of podophyllotoxin and several amino alcohols.

- Covalent Organic Frameworks toward Diverse Photocatalytic Aerobic Oxidations

Photoactive two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D-COFs) have become promising heterogenous photocatalysts in visible-light-driven organic transformations. Herein, a visible-light-driven selective aerobic oxidation of various small organic molecules by using 2D-COFs as the photocatalyst was developed. In this protocol, due to the remarkable photocatalytic capability of hydrazone-based 2D-COF-1 on molecular oxygen activation, a wide range of amides, quinolones, heterocyclic compounds, and sulfoxides were obtained with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance under very mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, benefiting from the inherent advantage of heterogenous photocatalysis, prominent sustainability and easy photocatalyst recyclability, a drug molecule (modafinil) and an oxidized mustard gas simulant (2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide) were selectively and easily obtained in scale-up reactions. Mechanistic investigations were conducted using radical quenching experiments and in situ ESR spectroscopy, all corroborating the proposed role of 2D-COF-1 in photocatalytic cycle.

- Surface modification boosts exciton extraction in confined layered structure for selective oxidation reaction
-
Extracting photogenerated species from bulk to surface is an essential process for gaining efficient semiconductor-based photocatalysis. However, compared with charged photogenerated carriers, neutral exciton exhibits negligible response to electric field. Accordingly, traditional strategies involving band-alignment construction for boosting directional transfer of charge carriers are impracticable for extracting bulk excitons. To this issue, we here propose that the extraction of bulk exciton could be effectively implemented by surface modification. By taking confined layered bismuth oxycarbonate (Bi2O2CO3) as an example, we highlight that the incorporation of iodine atoms on the surface could modify the micro-region electronic structure and hence lead to reduced energy of surface excitonic states. Benefiting from the energy gradient between bulk and surface excitonic states, iodine-modified Bi2O2CO3 possesses high-efficiency bulk exciton extraction, and hence exhibits promoted performance in triggering 1O2-mediated selective oxidation reaction. This work presents the positive role of surface modification in regulating excitonic processes of semiconductor-based photocatalysts. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Continuous flow heterogeneous catalytic reductive aminations under aqueous micellar conditions enabled by an oscillatory plug flow reactor
-
Despite the fact that continuous flow processing exhibits well-established technical advances, aqueous micellar chemistry, a field that has proven extremely useful in shifting organic synthesis to sustainable water-based media, has mostly been explored under conventional batch-based conditions. This is particularly because of the fact that the reliable handling of slurries and suspensions in flow has been considered as a significant technical challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that the strategic application of an oscillatory plug flow reactor enables heterogeneous catalytic reductive aminations in aqueous micellar media enhancing mass transport and facilitating process simplicity, stability and scalability. The micellar flow process enabled a broad range of substrates, including amino acid derivatives, to be successfully transformed under reasonably mild conditions utilizing only very low amounts of Pd/C as a readily available heterogeneous catalyst. The preparative capabilities of the process along with the recyclability of the heterogenous catalyst and the aqueous reaction media were also demonstrated. This journal is

-
A versatile metal- and base-free direct reductive amination of aldehydes with amines using formic acid as a reductant under the catalysis of inexpensive BF3·Et2O has been developed. 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.

- Exploiting Continuous Processing for Challenging Diazo Transfer and Telescoped Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transformations
-
Generation and use of triflyl azide in flow enables efficient synthesis of a range of α-diazocarbonyl compounds, including α-diazoketones, α-diazoamides, and an α-diazosulfonyl ester, via both Regitz-type diazo transfer and deacylative/debenzoylative diazo-transfer processes with excellent yields and offers versatility in the solvent employed, in addition to addressing the hazards associated with handling of this highly reactive sulfonyl azide. Telescoping the generation of triflyl azide and diazo-transfer process with highly enantioselective copper-mediated intramolecular aromatic addition and C-H insertion processes demonstrates that the reaction stream containing the α-diazocarbonyl compound can be obtained in sufficient purity to pass directly over the immobilized copper bis(oxazoline) catalyst without detrimentally impacting the catalyst enantioselectivity.

Supported RhNPs on functionalized OMS were prepared by controlled decomposition of an organometallic precursor of rhodium under dihydrogen pressure. The resulting materials were characterized thoroughly by spectroscopic and physical techniques (FTIR, TGA, BET, SEM, TEM, EDX, XPS) to confirm the formation of spherical rhodium nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution supported on the silica surface. The use of nicotinamide functionalized OMS as a support afforded small RhNPs (2.3 ± 0.3 nm), and their size and shape were maintained after the catalyzed acetophenone hydrogenation. In contrast, amine-functionalized OMS formed RhNP aggregates after the catalytic reaction. The supported RhNPs could selectively reduce alkenyl, carbonyl, aryl and heteroaryl groups and were active in the reductive amination of phenol and morpholine, using a low concentration of the precious metal (0.07-0.18 mol%).

