- Improved conversion of bamboo shoot shells to furfuryl alcohol and furfurylamine by a sequential catalysis with sulfonated graphite and biocatalysts
-
Furfurylamine and furfuryl alcohol are known as important furfural-upgrading derivatives in the production of pharmaceuticals, fibers, additives, polymers, etc. In a one-pot manner, the catalysis of biomass into furan-based chemicals was established in a tandem reaction with sulfonated Sn-graphite catalysts and biocatalysts. Using a raw bamboo shoot shell (75.0 g L-1) as the feedstock, a high furfural yield of 41.1% (based on xylan) was obtained using the heterogeneous Sn-graphite catalyst (3.6 wt% dosage) in water (pH 1.0) for 30 min at 180 °C. Under the optimum bioreaction conditions, the biomass-derived furfural could be transformed into furfuryl alcohol (0.310 g furfuryl alcohol per g xylan in biomass) by a reductase biocatalyst or furfurylamine (0.305 g furfurylamine per g xylan in biomass) using an ω-transaminase biocatalyst. Such one-pot chemoenzymatic processes combined the merits of both heterogeneous catalysts and biocatalysts, and sustainable processes were successfully constructed for synthesizing key bio-based furans.

- Selective catalysis for the reductive amination of furfural toward furfurylamine by graphene-co-shelled cobalt nanoparticles
-
Amines with functional groups are widely used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and polymers but most of them are still prepared through petrochemical routes. The sustainable production of amines from renewable resources, such as biomass, is thus necessary. For this reason, we developed an eco-friendly, simplified, and highly effective procedure for the preparation of a non-toxic heterogeneous catalyst based on earth-abundant metals, whose catalytic activity on the reductive amination of furfural or other derivatives (more than 24 examples) proved to be broadly available. More surprisingly, the cobalt-supported catalyst was found to be magnetically recoverable and reusable up to eight times with an excellent catalytic activity; on the other hand, the gram-scale tests catalyzed by the same catalyst exhibited the similar yield of the target products in comparison to its smaller scale, which was comparable to the commercial noble-based catalysts. Further results from a series of analytical technologies involving XRD, XPS, TEM/mapping, and in situ FTIR revealed that the structural features of the catalyst are closely in relation to its catalytic mechanisms. In simple terms, the outer graphitic shell is activated by the electronic interaction as well as the induced charge redistribution, enabling the easy substitution of the –NH2 moiety toward functionalized and structurally diverse molecules, even under very mild industrially viable and scalable conditions. Overall, this newly developed catalyst introduces the synthesis of amines from biomass-derived platforms with satisfactory selectivity and carbon balance, providing cost-effective and sustainable access to the wide applications of reductive amination.

- ZIF-67 Derived Co/NC Nanoparticles Enable Catalytic Leuckart-type Reductive Amination of Bio-based Carbonyls to N-Formyl Compounds
-
It is of great significance to develop non-precious metal catalysts with excellent catalytic activity, stability, and acid resistance for biomass valorization. Herein, catalytic amination of biomass carbonyl compounds was achieved via a Leuckart-type reaction over Co nanoparticles (NPs) embedded N-doped carbon catalyst, which was prepared by thermolysis of ZIF-67 precursor at different temperatures in the N2 atmosphere. The Co/NC-800 catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity and recyclability in furfural reductive amination to mono-substituted formamide, which was attributed to the synergistic catalytic action of Co NPs and nitrogen base sites of the catalyst. The reductive amination mechanisms were elucidated by theoretical calculations, and showed that the initial formation of C?N bond was derived from the condensation of furfural and formamide, followed by dehydration to form C=N double bond, which was then reduced by hydrogen species Co?H? and NH+. The developed catalytic system was applicable to different carbonyls for the synthesis of corresponding N-formyl compounds with up to 99 % yield.

- Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydrogenative Transformation of Nitriles
-
Here, we report the transformation of nitrile compounds in a hydrogen atmosphere. Catalyzed by a cobalt/tetraphosphine complex, hydrogenative coupling of unprotected indoles with nitriles proceeds smoothly in a basic medium, yielding C3 alkylated indoles. In addition, the direct hydrogenation of nitriles under the same conditions yielded primary amines. Isotope labeling experiments, along with a series of control experiments, revealed a reaction pathway that involves nucleophilic addition of indoles and 1,4-reduction of a conjugate imine intermediate. Different from reductive alkylation of indoles under an acidic condition, E1cB elimination is believed to occur in this base-promoted hydrogenative coupling reaction.

