We have developed an effective approach to 1,2-disubstituted diamondoids by palladium(II) acetate catalyzed functionalization of C H bond. Selective mono-arylation of the adamantane framework was achieved using picolylamide as a directing group in yields up to 87 %. Kinetic studies in combination with deuterium labeling experiments, competitive experiments and mass spectrometry contribute to the mechanistic understanding of the arylation process of alkanes with number of C H bonds neighboring the directing group. Triflic anhydride promoted cyclization of the directing group generates imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives. Acid-mediated removal of the directing group provides access to 2-aryl diamondoid carboxylic acids, which are common precursors for the synthesis of various bioactive compounds (drug candidates).

The method is characterized in that organic boron and inorganic bases are used as catalysts, silane is used as a reducing agent, primary amide is reduced to primary amine or dehydration dinitrile, the secondary amide is reduced to a secondary amine or aldimine, and the tertiary amide is reduced to tertiary amine. The method has the advantages of simple operation, mild reaction conditions, wide substrate universality, good functional group compatibility and the like, and has the characteristics of good stability, cheap and accessible catalyst, simple and convenient operation, high practicality and the like.

The study of metal phosphide catalysts for organic synthesis is rare. We present, for the first time, a well-defined nano-cobalt phosphide (nano-Co2P) that can serve as a new class of catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines. While earth-abundant metal catalysts for nitrile hydrogenation generally suffer from air-instability (pyrophoricity), low activity and the need for harsh reaction conditions, nano-Co2P shows both air-stability and remarkably high activity for the hydrogenation of valeronitrile with an excellent turnover number exceeding 58000, which is over 20- to 500-fold greater than that of those previously reported. Moreover, nano-Co2P efficiently promotes the hydrogenation of a wide range of nitriles, which include di- and tetra-nitriles, to the corresponding primary amines even under just 1 bar of H2 pressure, far milder than the conventional reaction conditions. Detailed spectroscopic studies reveal that the high performance of nano-Co2P is attributed to its air-stable metallic nature and the increase of the d-electron density of Co near the Fermi level by the phosphidation of Co, which thus leads to the accelerated activation of both nitrile and H2. Such a phosphidation provides a promising method for the design of an advanced catalyst with high activity and stability in highly efficient and environmentally benign hydrogenations. This journal is
