- Direct reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes using bio-renewable formic acid as a hydrogen source
-
Reductive amination (RA) is one of the most important transformations in organic chemistry. A versatile and sustainable gas-free RA of aldehydes carried out directly with cheaply available nitroarenes using stoichiometric amounts of non-toxic and entirely renewable formic acid (FA) as the terminal reductant is described herein. A single phase rutile titania supported gold (Au/TiO2-R) catalyst is shown to catalyse efficiently this FA-based direct RA in neat water under mild reaction conditions. The broad scope, mild and neutral conditions, together with CO2 and water as environmental harmless byproducts, make this transformation very useful. Moreover, straightforward examples of the direct construction of bioactive heterocyclic compounds containing a benzimidazole motif were achieved through this protocol.

- Effect of the ancillary ligand in N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(III) catalyzed N-alkylation of amines with alcohols
-
A series of air-stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Ir(III) complexes (Ir1-6), bearing various combinations of chlorine, pyridine and NHC ligands, were assayed for the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols. It was found that Ir3, with two monodentate 1,3-bis-methyl-imidazolylidene (IMe) ligands, emerged as the most active complex. A large variety of amines and primary alcohols were efficiently converted into mono-N-alkylated amines in 53–96% yields. As a special highlight, for the challenging MeOH, selective N-monomethylation could be achieved using KOH as a base under an air atmosphere. Moreover, this catalytic system was successfully applied to the gram-scale synthesis of some valuable compounds.

- Tungsten-Catalyzed Direct N-Alkylation of Anilines with Alcohols
-
The implementation of non-noble metals mediated chemistry is a major goal in homogeneous catalysis. Borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer (BH/HA) reaction, as a straightforward and sustainable synthetic method, has attracted considerable attention in the development of non-noble metal catalysts. Herein, we report a tungsten-catalyzed N-alkylation reaction of anilines with primary alcohols via BH/HA. This phosphine-free W(phen)(CO)4 (phen=1,10-phenthroline) system was demonstrated as a practical and easily accessible in-situ catalysis for a broad range of amines and alcohols (up to 49 examples, including 16 previously undisclosed products). Notably, this tungsten system can tolerate numerous functional groups, especially the challenging substrates with sterically hindered substituents, or heteroatoms. Mechanistic insights based on experimental and computational studies are also provided.

- 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.

- Convenient and Reusable Manganese-Based Nanocatalyst for Amination of Alcohols
-
The development of new sustainable nanocatalytic systems for green chemical synthesis is a growing area in chemical science. Herein, a reusable heterogeneous N-doped graphene-based manganese nanocatalyst (Mn@NrGO) for selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols is described. Mechanistic studies illustrate that the catalytic reaction follows a domino dehydrogenation-condensation-hydrogenation sequence of alcohols and amines with the formation of water as the sole by-product. The scope of the reaction is extended to the synthesis of pharmaceutically important N-alkylated amine intermediates. The heterogeneous nature of the catalyst made it easy to separate for long-term performance, and the recycling study revealed that the catalyst was robust and retained its activity after several recycling experiments.

- Mimicking transition metals in borrowing hydrogen from alcohols
-
Borrowing hydrogen from alcohols, storing it on a catalyst and subsequent transfer of the hydrogen from the catalyst to anin situgenerated imine is the hallmark of a transition metal mediated catalyticN-alkylation of amines. However, such a borrowing hydrogen mechanism with a transition metal free catalytic system which stores hydrogen molecules in the catalyst backbone is yet to be established. Herein, we demonstrate that a phenalenyl ligand can imitate the role of transition metals in storing and transferring hydrogen molecules leading to borrowing hydrogen mediated alkylation of anilines by alcohols including a wide range of substrate scope. A close inspection of the mechanistic pathway by characterizing several intermediates through various spectroscopic techniques, deuterium labelling experiments, and DFT study concluded that the phenalenyl radical based backbone sequentially adds H+, H˙ and an electron through a dearomatization process which are subsequently used as reducing equivalents to the C-N double bond in a catalytic fashion.

- Cooperative catalysis of molybdenum with organocatalysts for distribution of products between amines and imines
-
Multi-amino groups and nitrogen donors compound was discovered as an organocatalyst for N-alkylation of alcohols with amines in the presence of Mo(CO)6. The Mo(CO)6/organocatalyst binary system has shown to be a highly active catalyst for the N-alkylation reaction between alcohols and amines with excellent tolerance of variable starting materials bearing different functional groups. Of particular note, this method possessing a superiority selectivity in the synthesis of N-alkylated amines or imines, which can be controlled by the reaction temperature. The cooperative catalysis mechanism in combination of Mo(CO)6 with organocatalyst was elucidated by control experiments.

