- Highly Active Ni Nanoparticles on N-doped Mesoporous Carbon with Tunable Selectivity for the One-Pot Transfer Hydroalkylation of Nitroarenes with EtOH in the Absence of H2
-
Cost-effective and environmentally friendly conversion of nitroarenes into value-added products is desirable but still challenging. In this work, highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles (NPs) supported on N-doped mesoporous carbon (Ni/NC-x) were synthesized via novel ion exchange-pyrolysis strategy. Their catalytic performance was investigated for one-pot transfer hydroalkylation of nitrobenzene (NB) with EtOH in absence of H2. Interestingly, the catalytic performance could be easily manipulated by tuning the morphology and electronic state of Ni NPs via varying the pyrolysis temperature. It was found that the Ni/NC-650 achieved 100 % nitrobenzene conversion and approx. 90 % selectivity of N,N-diethyl aniline at 240 °C for 5 h, more active than those of homogeneous catalysts or supported Ni catalysts prepared by impregnation (Ni/NC-650-IM, Ni/SiO2). This can be ascribed to the higher dispersion and better reducibility as well as richer surface basicity of the catalyst. More interestingly, the Ni/NC-650 catalyst achieved complete conversion of various nitroarenes, yielding imines, secondary amines, or tertiary amines selectively by simply controlling the reaction temperature at 180, 200 and 240 °C, respectively. The one-pot hydrogen-free process with non-noble metal catalysts, as demonstrated in this work, shows great promise for selective conversion of nitroarenes with ethanol to various anilines at industrial scale, from an economic, environmental, and safety viewpoint.

- Copper-Mediated monochlorination of anilines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles
-
A simple and selective copper(II) chloride-mediated monochlorination of anilines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles has been developed. Stirring a mixture of aniline, copper(II) chloride, lithium chloride in EtOH under reflux condition produced 4-chloroaniline with high yield. Eighteen substrates including substituted anilines, N-substituted anilines, N,N-disubstituted anilines, 5-nitroindole and carbazole were all reactive and afforded desired products in moderate to excellent yields (52%–98%).

- N-alkylation using sodium triacetoxyborohydride with carboxylic acids as alkyl sources
-
A versatile N-alkylation was performed using sodium triacetoxyborohydride and carboxylic acid as an alkyl source. The combination of these reagents furnished products different from those given previously by a similar reaction. Moreover, the mild conditions of our method allowed some functional groups to remain through the reaction, whereas they would react and be converted into other moieties in the similar reductive N-alkylation reported previously. Herein, we provide a new procedure for the preparation of various compounds containing nitrogen atoms.

- Catalytic N-Alkylation of Amines Using Carboxylic Acids and Molecular Hydrogen
-
A convenient, practical and green N-alkylation of amines has been accomplished by applying readily available carboxylic acids in the presence of molecular hydrogen. Applying an in situ formed ruthenium/triphos complex and an organic acid as cocatalyst, a broad range of alkylated secondary and tertiary amines are obtained in good to excellent yields. This novel method is also successfully applied for the synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted N-methyl/alkyl anilines through a direct three-component coupling reaction of the corresponding amines, carboxylic acids, and CO2 as a C1 source.

- Room temperature N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under UV irradiation catalyzed by Cu-Mo/TiO2
-
It is highly desirable to develop efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic reactions. Here, we show the preparation and catalytic performance of a novel TiO2 (P25) supported Cu and Mo photocatalyst (Cu-Mo/TiO2) for N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under UV irradiation at room temperature. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic amines were selectively converted into the corresponding secondary amines or tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields without the addition of any co-catalysts such as bases and organic ligands. Noteworthy, this catalytic system is feasible in the alkylation of anilines containing halogen substituents with alcohols and the yields of the desired products are up to 95%.

- Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of amides to amines
-
Hydrogenation of amides in the presence of [Ru(acac)3] (acacH=2,4-pentanedione), triphos [1,1,1-tris- (diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane] and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) produces secondary and tertiary amines with selectivities as high as 93 % provided that there is at least one aromatic ring on N. The system is also active for the synthesis of primary amines. In an attempt to probe the role of MSA and the mechanism of the reaction, a range of methanesulfonato complexes has been prepared from prepared from [Ru(acac) 3], triphos and MSA, or from reactions of [RuX-(OAc)(triphos)] (X=H or OAc) or [RuH2(CO)(triphos)] with MSA. Crys-tallographically characterised complexes include: [Ru(OAc-κ1O) 2(H2O)-(triphos)], [Ru(OAc-κ2O,O') (CH3SO3-κ1O)(triphos)], [Ru(CH 3SO3-κ1O)2-(H 2O)(triphos)] and [Ru2(μ-CH3SO 3)3-(triphos)2][CH3SO3], whereas other complexes, such as [Ru(OAc-κ1O)(OAc- κ2O,O')(triphos)],[Ru(CH3SO3- κ1O)(CH3SO3-κ2O,O')- (triphos)], H[Ru(CH3SO3-κ1O) 3-(triphos)], [RuH(CH3SO3-κ1O) (CO)-(triphos)] and [RuH(CH3SO3-k2O,O')- (triphos)] have been characterised spectroscopically. The interactions between these various complexes and their relevance to the catalytic reactions are discussed.

