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.

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.

The first general and efficient cobalt-catalyzed deoxygenative hydrogenation of amides to amines is presented. The optimal catalytic system based on a combination of [Co(NTf2)2] and (p-anisyl)triphos (L3) in the presence of [Me3SiOTf] as acidic co-catalyst facilitates the direct hydrogenation of a broad range of amides to the corresponding amines under mild conditions. A set of control experiments indicate that, after the initial reduction of the amide carboxylic group to the well-known hemiaminal intermediate, the reaction mainly proceeds through C-O bond cleavage though other pathways might be also involved to a minor extent.
