- Selective C-C bonds formation, N-alkylation and benzo[d]imidazoles synthesis by a recyclable zinc composite
-
Earth abundant metals are much less expensive, promising, valuable metals and could be served as catalysts for the borrowing hydrogen reaction, dehydrogenation and heterocycles synthesis, instead of noble metals. The uniformly dispersed zinc composites were designed, synthesized and carefully characterized by means of XPS, EDS, TEM and XRD. The resulting zinc composite showed good catalytic activity for the N-alkylation of amines with amines, ketones with alcohols in water under base-free conditions, while unsaturated carbonyl compounds could also be synthesized by tuning the reaction conditions. Importantly, it was the first time to realize the synthesis of 2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives by using this zinc composite under green conditions. Meanwhile, this zinc catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for at least five times.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

-
A novel electrochemical synthesis protocol has been achieved for reductive amination between aldehydes and amines in undivided cells at room temperature. Under metal-free and external-reductant-free electrolysis conditions, various important secondary amine products are obtained in moderate-to-high yields. Deuterium-labeling experiments have demonstrated that low-toxicity DMSO acts both as a solvent and a H-donor in the reaction. On this basis, various deuterium-labeled products with good-to-excellent D-incorporation have been synthesized by using DMSO-d6 as a solvent. Furthermore, a molecule with GR-antagonistic activity has been synthesized through further sulfonylation.

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.

A variety of aniline derivatives, including heteroaromatic amines, underwent the N-alkylation reaction and furnished the corresponding monoalkylated products in good to excellent yields. The application of the reaction is also further demonstrated by the synthesis of a 2-phenylquinoline derivative from acetophenone and 2-aminobenzyl alcohol.

A highly sustainable catalytic protocol for the coupling of alcohols and amines for selective monoalkylated amines using Ni(II)-NΛNΛO pincer type complexes through the borrowing hydrogen methodology is described. An array of Ni(II) catalysts (1-3) was synthesized and characterized by various spectral and analytical methods. Furthermore, the distorted square planar geometry of the complexes (1 and 2) was substantiated with single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The inexpensive nickel-based catalytic methodology displays a broad substrate scope for the N-alkylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines using a diverse range of primary alcohols with excellent yields up to 97%. The present approach is environmentally benign, which liberates water as the sole byproduct. A short synthesis of drug intermediates such as mepyramine and chloropyramine illustrates the utility of the present protocol.

Substituted benzylic alcohols and short/long chain aliphatic alcohols could be applied as the alkylation sources to couple with aromatic and heteroaromatic amines to give a diverse set of N-alkylation outcomes in moderate to excellent yields. The nickel catalytic system was also suitable for aliphatic amines, selectively delivering the corresponding imines via an acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation strategy.

- MOF-derived Ni?NC catalyst: Synthesis, characterization, and application in one-pot hydrogenation and reductive amination
-
MOF-derived catalysts with nickel nanoparticles (NPs) uniformly embedded in nitrogen doped carbon shells were developed by pyrolysis of nickel-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), in which amino groups were introduced to act as the nitrogen source and possible anchoring sites for Ni NPs. The resulting materials were characterized systematically. In the architecture of the catalysts, a core-shell structure was discovered, in which Ni NPs with a diameter of 6-7 nm were surrounded by N doped graphitic layers, indicating that the introduction of amino groups into precursors is beneficial to the dispersion of NPs. One-step hydrogenation and reductive amination (OHRA) is a promising route to produce secondary amines, which avoids tedious separation of intermediates. Accordingly, we applied the prepared composites as catalysts to OHRA of benzaldehyde with nitrobenzene. Among them, the catalyst pyrolyzed at 600 °C for 1.5 h exhibited the best catalytic performance (conversion: >99%, selectivity for N-benzylaniline: 97.96%) and excellent recyclability. N-doping remarkably promotes the dispersion and stability of Ni NPs, thus improving their catalytic activity and selectivity. Furthermore, the Ni-N species as well as synergism of Ni NPs and adjacent pyridinic N may also facilitate the activation of H2. And its excellent stability and recyclability can be attributed to the core-shell structure. The achieved success in MOF-derived nanocomposites may pave the way for further industrial applications.

