- Zirconium-hydride-catalyzed site-selective hydroboration of amides for the synthesis of amines: Mechanism, scope, and application
-
Developing mild and efficient catalytic methods for the selective synthesis of amines is a longstanding research objective. In this respect, catalytic deoxygenative amide reduction has proven to be promising but challenging, as this approach necessitates selective C–O bond cleavage. Herein, we report the selective hydroboration of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides at room temperature catalyzed by an earth-abundant-metal catalyst, Zr-H, for accessing diverse amines. Various readily reducible functional groups, such as esters, alkynes, and alkenes, were well tolerated. Furthermore, the methodology was extended to the synthesis of bio- and drug-derived amines. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed a reaction pathway entailing aldehyde and amido complex formation via an unusual C–N bond cleavage-reformation process, followed by C–O bond cleavage.

- Reaction of Diisobutylaluminum Borohydride, a Binary Hydride, with Selected Organic Compounds Containing Representative Functional Groups
-
The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

- Desymmetric enantioselective reduction of cyclic 1,3-diketones catalyzed by a recyclable p-chiral phosphinamide organocatalyst
-
The P-stereogenic phosphinamides are a structurally novel skeletal class which has not been investigated as chiral organocatalysts. However, chiral cyclic 3-hydroxy ketones are widely used as building blocks in the synthesis of natural products and bioactive compounds. However, general and practical methods for the synthesis of such chiral compounds remain underdeveloped. Herein, we demonstrate that the P-stereogenic phosphinamides are powerful organocatalysts for the desymmetric enantioselective reduction of cyclic 1,3-diketones, providing a useful method for the synthesis of chiral cyclic 3-hydroxy ketones. The protocol displays a broad substrate scope that is amenable to a series of cyclic 2,2-disubstituted five- and six-membered 1,3-diketones. The chiral cyclic 3-hydroxy ketone products bearing an all-carbon chiral quaternary center could be obtained with high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1 dr). Most importantly, the reactions could be practically performed on the gram scale and the catalysts could be reused without compromising the catalytic efficiency. Mechanistic studies revealed that an intermediate formed from P-stereogenic phosphinamide and catecholborane is the real catalytically active species. The results disclosed herein bode well for designing and developing other reactions using P-stereogenic phosphinamides as new organocatalysts.

- Simplified preparation of a graphene-co-shelled Ni/NiO@C nano-catalyst and its application in theN-dimethylation synthesis of amines under mild conditions
-
The development of Earth-abundant, reusable and non-toxic heterogeneous catalysts to be applied in the pharmaceutical industry for bio-active relevant compound synthesis remains an important goal of general chemical research.N-methylated compounds, as one of the most essential bioactive compounds, have been widely used in the fine and bulk chemical industries for the production of high-value chemicals. Herein, an environmentally friendly and simplified method for the preparation of graphene encapsulated Ni/NiO nanoalloy catalysts (Ni/NiO@C) was developed for the first time, for the highly selective synthesis ofN-methylated compounds using various functional amines and aldehydes under easy to handle, and industrially applicable conditions. A large number of primary and secondary amines (more than 70 examples) could be converted to the correspondingN,N-dimethylamines with the participation of different functional aldehydes, with an average yield of over 95%. A gram-scale synthesis also demonstrated a similar yield when compared with the benchmark test. In addition, it was further proved that the catalyst could easily be recycled because of its intrinsic magnetism and reused up to 10 times without losing its activity and selectivity. Also, for the first time, the tandem synthesis ofN,N-dimethylamine products in a one-pot process, using only a single earth-abundant metal catalyst, whose activity and selectivity were more than 99% and 94%, respectively, for all tested substrates, was developed. Overall, the advantages of this newly developed method include operational simplicity, high stability, easy recyclability, cost-effectiveness of the catalyst, and good functional group compatibility for the synthesis ofN-methylation products as well as the industrially applicable tandem synthesis process.

- Reductive Alkylation of Azides and Nitroarenes with Alcohols: A Selective Route to Mono- And Dialkylated Amines
-
Herein, we demonstrated an efficient protocol for reductive alkylation of azides/nitro compounds via a borrowing hydrogen (BH) method. By following this protocol, selective mono- and dialkylated amines were obtained under mild and solvent-free conditions. A series of control experiments and deuterium-labeling experiments were performed to understand this catalytic process. Mechanistic studies suggested that the Ir(III)-H was the active intermediate in this reaction. KIE study revealed that the breaking of the C-H bond of alcohol might be the rate-limiting step. Notably, this solvent-free strategy disclosed a high TON of around 5600. Based on kinetic studies and control experiments, a metal-ligand cooperative mechanism was proposed.