- Understanding reactivity patterns of the dialkylaniline radical cation
-
N,N-Dimethylaniline and N,N-diethylaniline react with Cu2+ to form the corresponding amine radical cations. The radical cations were characterized by their absorption spectra. In the absence of any nucleophiles, the radical cations dimerize to give tetraalkylbenzidines, and this reaction can be monitored by absorption spectroscopy, In the presence of nucleophiles such as Cl, Br, or SCN, the radical cations undergo nucleophilic substitution to give para-substituted dialkylanilines in good yields.

- Bis(triarylmethylium)-mediated diaryl ether synthesis: Oxidative arylation of phenols with N,N-dialkyl-4-phenylthioanilines
-
Various aryl 4-dialkylaminophenyl ethers were readily synthesized without heating in good yield from phenols and N,N-dialkyl-4-phenylthioanilines. This oxidative arylation of phenols was successfully promoted by a bis(diphenylmethylium)naphthalenediyl dication via ipso-substitution of the phenylthio group in the anilines through a radical process.

- Reaction of primary aromatic amines with alkyl carbonates over NaY faujasite: A convenient and selective access to mono-N-alkyl anilines
-
At atmospheric pressure and at 130-160°C, primary aromatic amines (p-XC6H4NH2, X = H, Cl, NO2) are mono-N-alkylated in a single step, with symmetrical and asymmetrical dialkyl carbonates [ROCOOR′, R = Me, R′ = MeO(CH2)2O(CH2)2; R = R′ = Et; R = R′ = benzyl; R = R′ = allyl; R = Et, R′ = MeO(CH2)2O(CH2)2], in the presence of a commercially available NaY faujasite. No solvents are required. Mono-N-alkyl anilines are obtained with a very high selectivity (90-97%), in good to excellent yields (68-94%), on a preparative scale. In the presence of triglyme as a solvent, the mono-N-alkyl selectivity is independent of concentration and polarity factors. The reaction probably takes place within the polar zeolite cavities, and through the combined effect of the dual acid-base properties of the catalyst.

- Substituted N,N-Dialkylanilines: Relative Ionization Energies and Proton Affinities through Determination of Ion-Molecule Reaction Equilibrium Constants
-
The relative ionization energies and proton affinities of N,N-dimethyl-, N,N-diethyl-, and N,N-di-n-propylaniline, and meta- and para-methyl-substituted analogues (as well as N,N,3,5-tetramethylaniline and 4-chloro-N,N-diethylaniline) have been determined in the gas phase through measurements of the equilibrium constants of charge-transfer and proton-transfer reactions in an ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer.Absolute values are assigned to the ionization energies and proton affinities generated in these experiments.Comparison atandards were the ionization potential (7.12 eV) and proton affinity (223.4 kcal/mol) for N,N-dimethylaniline taken from the literature.The heats of formation of the parent radical cations, M+, and the corresponding protonated molecules, MH+, vary in the same way, differing from one another by 21 +/- 2 kcal/mol over the entire set; that is, the radical cations of these compounds display a constant hydrogen affinity of 74 +/- 2 kcal/mol.This is interpreted to mean that all the compounds protonate at the nitrogen atom; previous work had suggested that meta-substituted isomers protonate on the ring.Further, it is demonstrated that variations in both the ionization energy and the proton affinity values upon changes in ring substitution can be predicted from the appropriate Hammett ? values, but not from the corresponding ?+ values; changes brought about by differing N-substituents correlate with ?* values.

- Stereoelectronic Effects in Tertiary Amine Nitrosation: Nitrosative Cleavage vs. Aryl Ring Nitration
-
The nitrosation (acetic acid) of N-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrolidine gives at least 30percent N-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidine while the corresponding aryldibenzylamine gives no nitration and only nitrosative dealkylation at nitrogen.This difference in reaction site has been probed with N-(4-chlorophenyl)diethylamine.This substance undergoes competitive ring nitration to N-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)diethylamine (50percent) and nitrosative dealkylation to (4-chlorophenyl)ethylnitrosamine (50percent).The former compound nitrosates further to give (4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)ethylnitrosamine.This substance denitrosates to give the corresponding secondary amine.The reactivity differences result from stereoelectronic factors controlling the amine nitrogen unshared pair delocalization into the aryl ring.This interpretation is supported by 13C NMR data and mechanistic arguments.