- Synthesis ofN-aryl amines enabled by photocatalytic dehydrogenation
-
Catalytic dehydrogenation (CD)viavisible-light photoredox catalysis provides an efficient route for the synthesis of aromatic compounds. However, access toN-aryl amines, which are widely utilized synthetic moieties,viavisible-light-induced CD remains a significant challenge, because of the difficulty in controlling the reactivity of amines under photocatalytic conditions. Here, the visible-light-induced photocatalytic synthesis ofN-aryl amines was achieved by the CD of allylic amines. The unusual strategy using C6F5I as an hydrogen-atom acceptor enables the mild and controlled CD of amines bearing various functional groups and activated C-H bonds, suppressing side-reaction of the reactiveN-aryl amine products. Thorough mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of single-electron and hydrogen-atom transfers in a well-defined order to provide a synergistic effect in the control of the reactivity. Notably, the back-electron transfer process prevents the desired product from further reacting under oxidative conditions.

- Base-mediated cascade amidination/: N -alkylation of amines by alcohols
-
A base-mediated cascade amidination/N-alkylation reaction of amines by alcohols has been developed. For the first time, nitriles have been identified as an efficient and benign water acceptor reagent in N-alkylation. Notably, the procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxyl, halo, vinyl and hetero groups, providing a convenient method to construct different substituted diamino compounds, 15N labeled amine and could be scaled up to 1 mol scale offering 138.7 g of the desired product in good yield in one-pot. Mechanistic studies provided strong evidence for the amidination of amines with nitriles facilitated by t-BuOK.

- Base-Mediated Amination of Alcohols Using Amidines

Novel and efficient base-mediated N-alkylation and amidation of amidines with alcohols have been developed, which can be carried out in one-pot reaction conditions, which allows for the synthesis of a wide range of N-alkyl amines and free amides in good to excellent yields with high atom economy. In contrast to borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer or oxidative-type N-alkylation reactions, in which alcohols are activated by transition-metal-catalyzed or oxidative aerobic dehydrogenation, the use of amidines provides an effective surrogate of amines. This circumvents the inherent necessity in N-alkylation of an oxidant or a catalyst to be stabilized by ligands.

- Distinctive reactivity of N-benzylidene-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-amines under photoredox conditions
-
A simple photocatalytic method was developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,2-diamines by the unprecedented reductive coupling of N-benzylidene-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-amines with an aliphatic amine. The presence of a phenyl substituent in the aniline moiety of the substrate was critical for the reactivity. The reaction proceeded via radical–radical cross-coupling of α-amino radicals generated by proton-coupled single-electron transfer in the presence of an Ir photocatalyst. On the other hand, symmetrical 1,2-di-amines were selectively produced from the same starting materials by the judicious choice of the reaction conditions, showcasing the distinct reactivity of N-benzylidene-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-amines. The developed method can be employed for the synthesis of various bulky vicinal diamines, which are potential ligands in stereoselective synthesis.

- Manganese-Catalyzed and Base-Switchable Synthesis of Amines or Imines via Borrowing Hydrogen or Dehydrogenative Condensation
-
The use of earth-abundant transition metals as a noble metal replacement in catalysis is especially interesting if different catalytic reactivity is observed. We report, here, on the selective manganese-catalyzed base-switchable synthesis of N-alkylated amines or imines. In both reactions, borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer (N-alkyl amine formation) or dehydrogenative condensation (imine formation), we start from the same amines and alcohols and use the same Mn precatalyst. The key is the presence of a potassium base to prefer N-alkylation and a sodium base to permit imine formation. Both bases react with the manganese hydride via deprotonation. The potassium manganate hydride reacts about 40 times faster with an imine to give the corresponding amine than the sodium manganate hydride. The selectivity seems unique for manganese complexes. We observe a broad scope with a complete product overlap, all amine alcohol combinations can be converted into an N-alkyl amine or an imine, and a good functional group tolerance.

- Oxidative amination of benzylic alkanes with nitrobenzene derivatives as nitrogen sources
-
The oxidative amination of inert C[sbnd]H bonds has the potential to fundamentally change chemistry but is severely limited by the low chemo- and regio-selectivity under oxidation conditions. Until now, no efficient methodology for the direct intermolecular amination of terminal sp3-C[sbnd]H bonds to N-alkyl amines has existed. Here, a new concept is proposed for the oxidative amination of the terminal sp3-C[sbnd]H bond in alkanes via the construction of a complex reaction system composed of a carbon-supported Co-Ni bimetallic catalyst, an alkane, nitrobenzene, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and hydrogen. This system allows the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline and the further oxidative amination of the alkane. Nitrobenzene and toluene derivatives can be successfully transformed into the corresponding N-benzyl aniline derivatives with up to 95% isolated yields, and the reaction shows excellent functional group tolerance. This approach offers a new concept for catalyst design and may strongly promote the study of inert C[sbnd]H bond activation and the synthesis of functional N-containing compounds.