- Synthesis of amides and esters containing furan rings under microwave-assisted conditions
-
In this work, we present a novel method for the synthesis of ester and amide derivatives containing furan rings (furfural derivatives) under mild synthetic conditions supported by microwave radiation. N-(Furan-2-ylmethyl)furan-2-carboxamide and furan-2-ylmethyl furan-2-carboxylate were produced using 2-furoic acid, furfurylamine, and furfuryl alcohol. The reactions were carried out in a microwave reactor in the presence of effective coupling reagents: DMT/NMM/TsO? or EDC. The reaction time, the solvent, and the amounts of the substrates were optimized. After crystallization or flash chromatography, the final compounds were isolated with good or very good yields. Our method allows for the synthesis of N-blocked amides using N-blocked amino acids (Boc, Cbz, Fmoc) and amine. As well as compounds with a monoamide and ester moiety, products with diamides and diester bonds (N,N-bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) furan-2,5-dicarboxamide, bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) furan-2,5dicarboxylate, and furan-3,4-diylbis(methylene) bis(furan-2-carboxylate)) were synthesized with moderate yields in the presence of DMT/NMM/TsO– or EDC, using 2,5-furan-dicarboxylic acid and 3,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan as substrates.

- Self-regulated catalysis for the selective synthesis of primary amines from carbonyl compounds
-
Most current processes for the general synthesis of primary amines by reductive amination are performed with enormously excessive amounts of hazardous ammonia. It remains unclear how catalysts should be designed to regulate amination reaction dynamics at a low ammonia-to-substrate ratio for the quantitative synthesis of primary amines from the corresponding carbonyl compounds. Herein we show a facile control of the reaction selectivity in the layered boron nitride supported ruthenium catalyzed reductive amination reaction. Specifically, locating ruthenium to the edge surface of layered boron nitride leads to an increased hydrogenation activity owing to the enhanced interfacial electronic effects between ruthenium and the edge surface of boron nitride. This enables self-accelerated reductive amination reactions which quantitatively synthesize structurally diverse primary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with twofold ammonia.

- Deoxygenative hydroboration of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides: Catalyst-free synthesis of various substituted amines
-
Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.

- Direct Conversion of Hydrazones to Amines using Transaminases
-
Transaminase enzymes (TAms) have been widely used for the amination of aldehydes and ketones, often resulting in optically pure products. In this work, transaminases were directly reacted with hydrazones in a novel approach to form amine products. Several substrates were investigated, including those with furan and phenyl moieties. It was determined that the amine yields increased when an additional electrophile was added to the reaction mixture, suggesting that they can sequester the hydrazine released in the reaction. Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), a cofactor for transaminases, and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-aldehydes were both found to increase the yield of amine formed. Notably, the amination of (S)-(?)-1-amino-2-(methoxymethyl)pyrrolidine (SAMP) hydrazones gave promising results as a method to form chiral β-substituted amines in good yield.

- Comparative account of catalytic activity of Ru- and Ni-based nanocomposites towards reductive amination of biomass derived molecules
-
This work includes an effective comparison of metallic ruthenium and nickel nanoparticles loaded on montmorillonite clay (MMT) for reductive amination reaction of biomass-derived molecules. It comprises an eco-friendly reaction using water as a solvent, utilizing molecular hydrogen and liquor ammonia (25% aq. solution) for the synthesis of primary amines from bio-derived aldehydes within 3–10 h of reaction time. Various parameters such as temperature, hydrogen pressure, substrate/ammonia concentration ratio, and reaction time were optimized while comparing the selectivity of primary amines for both catalysts. The applicability scope of these catalysts was explored with a library of aryl and heterocyclic aldehydes. The reductive amination of crude furfural extracted from biomass feedstock (rice husk) and pure xylose sugar was tested, showing yields in the range of 11–36%, to show the wider industrial scope of both nanocomposites. Gram scale conversion was also carried out to showcase the bulk scalability of the Ru/MMT catalyst.