- Cp*Ir complex bearing a flexible bridging and functional 2,2′-methylenebibenzimidazole ligand as an auto-tandem catalyst for the synthesis of N-methyl tertiary amines from imines via transfer hydrogenation/N-methylation with methanol
-
A Cp*Ir complex bearing a flexible bridging and functional 2,2′-methylenebibenzimidazole ligand was designed, synthesized, and found to be a general and efficient auto-tandem catalyst for the synthesis of N-methyl tertiary amines from imines via transfer hydrogenation/N-methylation with methanol as both hydrogen source and methylating reagent. In the presence of [Cp*Ir(2,2′-CH2BiBzImH2)Cl][Cl], a range of desirable products were obtained in high yields with nearly complete selectivities. The reaction is highly attractive due to the highly atom economy, and minimal consumption of chemicals and energy. Notably, this research exhibits new potential of metal–ligand bifunctional catalysts for the activation of methanol as C1 source for organic synthesis.

- Reductive Alkylation of Azides and Nitroarenes with Alcohols: A Selective Route to Mono- And Dialkylated Amines
-
Herein, we demonstrated an efficient protocol for reductive alkylation of azides/nitro compounds via a borrowing hydrogen (BH) method. By following this protocol, selective mono- and dialkylated amines were obtained under mild and solvent-free conditions. A series of control experiments and deuterium-labeling experiments were performed to understand this catalytic process. Mechanistic studies suggested that the Ir(III)-H was the active intermediate in this reaction. KIE study revealed that the breaking of the C-H bond of alcohol might be the rate-limiting step. Notably, this solvent-free strategy disclosed a high TON of around 5600. Based on kinetic studies and control experiments, a metal-ligand cooperative mechanism was proposed.

- Scalable preparation of stable and reusable silica supported palladium nanoparticles as catalysts for N-alkylation of amines with alcohols
-
The development of nanoparticles-based heterogeneous catalysts continues to be of scientific and industrial interest for the advancement of sustainable chemical processes. Notably, up-scaling the production of catalysts to sustain unique structural features, activities and selectivities is highly important and remains challenging. Herein, we report the expedient synthesis of Pd-nanoparticles as amination catalysts by the reduction of simple palladium salt on commercial silica using molecular hydrogen. The resulting Pd-nanoparticles constitute stable and reusable catalysts for the synthesis of various N-alkyl amines using borrowing hydrogen technology without the use of any base or additive. By applying this Pd-based catalyst, functionalized and structurally diverse N-alkylated amines as well as some selected drug molecules were synthesized in good to excellent yields. Practical and synthetic utility of this Pd-based amination protocol has been demonstrated by upscaling catalyst preparation and amination reactions to several grams-scales as well as recycling of catalyst. Noteworthy, this Pd-catalyst preparation has been up-scaled to kilogram scale and catalysts prepared in both small (1 g) and large-scale (kg) exhibited similar structural features and activity.

- Ruthenium(II) Complexes of Heteroditopic N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands: Efficient Catalysts for C-N Bond Formation via a Hydrogen-Borrowing Strategy under Solvent-Free Conditions
-
Both imidazol-2-ylidene (ImNHC) and 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (tzNHC) have evolved to be elite groups of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands for homogeneous catalysis. To develop efficient ruthenium(II)-based catalysts incorporating these ligands for C-N bond-forming reactions via hydrogen-borrowing methodology, we utilized chelating ligands integrated with ImNHC and mesoionic tzNHC donors connected via a CH2 spacer with a diverse triazole backbone. The synthesized ruthenium(II) complexes 3 are found to be highly efficient for C-N bond formation across a wide range of primary amine and alcohol substrates under solvent-free conditions, and among all of the complexes studied here, catalyst 3a with a mesityl substituent displayed maximum activity. To our delight, catalyst 3a is also effective for the selective mono-N-methylation of various anilines utilizing methanol as a coupling partner, known to be relatively more difficult than other alcohols. Furthermore, complex 3a also delivers various substituted quinolines successfully via the reaction of 2-aminobenzyl alcohol with several secondary alcohols. Importantly, catalyst 3a exhibited the highest activity among the reported ruthenium(II) complexes for both the N-benzylation of aniline [achieving a turnover number (TON) of 50000] and the realization of quinoline 8a by reacting 2-aminobenzyl alcohol with 2-phenylethanol (attaining a TON of 30000).