- New Iridium Catalysts for the Selective Alkylation of Amines by Alcohols under Mild Conditions and for the Synthesis of Quinolines by Acceptor-less Dehydrogenative Condensation
-
A novel family of iridium catalysts stabilised by P,N-ligands have been introduced. The ligands are based on imidazo[1,5-b]pyridazin-7-amines and can be synthesised with a broad variety of substitution patterns. The catalysts were synthesised quantitatively from the protonated ligands and a commercially available iridium precursor. The catalysts mediate the alkylation of amines by alcohols under mild conditions (70 °C). In addition, the synthesis of quinolines from secondary or primary alcohols and amino alcohols is reported. This sustainable synthesis proceeds through the liberation of two equivalents of water and two equivalents of dihydrogen. The investigations indicate that catalysts suitable for hydrogen autotransfer or borrowing hydrogen chemistry might also be suitable for acceptor-less dehydrogenative condensation reactions. Your H or mine? A family of catalysts that mediate the alkylation of amines by alcohols under mild conditions are introduced (see scheme; HA=hydrogen autotransfer, BH=borrowing hydrogen, ADC=acceptor-less dehydrogenative condensation). The efficient synthesis of quinolines from alcohols and amino alcohols through the liberation of two equivalents of dihydrogen is also mediated by this catalyst family.

- Development of a general non-noble metal catalyst for the benign amination of alcohols with amines and ammonia
-
The N-alkylation of amines or ammonia with alcohols is a valuable route for the synthesis of N-alkyl amines. However, as a potentially clean and economic choice for N-alkyl amine synthesis, non-noble metal catalysts with high activity and good selectivity are rarely reported. Normally, they are severely limited due to low activity and poor generality. Herein, a simple NiCuFeOx catalyst was designed and prepared for the N-alkylation of ammonia or amines with alcohol or primary amines. N-alkyl amines with various structures were successfully synthesized in moderate to excellent yields in the absence of organic ligands and bases. Typically, primary amines could be efficiently transformed into secondary amines and N-heterocyclic compounds, and secondary amines could be N-alkylated to synthesize tertiary amines. Note that primary and secondary amines could be produced through a one-pot reaction of ammonia and alcohols. In addition to excellent catalytic performance, the catalyst itself possesses outstanding superiority, that is, it is air and moisture stable. Moreover, the magnetic property of this catalyst makes it easily separable from the reaction mixture and it could be recovered and reused for several runs without obvious deactivation. Copyright

The arylation is functional-group tolerant, with alkene, ether, trifluoromethyl, dimethylamino, carbonyl, chloro, and cyano functionalities tolerated. Phenylation of enantiopure binaphthyldiamine affords a product with >99% ee.

- An efficient method for the selective iridium-catalyzed monoalkylation of (hetero)aromatic amines with primary alcohols
-
An efficient multi-gram scale synthesis protocol of a variety of P,N ligands is described. The synthesis is achieved in a two-step reaction. First, the amine is deprotonated and subsequently the chlorophosphine is added to yield the corresponding P,N ligand. Deprotonation of the amine is normally achieved with n-BuLi at low temperature, but for the preparation of ligands with a 2,2′-dipyridylamino backbone and phosphines with a high steric demand KH has to be employed in combination with reaction temperatures of 110°C for the salt metathesis step. The reaction of two equivalents of a selected P,N ligand with one equivalent of the iridium complex [IrCl(cod)]2 (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) affords P,N ligand-coordinated iridium complexes in quantitative yield. X-Ray single crystal structure analysis of one of these complexes reveals a monomeric five-coordinated structure in the solid state. The iridium complexes were used to form catalysts for the N-alkylation of aromatic amines with alcohols. The catalyst system was optimized by studying 8 different P,N ligands, 9 different solvents and 14 different bases. Systematic variation of the substrate to base and the amine to alcohol ratios as well as the catalyst loading led to optimized catalytic reaction conditions. The substrate scope of the developed catalytic protocol was shown by synthesizing 20 different amines of which 12 could be obtained in isolated yields higher than 90%. A new efficient catalyst system for the selective monoalkylation of primary aromatic and heteroaromatic amines with primary aromatic, heteroaromatic as well as aliphatic alcohols has been established. The reaction proceeds with rather moderate catalyst loadings.

- Steric effects in palladium-catalysed amination of aryl triflates and nonaflates with the primary amines PhCH(R)NH2 (R=H, Me)
-
A systematic study of the effects of aryl triflate and nonaflate structure on the yield of amination with the primary amines PhCH(R)NH2 (R=H, Me) under palladium catalysis has been carried out. High throughput screening indicated that a catalyst composed of X-Phos/Pd2(dba)3/1,4-dioxane was optimal based on a model reaction of Ar(ORf) [Rf=Tf (SO2CF3), Nf (SO2(CF2)3CF3)] with PhCH2NH2. Comparisons of the reactivity of various ArOTf and ArONf [Ar=4-MePh, 2-naphthyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-PhC6H4] indicated that both ortho substitution in the aryl electrophile and at the α-position on the amine are detrimental to the coupling particularly when they occur in combination. Despite being formally a monodentate ligand use of X-Phos leads to only small degrees of racemisation when using (R)-PhCH(Me)NH2 (typically resulting in a reduction from 97 to 86-94% ee for the amine stereocentre).