- Alcohol Amination Catalyzed by Copper Powder as a Self-Supported Catalyst

Catalytic alcohol amination is a sustainable reaction for N-alkyl amine synthesis. Homogeneous and supported copper catalysts have long been studied for this reaction and have given some impressive results. In this study, copper powder is found to behave as an active catalyst for alcohol amination, giving better catalytic performance than metal-oxide-supported nanocopper catalysts. Catalyst characterization suggests that the copper powder can be considered as a self-supported nanocopper catalyst (i.e., nanocopper supported on copper particles). These results might promote the study of unsupported transition metal powders in sustainable catalytic reactions.

A novel unsymmetrical triazolyl-naphthyridinyl-pyridine ligand was designed and synthesized, and employed in the synthesis of a heterogeneous copper complex on reduced graphene oxide. The resulting copper composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). This supported copper catalyst containing unsymmetrical triazolyl-naphthyridinyl-pyridine (only 0.1 mol%) showed excellent catalytic activity in water with good recyclability. Various functionalized quinoline derivatives were successfully synthesized in high yields through the green strategy in water. Other heterocyclic compounds, such as pyridine, 2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline, 1,8-naphthyridine, 5,6-dihydronaphtho[1,2-b][1,8]naphthyridine and 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives, were achieved in water with more than 80% yields. Mechanism studies revealed that this transformation occurs via dehydrogenation, condensation, and transfer hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes which was supported by a deuterium labeling experiment.

- PdAu@MIL-100(Fe) cooperatively catalyze tandem reactions between amines and alcohols for efficient N-alkyl amines syntheses under visible light
-
PdAu@MIL-100(Fe), with PdAu alloy nanoparticles of ca. 1.7 nm encapsulated inside MIL-100(Fe) cavities, were prepared via a double-solvent impregnation followed by photoreduction. As compared with bare Pd@MIL-100(Fe), bimetallic PdAu@MIL-100(Fe) showed superior activities for the tandem reactions between amines and alcohols to produce N-alkyl amines under visible-light irradiation, ascribed to the promoting effect of metallic Au in the photocatalytic alcohol-to-aldehyde dehydrogenation. A Pd/Au ratio dependent N-alkylation activity was observed over PdAu@MIL-100(Fe), implying the possibility of synchronizing the reaction rates of two consecutive steps in the N-alkylation reaction, i.e., photocatalytic alcohol-to-aldehyde dehydrogenation and imines hydrogenation, to optimize the whole reaction. This study provides a highly efficient and stable catalytic system for the realization of alkylation of amines via a successful coupling of MOF-based photocatalysis and metal nanoparticle-based hydrogenation. This work also demonstrates that the reaction rates of different catalytic steps in a cascade/tandem reaction can be synchronized for an efficient overall reaction via a rational design of the multifunctional catalysts.

- 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.

Iridium particles were well dispersed and stable in the N-doped carbon materials from [MCNI]Cl with activated carbon. The Ir@NC(600-2h) catalyst was found to be highly active and selective for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones using H2 and a variety of nitrobenzenes and amines were selectively converted into the corresponding secondary and tertiary amines. The Ir@NC(600-2h) catalyst can be reusable several times without evident deactivation.

First-row transition-metal complexes hold great potential as catalysts for hydrogenations and related reductive reactions. Homo- and heteroleptic arene/alkene metalates(1?) (M=Co, Fe) are a structurally distinct catalyst class with good activities in hydrogenations of alkenes and alkynes. The first syntheses of the heteroleptic cobaltates [K([18]crown-6)][Co(η4-cod)(η2-styrene)2] (5) and [K([18]crown-6)][Co(η4-dct)(η4-cod)] (6), and the homoleptic complex [K(thf)2][Co(η4-dct)2] (7; dct=dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene, cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), are reported. For comparison, two cyclopentadienylferrates(1?) were synthesized according to literature procedures. The isolated and fully characterized monoanionic complexes were competent precatalysts in alkene hydrogenations under mild conditions (2 bar H2, r.t., THF). Mechanistic studies by NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, and poisoning experiments documented the operation of a homogeneous mechanism, which was initiated by facile redox-neutral π-ligand exchange with the substrates followed by H2 activation. The substrate scope of the investigated precatalysts was also extended to polar substrates (ketones and imines).