- Direct Amination of Biomass-based Furfuryl Alcohol and 5-(Aminomethyl)-2-furanmethanol with NH3 over Hydrotalcite-derived Nickel Catalysts via the Hydrogen-borrowing Strategy
-
A series of hydrotalcite-derived nickel catalysts were synthesized and employed for the direct amination of biomass-based furfuryl alcohol with NH3 via the hydrogen borrowing strategy. The effects of the Ni/Al molar ratio and calcination temperature of the NiAl hydrotalcite-like precursors on the performance of the NixAl-CT catalyst were investigated. The systematic characterization showed that the synergistic catalysis of the metal and acid-base sites was of vital importance for the amination of alcohols. In particular, the Ni2Al-600 catalyst with high amount of Ni0 sites (1.26 mmol g?1) and suitable density of acid-base sites (0.71 mmol g?1 and 1.10 mmol g?1, respectively) exhibited the best dehydrogenation capability and therefore excellent catalytic activity. An 84.1 % yield of furfurylamine with complete conversion of furfuryl alcohol was obtained under the reaction conditions of 180 °C and 0.4 MPa NH3 in 36 h. The presence of Ni3N in the spent catalyst, confirmed by XRD, TEM and XPS characterizations, was demonstrated to be responsible for the deactivation of the NixAl-CT catalyst. In addition, the Ni2Al-600 catalyst exhibited satisfactory performance toward another important biomass-related transformation of 5-(aminomethyl)-2-furanmethanol to 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan, with a yield of 70.5 %.

- Reductive amination of bio-based 2-hydroxytetrahydropyran to 5-Amino-1-pentanol over nano-Ni-Al2O3catalysts
-
The synthesis of useful amines from bio-based carbonyl compounds is highly desired owing to their mild reaction conditions and green sustainability. The reductive amination of bio-furfural-derived 2-hydroxytetrahydropyran (2-HTHP) to high-value-added 5-Amino-1-pentanol (5-AP) was carried out over efficient Ni-Al2O3catalysts prepared by a co-precipitation method. Among the Ni-Al2O3catalysts with different Ni loadings (0-100 wt%) tested, the 50Ni-Al2O3catalyst exhibited the highest5-APyield of 91.3% under mild conditions of 60 °C and 2 MPa H2. This catalyst also presented good stability during a 150 h time-on-stream without appreciable deactivation. Characterization results showed that the 50Ni-Al2O3catalyst exhibited small Ni0nanoparticles (5.5 nm), a high reduction degree (up to 95%), and a large amount of strong Lewis acid sites. The cooperative catalysis of the strong Lewis acid sites and highly dispersed metallic Ni sites is suggested to play an important role in achieving high efficiency in2-HTHPreductive amination.

- A State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous Catalyst for Efficient and General Nitrile Hydrogenation
-
Cobalt-doped hybrid materials consisting of metal oxides and carbon derived from chitin were prepared, characterized and tested for industrially relevant nitrile hydrogenations. The optimal catalyst supported onto MgO showed, after pyrolysis at 700 °C, magnesium oxide nanocubes decorated with carbon-enveloped Co nanoparticles. This special structure allows for the selective hydrogenation of diverse and demanding nitriles to the corresponding primary amines under mild conditions (e.g. 70 °C, 20 bar H2). The advantage of this novel catalytic material is showcased for industrially important substrates, including adipodinitrile, picolinonitrile, and fatty acid nitriles. Notably, the developed system outperformed all other tested commercial catalysts, for example, Raney Nickel and even noble-metal-based systems in these transformations.

- Facile synthesis of controllable graphene-co-shelled reusable Ni/NiO nanoparticles and their application in the synthesis of amines under mild conditions
-
The primary objective of many researchers in chemical synthesis is the development of recyclable and easily accessible catalysts. These catalysts should preferably be made from Earth-abundant metals and have the ability to be utilised in the synthesis of pharmaceutically important compounds. Amines are classified as privileged compounds, and are used extensively in the fine and bulk chemical industries, as well as in pharmaceutical and materials research. In many laboratories and in industry, transition metal catalysed reductive amination of carbonyl compounds is performed using predominantly ammonia and H2. However, these reactions usually require precious metal-based catalysts or RANEY nickel, and require harsh reaction conditions and yield low selectivity for the desired products. Herein, we describe a simple and environmentally friendly method for the preparation of thin graphene spheres that encapsulate uniform Ni/NiO nanoalloy catalysts (Ni/NiO?C) using nickel citrate as the precursor. The resulting catalysts are stable and reusable and were successfully used for the synthesis of primary, secondary, tertiary, and N-methylamines (more than 62 examples). The reaction couples easily accessible carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) with ammonia, amines, and H2 under very mild industrially viable and scalable conditions (80 °C and 1 MPa H2 pressure, 4 h), offering cost-effective access to numerous functionalized, structurally diverse linear and branched benzylic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic amines including drugs and steroid derivatives. We have also demonstrated the scale-up of the heterogeneous amination protocol to gram-scale synthesis. Furthermore, the catalyst can be immobilized on a magnetic stirring bar and be conveniently recycled up to five times without any significant loss of catalytic activity and selectivity for the product.

