Cost-effective and environmentally friendly conversion of nitroarenes into value-added products is desirable but still challenging. In this work, highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles (NPs) supported on N-doped mesoporous carbon (Ni/NC-x) were synthesized via novel ion exchange-pyrolysis strategy. Their catalytic performance was investigated for one-pot transfer hydroalkylation of nitrobenzene (NB) with EtOH in absence of H2. Interestingly, the catalytic performance could be easily manipulated by tuning the morphology and electronic state of Ni NPs via varying the pyrolysis temperature. It was found that the Ni/NC-650 achieved 100 % nitrobenzene conversion and approx. 90 % selectivity of N,N-diethyl aniline at 240 °C for 5 h, more active than those of homogeneous catalysts or supported Ni catalysts prepared by impregnation (Ni/NC-650-IM, Ni/SiO2). This can be ascribed to the higher dispersion and better reducibility as well as richer surface basicity of the catalyst. More interestingly, the Ni/NC-650 catalyst achieved complete conversion of various nitroarenes, yielding imines, secondary amines, or tertiary amines selectively by simply controlling the reaction temperature at 180, 200 and 240 °C, respectively. The one-pot hydrogen-free process with non-noble metal catalysts, as demonstrated in this work, shows great promise for selective conversion of nitroarenes with ethanol to various anilines at industrial scale, from an economic, environmental, and safety viewpoint.

Photocatalytic water splitting technology (PWST) enables the direct use of water as appealing “liquid hydrogen source” for transfer hydrogenation reactions. Currently, the development of PWST-based transfer hydrogenations is still in an embryonic stage. Previous reports generally centered on the rational utilization of the in situ generated H-source (electrons) for hydrogenations, in which photogenerated holes were quenched by sacrificial reagents. Herein, the fully-utilization of the liquid H-source and holes during water splitting is presented for photo-reductive N-alkylation of nitro-aromatic compounds. In this integrate system, H-species in situ generated from water splitting were designed for nitroarenes reduction to produce amines, while alkanols were oxidized by holes for cascade alkylating of anilines as well as the generated secondary amines. More than 50 examples achieved with a broad range scope validate the universal applicability of this mild and sustainable coupling approach. The synthetic utility of this protocol was further demonstrated by the synthesis of existing pharmaceuticals via selective N-alkylation of amines. This strategy based on the sustainable water splitting technology highlights a significant and promising route for selective synthesis of valuable N-alkylated fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals from nitroarenes and amines with water and alkanols.

A well-defined hexamethylenetetramine (abbreviated as HMTA) based two-dimensional (2D) MOFs metalloligand (termed Zn-HMTA), with free uncoordinated tertiary amine groups, has been synthesized via solution diffusion method for the first time. The crystal structure of 2D Zn-HMTA metalloligand was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The SCXRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses have revealed that the 2D Zn-HMTA metalloligand is rich in- free tertiary amine groups, which are of strong coordination ability to transition metal ions (e.g. Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Cu2+). As a result, a 2D bimetallic Co@Zn-HMTA MOFs was synthesized via coordination-assisted impregnation (CAI) strategy attributed to the unique feature of strong coordinated ability of free tertiary amine groups. Furthermore, a series of self-supported Co-ZnO-CN nanocatalysts were afforded upon the as-synthesized Co@Zn-HMTA MOFs served as a self-sacrificial template for pyrolysis at different temperatures. The optimized catalyst (termed as Co-ZnO@CN-CAI) demonstrated the excellent catalytic performance for hydrogenation-alkylation tandem reaction in comparison with the classic ZnO@CN composite (derived from Zn-HMTA MOFs) supported metallic Co catalyst (Co-ZnO@CN-IWI) prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. Moreover, the kinetic study was also performed to confirm that the alkylation is the rate-determining step in the hydrogenation-alkylation tandem reaction. The origin of enhanced catalytic performance of Co-ZnO@CN-CAI and the role of Co@Zn-HMTA MOFs precursor have been explored by way of various characterizations, e.g. HADDF-STEM-EDS, SEM-EDS, 13C MAS NMR, XRD, Raman and XPS, etc. It is anticipated that the prepared low-cost and easily prepared 2D Zn-HMTA metalloligand will become a general template for synthesis of highly self-supported catalysts with coordination-assisted impregnation strategy (CAI) for various catalytic reactions.

Palladium allyl, cinnamyl, and indenyl complexes with the ylide-substituted phosphines Cy3P+?C?(R)PCy2 (with R=Me (L1) or Ph (L2)) and Cy3P+?C?(Me)PtBu2 (L3) were prepared and applied as defined precatalysts in C?N coupling reactions. The complexes are highly active in the amination of 4-chlorotoluene with a series of different amines. Higher yields were observed with the precatalysts in comparison to the in situ generated catalysts. Changes in the ligand structures allowed for improved selectivities by shutting down β-hydride elimination or diarylation reactions. Particularly, the complexes based on L2 (joYPhos) revealed to be universal precatalysts for various amines and aryl halides. Full conversions to the desired products are reached mostly within 1 h reaction time at room temperature, thus making L2 to one of the most efficient ligands in C?N coupling reactions. The applicability of the catalysts was demonstrated for aryl chlorides, bromides and iodides together with primary and secondary aryl and alkyl amines, including gram-scale applications also with low catalyst loadings of down to 0.05 mol %. Kinetic studies further demonstrated the outstanding activity of the precatalysts with TOF over 10.000 h?1.

