A mild transition-metal- and photosensitizer-free photoredox system based on the combination of NaI and PPh3 was found to enable highly selective reduction of nitroarenes. This protocol tolerates a broad range of reducible functional groups such as halogen (Cl, Br, and even I), aldehyde, ketone, carboxyl, and cyano. Moreover, the photoredox catalysis with NaI and stoichiometric PPh3 provides also an alternative entry to Cadogan-type reductive amination when o-nitrobiarenes were used.

Transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to the corresponding anilines using hydrazine hydrate and non-noble metal catalysts has already been widely studied. However, the toxicity resulting from excess hydrazine hydrate and the high reaction temperature limit its industrial application. Herein, a novel N-doped molybdenum oxide compound (Mo4O4N3) was in situ prepared from g-C3N4 and (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O (AHM). The as-prepared Mo4O4N3 can achieve a 99% yield of aniline using a stoichiometric molar ratio of hydrazine hydrate (-NO2?:?N2H4·H2O = 1?:?1.5) at room temperature for 50 minutes. Mechanistic experiments and characterization techniques indicate that the acidic sites of unsaturated Mo in Mo4O4N3 can efficiently activate N2H4 molecules to form active hydrogen species for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes without the generation of hazardous NH3. Besides, Mo4O4N3 still exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the large-scale reaction without solvent. This work may offer a feasible and efficient strategy for arylamine production.

Porous polymeric ligand promoted copper-catalyzed C-N coupling of (hetero)aryl chlorides under visible-light irradiation
Wang, Erfei,Chen, Kaixuan,Chen, Yinan,Zhang, Jiawei,Lin, Xinrong,Chen, Mao
, p. 17 - 21 (2020/11/04)
A porous polymeric ligand (PPL) has been synthesized and complexed with copper to generate a heterogeneous catalyst (Cu@PPL) that has facilitated the efficient C-N coupling with various (hetero)aryl chlorides under mild conditions of visible-light irradiation at 80 °C (58 examples, up to 99% yields). This method could be applied to both aqueous ammonia and substituted amines, and is compatible to a variety of functional groups and heterocycles, as well as allows tandem C-N couplings with conjunctive dihalides. Furthermore, the heterogeneous characteristic of Cu@PPL has enabled a straightforward catalyst separation in multiple times of recycling with negligible catalytic efficiency loss by simple filtration, affording reaction mixtures containing less than 1 ppm of Cu residue.

This Letter describes the development of a TiIII-mediated reaction for the C-H amination of arenes with hydroxylamine. This reaction is applied to a variety of electron-rich (hetero)arene substrates, including a series of natural products and pharmaceuticals. It offers the advantages of mild conditions (room temperature), fast reaction rates (30 min), compatibility with ambient moisture and air, scalability, and the use of inexpensive commercial reagents.

The reduction of nitroarenes is the most efficient route for the preparation of aromatic primary amines. These reductions are generally performed in the presence of heterogeneous transition metal catalysts, which are rather efficient but long and tedious to prepare. In addition, they contain very expensive metals that are in most cases difficult to reuse. Therefore, the development of efficient, easily accessible and reusable Pd catalysts obtained rapidly from safe and non-toxic starting materials was implemented in this report. Two bottom-up synthesis methods were used, the first consisted in the impregnation of a micro/mesoporous carbon support with a Pd salt solution, followed by thermal reduction (at 300, 450 or 600 °C) while the second involved a direct synthesis based on the co-assembly and pyrolysis (600 °C) of a mixture of a phenolic precursor, glyoxal, a surfactant and a Pd salt. The obtained composites possess Pd nanoparticles (NPs) of tunable sizes (ranging from 1-2 to 7.0 nm) and homogeneously distributed in the carbon framework (pores/walls). It turned out that they were successfully used for mild and environment-friendly hydrogenations of nitroarenes at room temperature under H2(1 atm) in EtOH in the presence of only 5 mequiv. of supported Pd. The determinations of the optimal characteristics of the catalysts constituted a second objective of this study. It was found that the activity of the catalysts was strongly dependent on the Pd NPs sizes,i.e., catalysts bearing small Pd NPs (1.2 nm obtained at 300 °C and 3.4 nm obtained at 450 °C) exhibited an excellent activity, while those containing larger Pd NPs (6.4 nm and 7.0 nm obtained at 600 °C, either by indirect or direct methods) were not active. Moreover, the possibility to reuse the catalysts was shown to be dependent on the surface chemistry of the Pd NPs: the smallest Pd NPs are prone to oxidation by air and their surface was gradually covered by a PdO shell decreasing their activity during reuse. A good compromise between intrinsic catalytic activity (i.e. during first use) and possibility of reuse was found in the catalyst made by impregnation followed by reduction at 450 °C since the hydrogenation could be performed in only 2 h in EtOH or even in water. The catalyst was quantitatively recovered after reaction by filtration, used at least 7 times with no loss of efficiency. Advantageously, almost Pd-free primary aromatic amines were obtained since the Pd leaching was very low (0.1% of the introduced amount). Compared to numerous reports from the literature, the catalysts described here were both easily accessible from eco-friendly precursors and very active for hydrogenations under mild and “green” reaction conditions.

A green chemical preparation of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in phytochemical resins using a plant extract from Pulicaria odora L. and PdCl2 under ambiant conditions is reported. Two batches of Pd NPs have been prepared: they present homogeneous sizes of respectively 2.2 nm and 3.2 nm depending on the preparation conditions. The Pd NPs were characterized by different techniques (TEM, HRTEM, XRD, XPS and BET) and have been successfully used for the reduction of nitroarenes in EtOH under H2 at atmospheric pressure at rt in the presence of only 5 mequiv. of Pd. Finally the Pd NPs embedded in resin particles were easily recovered by filtration and used at least seven times without significant loss in efficiency. The residual amount of palladium found in the reaction product is very low (0.6% of the initial amount). Therefore both preparation of the Pd NPs and their use for hydrogenations of nitroarenes are environmentally benign.

A novel protocol for chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines has been established. The metal-free reduction goes through a hydrogen transfer process. Various easily reducible functional groups can be well tolerated under the optimized reaction conditions.

Cobalt oxide visible light-active photo-catalysts supported on TiO2 nanoparticles with varying amount of cobalt oxide [3% CoOx/TiO2 (A), 4% CoOx/TiO2 (B), 5% CoOx/TiO2 (C)] were synthesized by solid-state method followed by calcination. The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized by various techniques such as powder XRD, TEM, EDX, UV-Vis-DRS and XPS analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized materials was studied for the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding amines using hydrazine monohydrate as the reductant. Cobalt(ii) oxide is responsible for the reduction of nitroarenes and then, cobalt(iii) is reduced back to the original compound by hydrazine hydrate, thus ascertaining the catalytic nature of this hydrogenation process. XPS suggests the presence of Co(ii) in CoOx/TiO2.

A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed deoxygenative transfer hydrogenation of amides to amines using HCO2H/NEt3 as the reducing agent is reported for the first time. The catalyst system consisting of [Ru(2-methylallyl)2(COD)], 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl) ethane (triphos) and Bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) (HNTf2) performed well for deoxygenative reduction of various secondary and tertiary amides into the corresponding amines in high yields with excellent selectivities, and exhibits high tolerance toward functional groups including those that are reduction-sensitive. The choice of hydrogen source and acid co-catalyst is critical for catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reductive amination of the in situ generated alcohol and amine via borrowing hydrogen is the dominant pathway. (Figure presented.).