- Application of nano-carbon supported monatomic palladium-based catalyst in catalytic hydrogenation of nitrile compound to prepare secondary amine
-
The invention discloses application of a nano-carbon supported monatomic palladium-based catalyst in catalytic hydrogenation of a nitrile compound to prepare a secondary amine and belongs to the technical field of catalysts with application of catalytic hydrogenation of liquid-phase nitrile compounds. By adopting the monatomically dispersed palladium-based catalyst, a corresponding secondary aminecompound is generated with high selectivity under a mild condition, and the catalysis reaction conditions are that the reaction temperature is 45-90 DEG C and ammonia borane is adopted as a hydrogensource. In the catalyst disclosed by the invention, metals exist in a monatomic dispersion state, so that the utilization efficiency of the metals can be effectively improved, and the activity and theselectivity of the nitrile compound can be remarkably improved. In addition, the monatomically dispersed catalyst is convenient to prepare and low in cost, and has very good application prospects incatalytic hydrogenation of the nitrile compound to prepare the secondary amine.

- Selective Synthesis of Symmetrical Secondary Amines from Nitriles with a Pt?CuFe/Fe3O4 Catalyst and Ammonia Borane as Hydrogen Donor
-
Hydrogenation of nitriles is an efficient and environmentally friendly route to synthesize symmetrical secondary amines, but it usually produces a mixture of amines, imines, and hydrogenolysis by-products. Herein we report a magnetic quaternary-component Pt?CuFe/Fe3O4 nanocatalyst system for the selective synthesis of symmetrical secondary amines with ammonia borane as hydrogen donor. The catalyst with a low Pt loading (0.456 wt%) is the source of the activity, and the d-band electron transfer from Cu to Fe enhances the selectivity. This synergistic effect results in the transformation of benzonitrile to dibenzylamine with excellent conversion (up to 99 %) and nearly quantitative selectivity (up to 96 %) under mild reaction conditions, nevertheless, the reaction TOF is as high as up to 1409.9 h?1. A variety of nitriles are suitable for the synthesis of symmetrical secondary amines. More importantly, unwanted hydrogenolysis byproducts, especially toluene, is not detected at all. In addition, the catalyst is magnetically recoverable, and it can be reused up to five times.

- One-pot, chemoselective synthesis of secondary amines from aryl nitriles using a PdPt-Fe3O4nanoparticle catalyst
-
We have developed a new catalytic method for the one-pot, cascade synthesis of unsymmetrical secondary amines via the reductive amination of aryl nitriles with nitroalkanes using a PdPt-Fe3O4 nanoparticle (NP) catalyst. The use of a bimetallic catalyst resulted in enhanced reactivity and selectivity compared to that of either monometallic Pd-Fe3O4 or the Pt-Fe3O4 NP catalyst. Using this bimetallic catalytic system, we were successful in the synthesis of various unsymmetrical secondary amines under mild conditions. However, aryl nitriles containing an electron-donating substituent were rather resistant to the reductive amination, and when hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) was used as a co-solvent, the reaction selectivity and yield for unsymmetrical secondary amines increased dramatically. Using the catalyst system, one-pot, gram-scale synthesis of indole was possible from 2-nitrophenylacetonitrile. Due to the magnetic property of the Fe3O4 support, the bimetallic catalyst could easily be recycled using an external magnet at least four times.

- Nickel(II) Catalyzed Hydroboration: A Route to Selective Reduction of Aldehydes and N-Allylimines
-
A cationic [(iminophosphine)nickel(allyl)]+ complex was found to be sufficiently electrophilic to activate aldehydes and N-allylimines to undergo hydroboration with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst displayed excellent selectivity toward aldehydes in the presence of ketones. A wide variety of functional groups were tolerated, including halogens, NO2, CN, OMe, and alkenes for both aldehydes and imines. Electron-rich substrates were found to be significantly more reactive than their electron poor counterparts, a feature that was correlated to their enhanced ability to coordinate to the Lewis acidic nickel center.

- Metal-Ligand Cooperation Facilitates Bond Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation with Zinc Pincer Complexes
-
A series of PNP zinc pincer complexes capable of bond activation via aromatization/dearomatization metal-ligand cooperation (MLC) were prepared and characterized. Reversible heterolytic N-H and H-H bond activation by MLC is shown, in which hemilability of the phosphorus linkers plays a key role. Utilizing this zinc pincer system, base-free catalytic hydrogenation of imines and ketones is demonstrated. A detailed mechanistic study supported by computation implicates the key role of MLC in facilitating effective catalysis. This approach offers a new strategy for (de)hydrogenation and other catalytic transformations mediated by zinc and other main group metals.