- Ru/HZSM-5 as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for reductive amination of furfural to furfurylamine
-
Furfurylamine converted from biomass-based platform molecules furfural was proven a significant intermediate in the synthesis of different valuable compounds. The combination of Ruthenium with HZSM-5 was acted as an excellent selective and reusable catalyst for the reduction amination of furfural with environmentally friendly ammonia and hydrogen. Incorporation of Ru species into HZSM-5 had a significant enhancement to the acid sites of Ru/HZSM-5. The Ru/HZSM-5(46) catalyst with optimized acid sites and interaction of the Ru-O-Al bond displayed an excellent catalytic performance, producing 76 % yield of furfurylamine at only 15 min, and could be recycled five times without loss of performance. Synergistic effect between RuO2 and metallic Ru in the Ru/HZSM-5 catalyst facilitated the reduction amination of furfural.

- Effects of ruthenium hydride species on primary amine synthesis by direct amination of alcohols over a heterogeneous Ru catalyst
-
Heterogeneously catalysed synthesis of primary amines by direct amination of alcohols with ammonia has long been an elusive goal. In contrast to reported Ru-based catalytic systems, we report that Ru-MgO/TiO2 acts as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the direct amination of a variety of alcohols to primary amines at low temperatures of ca. 100 °C without the introduction of H2 gas. The present system could be applied to a variety of alcohols and provides an efficient synthetic route for 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan (BAMF), an attention-getting biomonomer. The high catalytic performance can be rationalized by the reactivity tuning of Ru-H species using MgO. Spectroscopic measurements suggest that MgO enhances the reactivity of hydride species by electron donation from MgO to Ru.

- Ambient-Temperature Synthesis of Primary Amines via Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds
-
Efficient synthesis of primary amines via low-temperature reductive amination of carbonyl compounds using NH3 and H2 as the nitrogen and hydrogen resources is highly desired and challenging in the chemistry community. Herein, we employed naturally occurring phytic acid as a renewable precursor to fabricate titanium phosphate (TiP)-supported Ru nanocatalysts with different reduction degrees of RuO2 (Ru/TiP-x, x represents the reduction temperature) by combining ball milling and molten-salt processes. Very interestingly, the obtained Ru/TiP-100 had good catalytic performance for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds at ambient temperature, resulting from the synergistic cooperation of the support (TiP) and the Ru/RuO2 with a suitable proportion of Ru0 (52%). Various carbonyl compounds could be efficiently converted into the corresponding primary amines with high yields. More importantly, the conversion of other substrates with reducible groups could also be achieved at ambient temperature. Detailed investigations indicated that the partially reduced Ru and the support (TiP) were indispensable. The high activity and selectivity of Ru/TiP-100 catalyst originates from the relatively high acidity and the suitable electron density of metallic Ru0.

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.

- Selective Synthesis of Furfurylamine by Reductive Amination of Furfural over Raney Cobalt
-
Effect of metal nature on reductive amination was investigated with biomass-based furfural as a typical substrate. Among the tested heterogeneous metal catalysts, cobalt proved to be the most effective metal for the synthesis of the corresponding primary amine. Under a relatively mild reaction condition, 98.9 % yield of furfurylamine was obtained over Raney Co and it can be reused more than eight times without a significant decrease in the catalytic performance. By extensively studying the catalytic pathways and reaction mechanism, it is found that the selectivity to primary amine and secondary amine was governed by the relative rate of hydrogenolysis and hydrogenation of the Schiff base intermediate. The superiority of Raney Co in furfurylamine synthesis can be ascribed to its high efficiency on hydrogenolysis of the Schiff base intermediate and its low performance in the hydrogenation of the Schiff base, carbonyl group and furan ring. Furthermore, ammonia greatly promoted the catalytic hydrogenolysis of the Schiff base intermediate over Raney Co without clear deactivation of the metal active sites.

The pyrolysis temperature showed a great effect on the structure and properties of the as-prepared catalysts. The Co@NC-800 catalyst with the pyrolysis temperature of 800 °C demonstrated a high activity for the selective reductive amination of carbonyl compounds to primary amines with ammonia and hydrogen. Structurally-diverse primary amines with yields in the range from 81.8% to 100% were attained under the optimal conditions. The Co@NC-800 catalyst could be reused without the loss of its activity. The Co@NC-800 catalyst demonstrated comparable activity as the reported heterogeneous noble metal catalysts.