Homoleptic lanthanide complex Y[N(TMS)2]3 is an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the hydroboration reduction of secondary amides and tertiary amides to corresponding amines. A series of amides containing different functional groups such as cyano, nitro, and vinyl groups were found to be well-tolerated. This transformation has also been nicely applied to the synthesis of indoles and piribedil. Detailed isotopic labeling experiments, control experiments, and kinetic studies provided cumulative evidence to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

- Diethylsilane as a Powerful Reagent in Au Nanoparticle-Catalyzed Reductive Transformations
-
Diethylsilane (Et2SiH2), a simple and readily available dihydrosilane, that exhibits superior reactivity, as compared to monohydrosilanes, in a series of reductive transformations catalyzed by recyclable and reusable Au nanoparticles (1 mol-%) supported on TiO2. It reduces aldehydes or ketones almost instantaneously at ambient conditions. It can be used in a one pot rapid reductive amination procedure, in which premixing of aldehyde and amine is required prior to the addition of the reducing agent and the catalyst, even in a protic solvent. An unprecedented method for the synthesis of N-arylisoindolines is also shown in the reductive amination between o-phthalaldehyde and anilines. In this transformation, it is proposed that the intermediate N,2-diphenylisoindolin-1-imines are reduced stepwise to the isoindolines. Finally, Et2SiH2 readily reduces amides into amines in excellent yields and shorter reaction times relative to previously known analogous nano Au(0)-catalyzed protocols.

- Ultrasound-assisted construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction with g-C3N4 nanosheets and flower-like Bi2WO6 microspheres and the photocatalytic activity in the coupling reaction between alcohols and amines under visible light irradiation
-
Flower-like Bi2WO6 microspheres and bulk g-C3N4 were prepared by the hydrothermal method and high-temperature calcining method, respectively. A new method based on the combination of ultrasonic stripping and mechanical stirring was used to obtain uniform composite x-Bi2WO6/g-C3N4 (x is the Bi2WO6 mass ratio) photocatalysts with a Z-scheme heterojunction. In the reaction of benzyl alcohol and aniline to form imine, the optimal composite, 30percent-Bi2WO6/g-C3N4, showed a conversion rate of 87.6percent, which is much higher than that of pure Bi2WO6 and g-C3N4. Characterization by SEM and TEM showed that the ultrasonically stripped g-C3N4 significantly reduced the radial dimension compared to bulk g-C3N4. A uniformly dispersed photocatalytic material was formed, and it maintained a flower-like microsphere structure. Materials characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET) showed that the specific surface area of the g-C3N4 nanosheets increased by approximately ten times after ultrasonic stripping. The photostability of the composite was verified by cyclic experiments. Under visible light irradiation, the activation energy of the coupling reaction between benzyl alcohol and aniline was found to be decreased by 29.8 kJ mol?1. A capture experiment was used to verify the active species in the photocatalytic system, with the reaction found to be mainly completed through the synergistic action of h+, e? and ?O2?.

- Rhodium-Catalysed Reductive Amination for the Synthesis of Tertiary Amines
-
A procedure for the synthesis of tertiary amines via reductive amination of aldehydes with molecular hydrogen as a reducing agent using homogeneous rhodium catalysis is presented. Using an amine to aldehyde ratio of 4/1 enabled the synthesis of tertiary amines from nine different aldehydes and nine different secondary amines with selectivities up to 99% and turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 7200 h?1. The reaction showed a high tolerance against alcohol and ester functions allowing the formation of multifunctional molecules. In addition, secondary amines can also be produced by this synthesis. For all compounds, activities were determined by hydrogen gas-uptake. In order to increase the sustainability and efficiency of the procedure, a dosing strategy has been successfully developed. Using the determined reaction indicators enabled the stoichiometric use of aldehydes and amines without significant loss of selectivity. (Figure presented.).

Reduction of different functionalities, including nitro groups and imines, was applied to tandem reductive amination of aldehydes with primary and secondary amines, and to the synthesis of N-substituted anilines from nitrobenzene. In addition, thiolate-capped RhNPs could be recovered and reused up to 5 runs without loss of activity nor selectivity.

A variety of tertiary amides with a broad functional groups were reduced to the corresponding tertiary amines in the presence of 2 mol% of AuNPore and PheMe2SiH or (Me2SiH)2O under mild conditions. AuNPore catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and used for twelve times without any loss of catalytic activity. The AuNPore/hydrosilane system was also successfully applied to the hydrosilative reduction of sulfoxides and N-oxides. (Figure presented.).