- Efficient One-Pot Reductive Aminations of Carbonyl Compounds with Aquivion-Fe as a Recyclable Catalyst and Sodium Borohydride
-
A one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with NaBH4 was developed with a view to providing efficient, economical and greener synthetic conditions. A recyclable iron-based Lewis catalyst, Aquivion-Fe, was used to promote imine formation in cyclopentyl methyl ether, followed by the addition of a small amount of methanol to the reaction mixture to enable C=N reduction by NaBH4. The protocol, applied to a wide number of amines and carbonyl compounds, resulted in ever complete conversion of these latter with excellent chemoselectivity towards the expected amination products in the most cases. Isolated yields, determined for a selection of the screened substrates, were found consistent with the previously obtained conversion and selectivity data. Cinacalcet, an important active pharmaceutical ingredient, was efficiently prepared by the title procedure.

- Diethylsilane as a Powerful Reagent in Au Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Reductive Transformations
-
Diethylsilane (Et2SiH2), a simple and readily available dihydrosilane, that exhibits superior reactivity, as compared to monohydrosilanes, in a series of reductive transformations catalyzed by recyclable and reusable Au nanoparticles (1 mol-%) supported on TiO2. It reduces aldehydes or ketones almost instantaneously at ambient conditions. It can be used in a one pot rapid reductive amination procedure, in which premixing of aldehyde and amine is required prior to the addition of the reducing agent and the catalyst, even in a protic solvent. An unprecedented method for the synthesis of N-arylisoindolines is also shown in the reductive amination between o-phthalaldehyde and anilines. In this transformation, it is proposed that the intermediate N,2-diphenylisoindolin-1-imines are reduced stepwise to the isoindolines. Finally, Et2SiH2 readily reduces amides into amines in excellent yields and shorter reaction times relative to previously known analogous nano Au(0)-catalyzed protocols.

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.

The organoactinide-catalyzed (Cp*2ThMe2) hydroborated reduction of a wide range of tertiary, secondary, and primary amides to the corresponding amines/amine-borane adductsviadeoxygenation of the amides is reported herein. The catalytic reactions proceed under mild conditions with low catalyst loading and pinacolborane (HBpin) concentration in a selective fashion. Cp*2ThMe2is capable of efficiently catalysing the gram-scale reaction without a drop in efficiency. The amine-borane adducts are successfully converted into free amine products in high conversions, which increases the usefulness of this catalytic system. A plausible mechanism is proposed based on detailed kinetics, stoichiometric, and deuterium labeling studies.

- Thiazoline-Iridium (III) Complexes and Immobilized Nanomaterials as Selective Catalysts in N-Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols
-
In this research, a new series of thiazoline-iridium (III) complexes (4–7) derived from cysteine were prepared and fully characterized by conventional methods. The molecular structure of complex 5 was also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These complexes were evaluated as catalysts for hydrogen-borrowing reactions of amines with alcohols. In particular, complex 5 showed the best activity as catalyst. Various amines have been alkylated with alcohols affording moderate to good yield (33–99%). Moreover, the immobilized nanomaterials (M1,2) were fabricated by sonication process from the best catalyst 5 with the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene oxide (GO), respectively, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The M1,2 nanomaterials were also tested as catalysts in model catalytic reaction for N-alkylation. The M1 nanomaterial showed significantly higher activity than the M2 nanomaterial. The M1 catalyst was recovered by filtration and reused for four catalytic cycles with high conversion (99%, 97%, 96%, and 86%).

In the presence of 1 (1 mol%), BN was hydrogenated under relatively mild reaction conditions (100 °C, 120 psi H2, 72 h) to the corresponding secondary imine, N-benzylidenebenzylamine (BBA), in very good yield (83%). As a counterpart, 5 (1 mol%) selectively hydrogenated BN to benzylamine (BA) in excellent yield (96%) under similar reaction conditions (80 °C, 120 psi H2, 24 h). In both cases, nickel nanoparticles (Ni-NPs) were identified as the catalytically active species. These Ni-NPs were formed in situ from 1 and 5 without external additives or additional stabilizers. The use of complex 5 was extended to the hydrogenation of different (hetero) aromatic and aliphatic nitriles.

- On the Virtue of Indium in Reduction Reactions. A Comparison of Reductions Mediated by Indium and Zinc: Is Indium Metal an Effective Catalyst for Zinc Induced Reductions?
-
Indium(0)-mediated reductions have been reported for the transformation of several functional groups (imines, oximes, nitro groups, isoxazolidines, and conjugated alkenes, among others), prompted by the opportunity of performing the reactions in aqueous media and green conditions. We describe here the comparison of several reactions using indium or the less expensive zinc, carried out in order to evaluate the effective advantages brought about indium metal. We found some reactions for which use of In is mandatory and others where Zn worked equally well or even better. The reduction of hydroxylamines to the corresponding amines was the only reduction for which use of In provided much better results than Zn and was also possible to apply an efficient catalytic version with use of 2–5 mol-% In in the presence of stoichiometric Zn. Applicability of this catalytic reduction to “one-pot” model processes is also demonstrated.
