The reductive amination of carboxylic acids is a very green, efficient and sustainable method for the production of (bio-based) amines. However, with current technology, this reaction requires two to three reaction steps. Here, we report the first (heterogeneous) catalytic system for the one-pot reductive amination of carboxylic acids to amines, with solely H2 and NH3 as the reactants. This reaction can be performed with relatively cheap ruthenium-tungsten bimetallic catalysts in the green and benign solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME). Selectivities of up to 99% for the primary amine could be achieved at high conversions. Additionally, the catalyst is recyclable and tolerant for common impurities such as water and cations (e.g. sodium carboxylate).

A series of chiral 2-hydroxy ethyl/benzyl benzimidazole based aryl triazole tweezers have been prepared using click chemistry in high yields. Chiral pool strategy has been used to obtain the benzimidazole-based tweezers in very high enantiomerically enriched form. The aryl triazole tweezers, S-(?)-5a and S-(+)-8a displayed a high degree of selectivity for iodide anion over other anions, including other halides. The aryl triazole tweezers, S-(?)-5a and S-(+)-8a display significant enantio-discrimination for chiral amines. The chiral recognition studies were carried out using UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. NMR analysis has been used for establishing the sites for ligation of the iodide anion.

(R)-Amination mediated by (R)-specific ω-transaminases generally requires costly d-alanine in excess to obtain the desired chiral amines in high yield. Herein, a one-pot, trienzymatic cascade comprising an (R)-specific ω-transaminase, an amine dehydrogenase, and a formate dehydrogenase was developed for the economical and eco-friendly synthesis of (R)-chiral amines. Using inexpensive ammonium formate as the sole sacrificial agent, the established cascade system enabled efficient ω-transaminase-mediated (R)-amination of various ketones, with high conversions and excellent ee (>99%); water and CO2 were the only waste products.