- Continuous flow synthesis of amines from the cascade reactions of nitriles and carbonyl-containing compounds promoted by Pt-modified titania catalysts
-
The effective design of an active and stable catalytic system was performed by a simple modification of a commercial titania with a low platinum loading. The prepared material was fully characterized by XRD, XPS, N2 adsorption-desorption measurements, ICP-MS, TEM and SEM analyses. Such techniques corroborated the successful incorporation of Pt onto the titania surface, without affecting its original structure, morphology and chemical nature. The obtained TiO2-Pt catalyst was effectively applied in several continuous flow reactions between nitriles and carbonyl containing compounds for amine preparation. Remarkably, conversion of levulinic acid, a biomass derived molecule, was achieved with outstanding conversion (87%) and selectivity (80%) to 1-ethyl-5-methylpyrrolidin-2-one. The catalytic system demonstrated a high stability through 120 min of reaction. Moreover, the effect of the nitrile was investigated by performing the reaction with benzonitrile and ethylcyanoacetate. The TiO2-Pt catalyst was also tested in the conversion of benzaldehyde, displaying remarkable results. The influence of substitution in the aromatic ring was investigated using p-nitro-benzaldehyde and p-chloro-benzaldehyde.

This new methodology, reported herein, works well for reduction of tertiary aliphatic and aromatic amides as well as lactams to the corresponding amines and product isolation and purification does not require column chromatography.

Representative tertiary amines were linked to the 8-cyano-7-hydroxyquinolinyl (CyHQ) photoremovable protecting group (PPG) to create photoactivatable forms suitable for use in studying cell physiology. The photoactivation of tamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen, which can be used to activate Cre recombinase and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, demonstrated that highly efficient release of bioactive molecules could be achieved through one- and two-photon excitation (1PE and 2PE). CyHQ-protected anilines underwent a photoaza-Claisen rearrangement instead of releasing amines. Time-resolved spectroscopic studies revealed that photorelease of the tertiary amines was extremely fast, occurring from a singlet excited state of CyHQ on the 70 ps time scale.

- Controlled Reduction of Tertiary Amides to the Corresponding Alcohols, Aldehydes, or Amines Using Dialkylboranes and Aminoborohydride Reagents
-
Dialkylboranes and aminoborohydrides are mild, selective reducing agents complementary to the commonly utilized amide reducing agents, such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) and diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) reagents. Tertiary amides were reduced using 1 or 2 equiv of various dialkylboranes. The reduction of tertiary amides required 2 equiv of 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) for complete reduction to give the corresponding tertiary amines. One equivalent of sterically hindered disiamylborane reacts with tertiary amides to afford the corresponding aldehydes. Aminoborohydrides are powerful and selective reducing agents for the reduction of tertiary amides. Lithium dimethylaminoborohydride and lithium diisopropylaminoborohydride are prepared from n-butyllithium and the corresponding amine-borane. Chloromagnesium dimethylaminoborohydride (ClMg+[H3B-NMe2]-, MgAB) is prepared by the reaction of dimethylamine-borane with methylmagnesium chloride. Solutions of aminoborohydride reduce aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic tertiary amides to give the corresponding alcohol, amine, or aldehyde depending on the steric requirement of the tertiary amide and the aminoborohydride used.

- Unsupported Nanoporous Gold Catalyst for Chemoselective Hydrogenation Reactions under Low Pressure: Effect of Residual Silver on the Reaction

For the first time, H-H dissociation on an unsupported nanoporous gold (AuNPore) surface is reported for chemoselective hydrogenation of C=C, C=C, C=N, and C=O bonds under mild conditions (8 atm H2 pressure, 90 °C). Silver doping in AuNPore, which was inevitable for its preparation through a process of dealloying of Au-Ag alloy, exhibited a remarkable difference in catalytic activity between two catalysts, Au>99Ag1NPore and Au90Ag10NPore.The former was more active and the latter less active in H2 hydrogenation, while the reverse tendency was observed for O2 oxidation. This marked contrast between H2 reduction and O2 oxidation is discussed. Further, Au>99Ag1NPore showed a high chemoselectivity toward reduction of terminal alkynes in the presence of internal alkynes which was not achieved using supported gold nanoparticle catalysts and other previously known methods. Reductive amination, which has great significance in synthesis of amines due to its atom-economical nature, was also realized using Au>99Ag1NPore, and the Au>99Ag1NPore/H2 system showed a preference for the reduction of aldehydes in the presence of imines. In addition to this high chemoselectivity, easy recovery and high reusability of AuNPore make it a promising heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation reactions.

- A convenient and general reduction of amides to amines with low-valent titanium
-
Low-valent titanium readily prepared in situ from TiCl4 and Mg powder in THF is found to be an active agent for the reduction of amides which were previously considered to be inert towards low-valent titanium. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions, and is applicable to all types of amides, primary, secondary and tertiary, to produce the corresponding amines in good to excellent yields. This new finding provides a practical, convenient and general method for the important transformation of amides to amines. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.