- Nitrogen-Doped Carbon-Supported Nickel Nanoparticles: A Robust Catalyst to Bridge the Hydrogenation of Nitriles and the Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds for the Synthesis of Primary Amines
-
An efficient method was developed for the synthesis of primary amines either from the hydrogenation of nitriles or reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. The reactions were catalyzed by nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (MC)-supported nickel nanoparticles (abbreviated as MC/Ni). The MC/Ni catalyst demonstrated high catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitriles into primary amines in high yields (81.9–99 %) under mild reaction conditions (80 °C and 2.5 bar H2). The MC/Ni catalyst also promoted the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds for the synthesis of primary amines at 80 °C and 1 bar H2. The hydrogenation of nitriles and the reductive amination proceeded through the same intermediates for the generation of the primary amines. To the best of our knowledge, no other heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts have been reported for the synthesis of primary amines under mild conditions, both from the hydrogenation of nitriles and reductive amination.

- A Comprehensive Study on the Reductive Amination of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-Bisaminomethylfuran over Raney Ni Through DFT Calculations
-
Reductive amination of furfuryl alcohol, furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) were carried out on various metal catalysts. Over Raney Ni catalyst, we obtained the highest furfurylamine yields of 81.8 % and 94.0 % from furfuryl alcohol in absence and presence of H2, respectively. While furfural was used as the substrate, 100 % yield of furfurylamine could be achieved over Raney Ni under rather moderate conditions. Although 5-HMF was completely converted over all catalysts used, the highest yield of 2,5-bisaminomethylfuran (60.7 %) was obtained over Raney Ni at 160 °C in 12 h. The DFT calculations on the adsorption behavior of NH3 and H2 on different metal surfaces showed that the difference of the adsorption energy between NH3 and H2 on Ni is lower than those of other metals, indicating that less metal active sites on Ni surface is occupied by NH3, which leaves more active sites for dehydrogenation/hydrogenation reactions and in the end promotes the reductive amination reactions.

- Morphology-Tuned Activity of Ru/Nb2O5 Catalysts for Ketone Reductive Amination
-
Amines are important compounds in natural products and medicines. Specifically, cyclopentylamine is one of the value-added chemicals widely used in the production of pesticides, cosmetics and medicines. In this work, three Ru/Nb2O5 catalysts with different Nb2O5 morphologies were used in the reductive amination of cyclopentanone under mild reaction conditions (90 °C, 2 MPa H2), among which 1 %Ru/Nb2O5?L catalyst exhibits best performance with the yield of cyclopentylamine reaching 84 %. This catalytic system is stable and has not significant deactivation even after 5 runs in the durability test. In addition, this catalyst can be extended to a series of aldehydes/ketones. Further comprehensive characterizations (XPS analysis and CO-adsorption DRIFT) reveal that the electronic effect of Ru species can be ruled out; instead, the activity of the catalyst is strongly influenced by the geometric effect. Layered Nb2O5 material possesses the highest surface area, resulting in the highest Ru dispersion, and therefore shows the highest catalytic activity. The in-situ DRIFT-MS technique was also used to reveal and understand the reaction mechanism. It is found that Ru species play a key role in activating carbonyl groups. This study illustrates a promising application of Ru/Nb2O5-Layer catalyst in the synthesis of amine and provides an understanding to the reaction mechanism.

Studies that report both the biological properties and the ability of metallic complexes to promote therapeutically relevant catalytic reactions are limited. Herein, we report the anticancer activity and catalytic potential of some ruthenium(II)-arene complexes bearing bidentate Schiff base ligands (2a and 2b) and their reduced analogues (5a and 5b, respectively). In comparison to their Schiff base counterparts 2a and 2b, we demonstrate that amine complexes 5a and 5b display (i) a higher in vitro antiproliferative activity on different human cancer cell lines, (ii) a lower rate of hydrolysis, and (iii) an improved initial catalytic rate for the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In contrast to their imine analogues 2a and 2b, we also show that amine complexes 5a and 5b induce the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Our results highlight the impact that a simple ligand modification such as the reduction of an imine moiety can have on both the catalytic and biological activities of metal complexes. Moreover, the ruthenium complexes reported here display some antiproliferative activity against T47D breast cancer cells, known for their cis-platin resistance.