- Coupling MOF-based photocatalysis with Pd catalysis over Pd@MIL-100(Fe) for efficient N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under visible light

Pd nanoparticles with an average size of 1.7 nm confined inside a MIL-100(Fe) cavity (Pd@MIL-100(Fe)) were prepared via double-solvent impregnation combined with a photoreduction process. Due to efficient coupling of photocatalytic dehydrogenation and Pd-based hydrogenation, the resultant Pd@MIL-100(Fe) showed significantly superior performance in light-induced N-alkylation of amines with alcohols over Pd/MIL-100(Fe), in which larger Pd nanoparticles (6–12 nm) deposited on the external surface of MIL-100(Fe) were prepared via a conventional single-solvent impregnation followed by a similar photoreduction process. Kinetic studies and controlled experiments revealed that the whole N-alkylation reaction is limited by the photocatalytic alcohol-to-aldehyde dehydrogenation reaction. This is the first demonstration of light-induced N-alkylation of amines by alcohols over M/MOFs nanocomposites and also highlights the great potential of using M/MOFs nanocomposites as multifunctional catalysts for light-induced organic syntheses.

The heterogeneous catalytic reductive amination of carbonyl compounds has been achieved by reactions of ammonium hydroxide and various amines with ketones and aldehydes. The process is based on the application of Raney type Ni-Al alloy in an aqueous medium. The reaction of the carbonyl compounds with the amine provided the corresponding Schiff bases that immediately underwent a reduction to provide primary and secondary amines as products. The controlled reaction of the Al content of the alloy with the solvent water generates hydrogen, and the in situ formed Raney Ni serves as a hydrogenation catalyst. The method is a simple and efficient way of preparing a broad variety of primary and secondary amines.

This method has advantages of simple conditions, easy operation, and comparatively wider scope of substrates, providing an efficient and green catalyst-free-like alcohol-based dehydrative N-alkylation method. Mechanistic studies revealed that air initiated the reactions by aerobic oxidation of the alcohols to the key initiating aldehydes or ketones in the presence of bases.

- Method of producing higher amine (by machine translation)
-
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing a secondary or tertiary higher amine. SOLUTION: The method of producing a higher amine comprises allowing a primary or secondary amine to react with an alcohol in the presence of at least one species of hydrogen halide selected from hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide and hydrogen iodide, or in the presence of a compound capable of producing a hydrogen halide (such as 1,3,5-triazo-2,4,6-triphosphorine-2,2,4,4,6,6-chloride). If the raw material amine is a primary amine, a secondary higher amine and a tertiary higher amine can be produced. If the raw material amine is a secondary amine, a tertiary higher amine can be produced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT

- Programmed synthesis palladium supported on Fe3O4@C: An efficient and heterogeneous recyclable catalyst for one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes in aqueous reaction medium
-
A highly efficient Pd/Fe3O4@C catalytic system has been developed for direct reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with nitroarenes in aqueous reaction medium. The catalyst was characterized by TEM, XRD, XPS and VSM. It was found that the catalyst showed a high activity for the one-pot direct reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes in the presence of molecular hydrogen at mild temperature. Besides, the catalyst could be recovered in a facile manner from the reaction mixture and recycled six times without obvious loss in activity.

- Selective and recyclable rhodium nanocatalysts for the reductive N-alkylation of nitrobenzenes and amines with aldehydes
-
Rhodium nanocatalysts were prepared and applied for the reductive N-alkylation of nitrobenzenes and amines to the corresponding secondary amines with aldehydes and ketones. Functional nitrobenzenes, such as nitrobenzenes with F, Cl, Br, CH3O and CH3 were transformed to the corresponding secondary amines in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the Rh@CN catalyzed N-alkylation of a series of primary amines with aldehydes and ketones also gave the corresponding secondary amines in high yields. The Rh@CN is heterogeneous, and can be reusable several times (at least 4 times) for the reductive N-alkylation of nitroarenes.

- A conjugated ketone as a catalyst in alcohol amination reactions under transition-metal and hetero-atom free conditions
-
Here, we show the results of a molecular-defined conjugated ketone catalyzed alcohol amination reaction. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the yields to the desired products reached 98%. The reaction mechanism and kinetic study supposed that carbonyl-hydroxyl groups are the catalytically active sites, and the transfer-hydrogenation reactions progress via the recycling of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. The catalytic process shows promise as an efficient and economic route for alcohol amination reactions.

- Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols and Amines by a Single Catalyst under Mild Conditions
-
An efficient catalytic system for the alkylation of amines with either alcohols or amines under mild conditions has been developed, using cyclometallated iridium complexes as catalysts. The method has broad substrate scope, allowing for the synthesis of a diverse range of secondary and tertiary amines with good to excellent yields. By controlling the ratio of substrates, both mono- and bis-alkylated amines can be obtained with high selectivity. In particular, methanol can be used as the alkylating reagent, affording N-methylated products selectively. A strong solvent effect is observed for the reaction.

