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.

Warming treatment of aryl o-biaryl ketones with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 in toluene, followed by the reaction with molecular iodine and K2CO3 in a mixture of THF and methanol at 60 °C gave the corresponding 6-arylphenanthridines in good to moderate yields. The present reaction is a one-pot method for the preparation of 6-arylphenanthridines from aryl o-biaryl ketones through the cyclization of imino-nitrogen-centered radicals that were generated from N-iodo aryl o-biaryl ketimines formed from the reaction of aryl biaryl ketimines with molecular iodine.

We report on the properties of the three positional isomers of (2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)benzonitrile, which are found to have comparable donor steric environments and donor-acceptor dihedral angles. An unexpected intramolecular dip
A Transition-Metal-Free One-Pot Cascade Process for Transformation of Primary Alcohols (RCH2OH) to Nitriles (RCN) Mediated by SO2F2

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.

The hydrido silyl iron complex (o-Ph2PC6H4SiMe2)Fe(PMe3)3H (2) was obtained via the activation of the Si-H bond of the bidentate silyl ligand o-Ph2P(C6H4)SiMe2H (1) by Fe(PMe3)4. 2 showed good to excellent catalytic activity in both the reduction of aldehydes/ketones and the dehydration of benzamide. In addition, with complex 2 as a catalyst, α,β-unsaturated carbonyls could be selectively reduced to the corresponding α,β-unsaturated alcohols. The mechanisms of the formation of 2 and the catalytic dehydration process are proposed and partly experimentally verified.
NH3?H2O: The Simplest Nitrogen-Containing Ligand for Selective Aerobic Alcohol Oxidation to Aldehydes or Nitriles in Neat Water

, p. 885 - 889 (2018/12/10)
Aqueous ammonia (NH3?H2O) has been shown to serve as the simplest nitrogen-containing ligand to effectively promote copper-catalyzed selective alcohol oxidation under air in water. A series of alcohols with varying electronic and steric properties were selectively oxidized to aldehydes with up to 95 % yield. Notably, by increasing the amount of aqueous ammonia in neat water, the exclusive formation of aryl nitriles was also accomplished with good-to-excellent yields. Additionally, the catalytic system exhibits a high level of functional group tolerance with ?OH, ?NO2, esters, and heteroaryl groups all being amenable to the reaction conditions. This one-pot and green oxidation protocol provides an important synthetic route for the selective preparation of either aldehydes or nitriles from commercially available alcohols.

supporting information, p. 1572 - 1577 (2018/06/26)
A convenient, efficient and practical visible-light-induced decarboxylative iodination of aromatic carboxylic acids has been developed, and the corresponding aryl iodides were obtained in good yields. The method shows some advantages including the use of readily available aromatic carboxylic acids as the starting materials, simple and mild conditions, high efficiency, wide substrate scope and tolerance of various functional groups.

Herein we report a general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction. Using electricity as the driving force, this protocol employs a simple and inexpensive halogen source, such as NBS, CBrCl3, CH2I2, CCl4, LiCl and NaBr for the halogenation of aryl diazonium salts. In addition, we found that these electrochemical reactions could be performed using anilines as the starting material in a one-pot fashion. Furthermore, the practicality of this process was demonstrated in the multigram scale synthesis of aryl halides using highly inexpensive graphite as the electrode. A series of detailed mechanism studies have been performed, including radical clock and radical scavenger study, cyclic voltammetry analysis and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis.

A metal-free synthesis of aryl bromides and iodides from anilines via halogen abstraction from bromotrichloromethane and diiodomethane is described. This one-pot reaction affords aryl halides from the corresponding anilines in moderate to excellent yields without isolation of diazonium salts. The transformation has short reaction times, a simple workup, and insensitivity to moisture and air and avoids excess halogenation. DFT calculations support a SRN1 mechanism. This method represents a convenient alternative to the classic Sandmeyer reaction.