An iridium-catalysed deoxygenation of ketones and aldehydes is achieved, with formic acid as hydride donor and water as co-solvent. At low catalyst loading, a number of 4-(N,N-disubstituted amino) aryl ketones are readily deoxygenated in excellent yields and chemoselectivity. Numerous functional groups, especially phenolic and alcoholic hydroxyls, secondary amine, carboxylic acid, and alkyl chloride, are well tolerable. Geminally dideuterated alkanes are obtained with up to 90% D incorporation, when DCO2D and D2O are used in place of their hydrogenative counterparts. The activating 4-(N,N-disubstituted amino)aryl groups have been demonstrated to undergo a variety of useful transformations. The deoxygenative deuterations have been used to prepare a deuterated drug molecule Chlorambucil-4,4-d2. (Figure presented.).

The development of efficient and selective C?N bond-forming reactions from abundant feedstock chemicals remains a central theme in organic chemistry owing to the key roles of amines in synthesis, drug discovery, and materials science. Herein, we present a dual catalytic system for the N-alkylation of diverse aromatic carbocyclic and heterocyclic amines directly with carboxylic acids, by-passing their preactivation as redox-active esters. The reaction, which is enabled by visible-light-driven, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylation, provides access to N-alkylated secondary and tertiary anilines and N-heterocycles. Additional examples, including double alkylation, the installation of metabolically robust deuterated methyl groups, and tandem ring formation, further demonstrate the potential of the direct decarboxylative alkylation (DDA) reaction.

Ylide-functionalized phosphine ligands (YPhos) were rationally designed to fit the requirements of Buchwald–Hartwig aminations at room temperature. This ligand class combines a strong electron-donating ability comparable to NHC ligands with high steric demand similar to biaryl phosphines. The active Pd species are stabilized by agostic C?H???Pd rather than by Pd–arene interactions. The practical advantage of YPhos ligands arises from their easy and scalable synthesis from widely available, inexpensive starting materials. Benchmark studies showed that YPhos-Pd complexes are superior to the best-known phosphine ligands in room-temperature aminations of aryl chlorides. The utility of the catalysts was demonstrated by the synthesis of various arylamines in high yields within short reaction times.

Three novel N-doped carbon supported Co/Co3O4 catalysts, namely, Co@CN-hmta, Co@CN-larg and Co-Co3O4@CN-bipy, with sheet-, worm-, honeycomb-like morphologies respectively, have been fabricated by the pyrolysis of well-defined coordination polymers (CPs). Upon the as-prepared catalysts were applied for the reaction of N-alkylation of nitroarenes with ethanol, a direct two-step tandem reaction is realized, in which the Co@CN-hmta delivers 100% conversion/selectivity of N-ethylaniline/N,N-diethylaniline from the direct N-alkylation of nitroarenes with ethanol. The kinetic studies were conducted to confirm that the N-alkylation of aniline with ethanol is the rate-determining step in the two-step tandem reaction. The SEM/EDX, XRD, Raman, TEM, XPS, and CO2-TPD characterization results have revealed that sizes and dispersion of metallic Co, amount of structural defects and surface Lewis basicity towards three catalysts can be tuned by changing the structures of Co-based CPs designed by different organic linkers, which may also help to understand the preparation of industrial catalysts on a molecular level. The optimized Co@CN-hmta catalyst is easily recycled by using the external magnet for successive reuses without any loss in both activity and selectivity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first carbon-nitrogen species supported Co/Co3O4 catalysts derived from the CPs, which could effectively catalyzed the N-alkylation of nitroarenes with ethanol to produce the secondary amines and/or tertiary amines. This low-cost, recyclable and easy scale-up N-doped carbon supported catalyst may be of potential application in various heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

An iridium-catalyzed, highly efficient, and site-selective deoxygenation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols has been realized, under the assistance of a 4-(N-substituted amino)aryl directing group. Only the hydroxyl adjacent to the directing group can be deoxygenated. The deoxygenation is performed in water, with formic acid as both the promoter and hydride donor. Excellent yields and functionality tolerance, as well as high efficiency (S/C up to 1000 000, TOF up to 445 000 h-1), are obtained. The kinetic isotope effect studies show that hydride formation is the rate-determining step, and the deoxygenation follows an SN1-type pathway. The deoxygenation protocol has been demonstrated useful in the structural modification of naturally occurring ketones and steroids.

NHC-rhodium complexes (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbenes) have been widely used as efficient catalysts for hydrosilylation reactions. However, the substrates were mostly limited to reactive carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) or carbon-carbon multiple bonds. Here, we describe the application of newly-developed chelating bis(tzNHC)-rhodium complexes (tz=1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) for several reductive transformations. With these catalysts, the formal reductive methylation of amines using carbon dioxide, the hydrosilylation of amides and carboxylic acids, and the reductive alkylation of amines using carboxylic acids have been achieved under mild reaction conditions.