- Photocatalytic hydrodenitrogenation of aromatic cyanides on TiO2 loaded with Pd nanoparticles
-
Photocatalytic hydrodenitrogenation of aromatic cyanides has been carried out on TiO2 loaded with Pd nanoparticles (Pd-TiO2) in the presence of ethanol as a hydrogen source. Photoirradiation of Pd-TiO2 at λ > 300 nm in ethanol containing aromatic cyanides successfully produces the corresponding toluene derivatives and triethylamine with almost quantitative yields. Photoexcited Pd-TiO2 catalysts promote oxidation of ethanol and reduction of protons, producing acetaldehyde and hydrogen atoms on the surface of Pd particles (H-Pd species). Aromatic cyanides undergo hydrodenitrogenation via consecutive reactions involving hydrogenation by the H-Pd species and condensation with aldehydes. The catalytic activity strongly depends on the amount of Pd loaded. The catalyst containing 2 wt% Pd, with a relatively low Schottky barrier height at the Pd-TiO2 heterojunction and a large number of surface Pd atoms, exhibits the highest denitrogenation activity.

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

- N-alkylation of amines by homogeneous ruthenium complexes in the presence of free diphosphines
-
Chemoselective N-alkylation of amines by ruthenium complexes in the presence of free diphosphine ligands under mild conditions is described. Octyl amine and aniline were chosen as aliphatic and aromatic amines to investigate the effect of different phosphines, reaction times, and temperature on conversion, as well as selectivity towards related secondary and tertiary amines. After optimization of the reaction conditions, this catalytic system was used for N-alkylation of other amines and has shown moderate to very good yields. The reaction products were monitored by GC-MS. The crystal structure of [Ru(NO3)2CO(PPh3)2] with a monodentate and a bidentate nitrate was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

- Intermolecular rhodium-catalysed hydroamination of non-activated olefins: Effect of olefin, amine, phosphine and phosphonium salt
-
The catalytic system RhCl3·3H2O/2P(p-CH3C6H4)3/65nBu4PI/2I2, which was discovered recently in our research group, allows the highest catalytic activity ever reported for the intermolecular hydroamination of ethylene, 1-butene, and 1-hexene with aniline-type amines (0.3 mol% catalytic precursor) to give the expected N-alkyl- (N-ethyl-, 1) and N,N-dialkyl-anilines (N,N-diethyl-, 2) along with 2-methyl quinolines (3; in the case of ethylene). The effects of time and temperature, as well as the nature of the phosphonium salt, phosphine, and amine on the catalytic activity of this reaction have been studied. This system is particularly efficient for the hydroamination of ethylene with aniline in the presence of 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)- 1,1′-binaphthyl (CE=460) and tri(p-tolyl)phosphine (CE= 520). Good to excellent activities were also found by combining Wilkinson′s catalysts (RhI complexes) with nBu4PI and I2. The simple association of PPh3 and I2 has been shown to be a very efficient "in-situ generated" source of I- promoters. CE (catalytic efficiency)=TON1+2TON2+2TON3.

- Coupling of two multistep catalytic cycles for the one-pot synthesis of propargylamines from alcohols and primary amines on a nanoparticulated gold catalyst
-
A one-pot reaction was performed with a nanoparticulated gold catalyst. A secondary amine is formed through N-monoalkylation of a primary amine with an alcohol by a borrowing hydrogen methodology in a three-step reaction. The secondary amine formed enters into a second A3-coupling cycle to give propargylamines. The multistep reaction requires a gold species formed and stabilized on a ceria surface. Copyright

- C-N Coupling of nitrogen nucleophiles with aryl and heteroaryl bromides using aminoarenethiolato-copper(I) (pre-)catalyst
-
The activity of a library of 2-aminoarenethiolato-copper(I) (CuSAr) (pre-)catalyst was explored in the arylation reaction of amines and N-containing heterocycles with aryl and heteroaryl bromides, respectively. These CuSAr pre-catalysts are thermally stable, are soluble in common organic solvents and show good catalytic activities in these N-arylation reactions with catalyst loadings amounting to 2.5 mol %. The targeted C-N coupling products were obtained in moderate to good yields (40-97%) for a variety of substrates.

- Electrochemically promoted C-N bond formation from amines and CO 2 in ionic liquid BMIm-BF4: Synthesis of carbamates
-
A new electrochemical procedure for the synthesis of organic carbamates from amines and carbon dioxide has been developed using selective cathodic reduction of carbon dioxide in CO2-saturated room-temperature ionic liquid BMIm-BF4 solutions containing amines 1a-j, followed by addition of EtI as an alkylating agent. The synthesis was carried out under mild (PCO2 = 1.0 atm, t = 55 °C) and safe conditions, and the use of volatile and toxic solvents and catalysts (according to the growing demand for ecofriendly synthetic methodologies), as well as of any supporting electrolyte (for a very easy workup of the reaction mixture), was avoided. Carbamates 2a-j were isolated in good to high yields.