- A high performance catalyst of shape-specific ruthenium nanoparticles for production of primary amines by reductive amination of carbonyl compounds
-
The creation of metal catalysts with highly active surfaces is pivotal to meeting the strong economic demand of the chemical industry. Specific flat-shaped pristine fcc ruthenium nanoparticles having a large fraction of atomically active {111} facets exposed on their flat surfaces have been developed that act as a highly selective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the production of various primary amines at exceedingly high reaction rates by the low temperature reductive amination of carbonyl compounds. The high performance of the catalyst is attributed to the large fraction of metallic Ru serving as active sites with weak electron donating ability that prevail on the surface exposed {111} facets of flat-shaped fcc Ru nanoparticles. This catalyst exhibits a highest turnover frequency (TOF) of ca. 1850 h-1 for a model reductive amination of biomass derived furfural to furfurylamine and provides a reaction rate approximately six times higher than that of an efficient and selective support catalyst of Ru-deposited Nb2O5 (TOF: ca. 310 h-1).

- Switchable synthesis of furfurylamine and tetrahydrofurfurylamine from furfuryl alcohol over RANEY nickel
-
RANEY Ni proved to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for switchable reductive amination of furfuryl alcohol to tetrahydrofurfurylamine and furfurylamine with NH3 by simply adding or not adding 1.0 MPa H2 into the reaction bulk. After further optimization of the reaction conditions, we finally obtained 94.0% yield of tetrahydrofurfurylamine and 78.8% yield of furfurylamine with high selectivity. By extensively studying the catalytic pathways and mechanism of catalyst deactivation with XRD and XPS characterization, we have confirmed that an excess amount of H2 in the reaction bulk leads to the deep hydrogenation of the furan ring while an insufficient amount of H2 leads to the formation of Ni3N and the deactivation of the catalyst.

- Electronic Effect of Ruthenium Nanoparticles on Efficient Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds
-
Highly selective synthesis of primary amines over heterogeneous catalysts is still a challenge for the chemical industry. Ruthenium nanoparticles supported on Nb2O5 act as a highly selective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the low-temperature reductive amination of various carbonyl compounds that contain reduction-sensitive functional groups such as heterocycles and halogens with NH3 and H2 and prevent the formation of secondary amines and undesired hydrogenated byproducts. The selective catalysis of these materials is likely attributable to the weak electron-donating capability of Ru particles on the Nb2O5 surface. The combination of this catalyst and homogeneous Ru systems was used to synthesize 2,5-bis(aminomethyl)furan, a monomer for aramid production, from 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural without a complex mixture of imine byproducts.

- Furfurylamines from biomass: Transaminase catalysed upgrading of furfurals
-
Furfural is recognised as an attractive platform molecule for the production of solvents, plastics, resins and fuel additives. Furfurylamines have many applications as monomers in biopolymer synthesis and for the preparation of pharmacologically active compounds, although preparation via traditional synthetic routes is not straightforward due to by-product formation and sensitivity of the furan ring to reductive conditions. In this work transaminases (TAms) have been investigated as a mild sustainable method for the amination of furfural and derivatives to access furfurylamines. Preliminary screening with a recently reported colorimetric assay highlighted that a range of furfurals were readily accepted by several transaminases and the use of different amine donors was then investigated. Multistep synthetic routes were required to synthesise furfurylamine derivatives for use as analytical standards, highlighting the benefits of using a one step biocatalytic route. To demonstrate the potential of using TAms for the production of furfurals, the amination of selected compounds was then investigated on a preparative scale.

- NHC-based coordination polymers as solid molecular catalysts for reductive amination of biomass levulinic acid
-
A class of robust solid molecular NHC-based catalysts were readily fabricated via self-assembly from a p-phenylene-bridged bis-benzimidazolium salt with selected metal precursors. Among them, the NHC-Ru polymer demonstrated high catalytic activity and excellent stability as a solid molecular catalyst for the solvent-free reductive amination of biomass levulinic acid with inexpensive ammonium formate, furnishing a challenging unprotected 5-methyl-2-pyrrolidone quantitatively at a 0.15 mol% catalyst loading. The solid catalyst was readily recovered and reused for 37 runs without obvious loss of activity. Remarkably, a TON value up to 6.7 × 104 was achieved in a molar-scale reaction with a catalyst loading at 0.001 mol%. Inspired by the results of a preliminary mechanistic study, notably, one-pot tandem reductive reactions of LA with aldehydes or ketones were successfully developed, affording a variety of structurally intriguing and functional N-substituted 5-methyl-2-pyrrolidones in high chemo-selectivity with good to excellent yields.

A series of seven novel NImNHP-type pincer imidazolylphosphine ruthenium complexes has been synthesized and fully characterized. The use of hydrogenation of benzonitrile as a benchmark test identified [RuHCl(CO)(NImNHPtBu)] as the most active catalyst. With its stable Ru-BH4 analogue, in which chloride is replaced by BH4, a broad range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic nitriles, including industrially interesting adiponitrile, has been hydrogenated under mild and base-free conditions.