- Ordered hexagonal mesoporous aluminosilicates and their application in ligand-free synthesis of secondary amines
-
A new facile synthesis of ordered mesoporous aluminosilicates has been developed and applied for the efficient catalytic synthesis of N-benzyl secondary amines under ligand and base-free conditions. The MAS(38) catalyst with a well-ordered mesoporous structure and strong acidic sites was used for acid-catalyzed organic transformations and its operational simplicity and ease of its isolation procedure make it an attractive alternative to current methodologies. Get hexed! Mesoporous aluminosilicates were successfully synthesized and applied as ligand, base-free heterogeneous catalysts for C-N bond formation between benzyl alcohol and aniline for various N-benzyl secondary amines with excellent activity and selectivity.

-
A new approach to the synthesis of imidazolidin-2-ones by carbonylation of vicinal diamines with dialkyl carbonates using Pb(NO3)2 and Cu(ii) salts as catalysts has been described in the present protocol. A comparative study using Cu(ii) salts and Pb(NO3)2 as catalysts has suggested Cu(NO3)2 and CuCl 2·2H2O salts to be as promising as Pb(NO 3)2 and can replace the latter in the carbonylation reactions employing dialkyl carbonates. the Partner Organisations 2014.

-
An efficient catalyst-free, alternative method for the C-N bond formation reaction of alkyl electrophiles using formamides as the N-sources was achieved under mild conditions. The reaction possesses the advantages of a broad range of substrates scope and wide functional group tolerance. It should also be noted that this process was performed using the environmentally benign water as the sole solvent, and high yield can also be achieved in ten-gram scale.

- N-Alkylation of amines through hydrogen borrowing over a heterogeneous Cu catalyst
-
Substitution of alkylhalides for the synthesis of amines is a relevant target for synthetic chemists. Secondary amines can be obtained in a one pot-one step reaction from secondary and benzylic alcohols and aniline over a heterogeneous copper catalyst. The process does not require any additive, is intrinsically safe and produces no waste.

- Palladium supported on hollow magnetic mesoporous spheres as recoverable catalyst for one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes under mild conditions
-
We described here a method to stabilize Pd(0) on the surface of hollow magnetic mesoporous spheres (HMMS), with Fe3O4 nanoparticles embedded in the mesoporous shell. The catalyst was characterized by TEM, XRD and VSM. It was found that the catalyst showed a high activity for the one-pot direct reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes in the presence of molecular hydrogen in ethanol, even at room temperature. Besides, the catalyst could be recovered in a facile manner from the reaction mixture and recycled six times without loss in activity.

- Heteroatom-free arene-cobalt and arene-iron catalysts for hydrogenations
-
75 years after the discovery of hydroformylation, cobalt catalysts are now undergoing a renaissance in hydrogenation reactions. We have evaluated arene metalates in which the low-valent metal species is - conceptually different from heteroatom-based ligands - stabilized by π coordination to hydrocarbons. Potassium bis(anthracene)cobaltate 1 and -ferrate 2 can be viewed as synthetic precursors of quasi-"naked" anionic metal species; their aggregation is effectively impeded by (labile) coordination to the various π acceptors present in the hydrogenation reactions of unsaturated molecules (alkenes, arenes, carbonyl compounds). Kinetic studies, NMR spectroscopy, and poisoning studies of alkene hydrogenations support the formation of a homogeneous catalyst derived from 1 which is stabilized by the coordination of alkenes. This catalyst concept complements the use of complexes with heteroatom donor ligands for reductive processes. Especially high selectivities were observed in the hydrogenation of various alkenes, ketones, and imines with bis(anthracene) cobaltate(-I) [K(dme)2{Co(C14H10)2}] under mild conditions (1-5 mol% cat., 1-10 bar H2, 20-60°C). Mechanistic studies indicate the operation in alkene hydrogenations of a homogeneous catalyst formed by initial ligand exchange and stabilized by the coordination of π-acidic alkenes or arenes.

- N-Alkylation of amines with alcohols over nanosized zeolite beta
-
Direct N-alkylation of amines with alcohols was successfully performed by using nanosized zeolite beta, which showed the highest catalytic activity among other conventional zeolites. This method has several advantages, such as eco-friendliness, moderate to high yields, and simple work-up procedure. The catalyst was successfully recovered and reused without significant loss of activity and only water is produced as co-product. In addition, imines were also efficiently prepared from the tandem reactions of amines with 2-, 3- and 4-nitrobenzyl alcohols using nanosized zeolite beta.