- Stable and Inert Cobalt Catalysts for Highly Selective and Practical Hydrogenation of C≡N and C=O Bonds
-
Novel heterogeneous cobalt-based catalysts have been prepared by pyrolysis of cobalt complexes with nitrogen ligands on different inorganic supports. The activity and selectivity of the resulting materials in the hydrogenation of nitriles and carbonyl compounds is strongly influenced by the modification of the support and the nitrogen-containing ligand. The optimal catalyst system ([Co(OAc)2/Phenα-Al2O3]-800 = Cat. E) allows for efficient reduction of both aromatic and aliphatic nitriles including industrially relevant dinitriles to primary amines under mild conditions. The generality and practicability of this system is further demonstrated in the hydrogenation of diverse aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic ketones as well as aldehydes, which are readily reduced to the corresponding alcohols.

- Selective Catalytic Hydrogenations of Nitriles, Ketones, and Aldehydes by Well-Defined Manganese Pincer Complexes
-
Hydrogenations constitute fundamental processes in organic chemistry and allow for atom-efficient and clean functional group transformations. In fact, the selective reduction of nitriles, ketones, and aldehydes with molecular hydrogen permits access to a green synthesis of valuable amines and alcohols. Despite more than a century of developments in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, efforts toward the creation of new useful and broadly applicable catalyst systems are ongoing. Recently, Earth-abundant metals have attracted significant interest in this area. In the present study, we describe for the first time specific molecular-defined manganese complexes that allow for the hydrogenation of various polar functional groups. Under optimal conditions, we achieve good functional group tolerance, and industrially important substrates, e.g., for the flavor and fragrance industry, are selectively reduced.

- Monocyclic β-lactam and unexpected oxazinone formation: synthesis, crystal structure, docking studies and antibacterial evaluation
-
Novel monocyclic β-lactam derivatives bearing aryl, phenyl and heterocyclic rings were synthesized as possible antibacterial agents. Cyclization of imines (3h, 3t) with phenylacetic acid in the presence of phosphoryl chloride and triethyl amine did not afford the expected β-lactams. Instead, highly substituted 1,3-oxazin-4-ones (4h, 4t) were isolated as the only product and confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis of 4t. The results of antibacterial activity showed that compound 4l exhibited considerable antibacterial activity with MIC and MBC values of 62.5 μg/mL against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Cytotoxicity assay on Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line revealed non-cytotoxic behavior of compounds 4d, 4h, 4k and 4l up to 200 μg/mL conc. Molecular docking was performed for compound 4l with penicillin binding protein-5 to identify the nature of interactions. The results of both in silico and in vitro evaluation provide the basis for compound 4l to be carried as a potential lead molecule in the drug discovery pipeline against bacterial infections.

- Reductive amination of furfural to furfurylamine using aqueous ammonia solution and molecular hydrogen: An environmentally friendly approach
-
A simple and highly efficient method was developed for the transformation of furfural (a biomass derived aldehyde) to furfurylamine by reductive amination using an aqueous solution of ammonia and molecular hydrogen as an amine source and a reducing agent, respectively. By choosing a suitable catalyst, such as Rh/Al2O3, and reaction conditions, a very high selectivity of furfurylamine (~92%) can be achieved within the reaction time of 2 h at 80 °C. A detailed analysis of the reaction system sheds some light on the reaction pathway and provides an understanding about each elementary step. The reaction was believed to proceed via an imine pathway although no such intermediate was detected because of the highly reactive nature. Optimization of different reaction parameters such as hydrogen pressure, temperature and substrate/ammonia mole ratio is shown to be critical to achieve high selectivity of furfurylamine. Time-dependent reaction profiles suggested that a Schiff base type intermediate was in the detectable range, which offers indirect evidence of the formation of imine. Competitive hydrogenation and amination of an aldehyde group were strongly dictated by the nature of the metal used. The studied protocol represents an environmentally benign process for amine synthesis, which can be effectively extended to the other aldehydes also. The studied catalyst could be recycled successfully without any significant loss of catalytic activity.

- SYNTHESIS OF AMIDES AND AMINES FROM ALDEHYDES OR KETONES BY HETEROGENEOUS METAL CATALYSIS
-
This invention concerns the first mild and efficient synthesis of primary amines and amides from aldehydes or ketones using a heterogeneous metal catalystand amine donor. The initial heterogeneous metal- catalyzed reaction between the carbonyl and the amine donor components is followed up with the addition of a suitable acylating agent component in one-pot. Hence, the present invention provides a novel catalytic one-pot three-component synthesis of amides. Moreover, the integration of enzyme catalysis allows for eco-friendly one-pot co-catalytic synthesis ofamides from aldehyde and ketone substrates, respectively. The process can be applied to the co-catalytic one-pot three-component synthesis of capsaicin and its analogues from vanillin or vanillyl alcohol. It can also be applied for asymmetric synthesis. In the present invention, a novel co-catalytic reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution (dkr) relay sequence for the asymmetric synthesis of optically active amides from ketones is disclosed. Moreover, implementation of a catalytic reductive amination/kinetic resolution (kr) relay sequence produces the corresponding optically active amide product and optical active primary amine product with the opposite stereochemistry from the starting ketones.

- Reductive amination of furfural toward furfurylamine with aqueous ammonia under hydrogen over Ru-supported catalyst
-
Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)-capped ruthenium-supported hydroxyapatite (Ru-PVP/HAP) shows significant activity for the synthesis of furfurylamine (FAM) via the reductive amination of furfural. As-prepared 5 wt% Ru-PVP/HAP affords 50 % yield of FAM in 25 % NH3 aqueous solution under pressurized H2 gas (2.5 atm), and the highest yield approaches 60 % at 4.0 H2 atm. Comparison between the activities over four Ru-supported HAP catalysts prepared with different methods and the results of X-ray absorption spectroscopy suggested that the metallic Ru cluster is the active center for the reductive amination of furfural. Transmission electron microscope and inductively-coupled plasma analysis indicated that the as-prepared 5 wt% Ru-PVP/HAP catalyst possessed 4.0 wt% PVP-capped Ru clusters with average diameter of 1.7 ± 0.3 nm on HAP support. It was also demonstrated that the reductive amination approach with Ru-PVP/HAP catalyst, NH3 aq. and pressurized H2 gas has capability for transformation of aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding aromatic amines. According to these results, it is concluded that Ru(0) cluster supported on HAP will represent a suitable catalyst for widely-usable reductive amination to convert an aldehyde functionality towards an amine.

- Integrated Heterogeneous Metal/Enzymatic Multiple Relay Catalysis for Eco-Friendly and Asymmetric Synthesis
-
Organic synthesis is in general performed using stepwise transformations where isolation and purification of key intermediates is often required prior to further reactions. Herein we disclose the concept of integrated heterogeneous metal/enzymatic multiple relay catalysis for eco-friendly and asymmetric synthesis of valuable molecules (e.g., amines and amides) in one-pot using a combination of heterogeneous metal and enzyme catalysts. Here reagents, catalysts, and different conditions can be introduced throughout the one-pot procedure involving multistep catalytic tandem operations. Several novel cocatalytic relay sequences (reductive amination/amidation, aerobic oxidation/reductive amination/amidation, reductive amination/kinetic resolution and reductive amination/dynamic kinetic resolution) were developed. They were next applied to the direct synthesis of various biologically and optically active amines or amides in one-pot from simple aldehydes, ketones, or alcohols, respectively.

We report here a novel, one-pot, two-step reductive amination of aldehydes for the atom-economical synthesis of primary amines. The amination step has been carried out with hydroxylammonium chloride and does not require the use of a base. In the subsequent reduction step, a metal zinc/hydrochloride acid system has been used. This method is applicable to both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. The operational simplicity, the short reaction times, and the mild reaction conditions add to the value of this method as a practical alternative to the reductive amination of aldehydes. Copyright

- Reduction of nitriles to amines with H2 catalyzed by nonclassical ruthenium hydrides - Water-promoted selectivity for primary amines and mechanistic investigations
-
Catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to amines by nonclassical ruthenium hydride complexes derived from PNP pincer ligands is described. Aromatic as well as aliphatic nitriles are reduced to the corresponding primary amines. Hydrogen pressure influences the selectivity for the primary amines. The mechanism of nitrile reduction with nonclassical ruthenium hydride pincer complexes is investigated by DFT calculations. A catalytic cycle involving the coordination of nitrile trans to the pincer backbone after an initial hydride rearrangement at the ruthenium center, and the subsequent first transfer of the hydride ligand to the carbon center of the nitrile ligand is suggested as a possible reaction mechanism. Interestingly, the use of water as additive increases the selectivity for the primary amines and the rate of the reactions. Selective synthesis of primary amines by the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles with nonclassical ruthenium hydride pincer complexes is reported. Use of water as additive increases the selectivity and rate of the reactions. Possible catalytic cycles were identified for this important reaction of industrial significance by means of DFT calculations. Copyright
