, p. 864 - 867 (2015)
We disclosed the redox properties of CeO2 in organic reactions at low temperature of 303 K. CeO2 works as the most effective heterogeneous catalyst for imine formation from benzyl alcohol and aniline at 303 K among various metal oxides and showed more than 38-fold higher activity than other simple metal oxides. CeO2 is applicable to the reaction of various alcohols and amines and gives high yields (80-98%) and high selectivities (89- > 99%). Kinetic measurements, MS, and FTIR analyses demonstrated that the high activity of CeO2 is a result of reactive oxygen species at the redox sites on CeO2. This discovery can help to create a new field in metal oxide catalysis.

A new protocol for the direct formation of amides from imines derived from aromatic aldehydes via metal-free aerobic oxidation in the presence of cyanide is described. This protocol was applicable to various aldimines, and the desired amides were obtained in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggested that this aerobic oxidative amidation might proceed via the addition of cyanide to imines followed by proton transfer from carbon to nitrogen in the original imines, leading to carbanions of α-amino nitriles, which undergo subsequent oxidation with molecular oxygen in air to provide the desired amide compounds.

Cu oxide-modified CeO2 (CuOx-CeO2) with 2 wtpercent Cu loading amount was the most effective and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for selective one-pot imine synthesis from methylarenes and anilines via direct oxidation of the sp3 C-H bond in the methylare

, p. 576 - 582 (2015)
A ruthenium-catalysed dehydrogenative cross-coupling of primary alcohols and imines in the presence of TFA provided a library of differently substituted quinolines. Imines can be prepared in situ from various anilines and several benzyl alcohols using a ruthenium-catalysed hydrogen-transfer procedure. Without changing the catalyst, quinolines can be obtained in moderate to good yields by adding various primary alcohols in the presence of TFA (30 mol%) via a "telescopic" protocol. The use of alcohols, the absence of strong oxidants and the diversity of potential starting materials make this modern version of the Skraup reaction superior to most of the conventional quinoline syntheses.

The current study presents a direct CF2H radical addition to CN bonds predicated on the photocatalytic activation of commercially available zinc difluoromethanesulfinate. The mild conditions in place lead to impressive structural diversity, as quinoxalinones and dibenzazepines, among others, are successfully functionalized.

CeO2 based catalysts have been investigated in various catalytic reactions due to its unique reversible Ce3+/Ce4+ redox pair and physicochemical property, but its poor cycle efficiency and low reservoir limit its wide application in the fine chemicals industry. In this work, a novel amorphous Fe2O3 modified CeO2 catalytic system was developed by a facile co-precipitation method. The as-prepared samples were characterized in detail, and were employed for catalyzing the one-pot synthesis of imine from benzyl alcohol and aniline under air atmosphere at low temperature. The as-prepared sample with molar ratio of Fe:Ce = 8:2 dried at 100 °C (named Fe8Ce2-100) exhibited superhigh activity for atom economy synthesis of imine, which was much higher than the reported CeO2 catalyst, even higher than some noble metal catalysts. It is worth noting that pure amorphous Fe2O3-100 could not catalyze this reaction at all, and both pure CeO2-100 and the mechanical mixed sample with the same molar ratio of Fe:Ce exhibited much more inferior catalytic activity than Fe8Ce2-100. Combining characterization results and the catalytic activities of different catalysts at various reaction conditions, the enhanced catalytic activity of Fe8Ce2-100 could be ascribed to the novel synergistic effect between CeO2 and amorphous Fe2O3. Amorphous Fe2O3 plays the role of engine to greatly improve the [O] transfer cycle of Ce4+/Ce3+, as well as enhances the redox and amphoteric properties of the catalysts. This work firstly determines amorphous Fe2O3 can participate and facilitate the catalytic cycle for organic reaction, and may provide a significant strategy for designing polymetallic oxide catalyst towards organic aerobic transformation.
A Route to Polysubstituted Aziridines from Carbenes and Imines through a Nondiazo Approach
Luo, Hejiang,Chen, Kai,Jiang, Huanfeng,Zhu, Shifa
, p. 5208 - 5211 (2016)
An efficient method for the synthesis of polysubstituted aziridines utilizing enynones and imines is described. This transformation is achieved through the reaction of imines with donor/donor carbene intermediates, which were generated in situ from the cyclization of enynones. Furthermore, the resulted aziridines were good 1,3-dipoles, which could be efficiently trapped by dipolarophiles to give five-membered heterocycles. The obvious advantages of wide substrate scopes, mild reaction conditions, and high atom efficiency make this system highly appealing for construction of polysubstituted aziridines, 2,5-dihydropyroles, and 1,2,4-triazolidines.

A nonprecious metal and biopolymer-based catalyst, Cu/chitosan beads, has been successfully prepared by using a software-controlled flow system. Uniform, spherical Cu/chitosan beads can be obtained with diameters in millimeter-scale and narrow size distribution (0.78 ± 0.04 mm). The size and morphology of the Cu/chitosan beads are reproducible due to high precision of the flow rate. In addition, the application of the Cu/chitosan beads as a green and reusable catalyst has been demonstrated using a convenient and efficient protocol for the direct synthesis of iminesviathe oxidative self- and cross-coupling of amines (24 examples) with moderate to excellent yields. Importantly, the beads are stable and could be reused more than ten times without loss of the catalytic performance. Furthermore, because of the bead morphology, the Cu/chitosan catalyst has greatly simplified recycling and workup procedures.

A facile and scaled-up synthesis route to efficient and environment-friendly metal oxide catalysts with desirable properties is of great practical importance, owing to their excellent performance as heterogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis. Herein, a novel amorphous Fe2O3 modified Mn3O4 catalyst (Fe5Mn5-100) has been prepared by adopting a simple co-precipitation method following low temperature baking. Fe5Mn5-100 showed exceptionally high catalytic activity for the atom-economic production of imine from benzyl alcohol with aniline, giving a 98% imine yield at 60 °C in only 3 h, which is higher than all of the reported non-noble and noble metal catalysts. Importantly, Fe5Mn5-100 could still exhibit extraordinary catalytic performance on a large-scale reaction without any solvent, including the frequently used toxic mesitylene, xylene or toluene. Interestingly, the amorphous Fe2O3-100 provided no catalytic activity, and pure Mn3O4-100 showed very inferior catalytic activity towards this reaction. Further detailed characterizations and experimental results revealed that amorphous Fe2O3 plays an important role in expediting the [O] transfer cycle of Mn3+/Mn2+ in Mn3O4, and enhances the oxidation ability and acidity of Fe5Mn5-100. This discovery would provide a new avenue for the atom-economic and environment-friendly industrial synthesis of imine. This journal is

Four different types of TEMPO derivatives incorporated with an ionic liquid moiety and N,N-bidentate coordination group (IL-TEMPO-N,N) were prepared. The CuBr/IL-TEMPO-N,N system showed high catalytic activity toward the synthesis of aldehydes and imines via the aerobic oxidation of alcohols in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF4). Both the Cu catalyst and IL-TEMPO-N,N co-catalyst in homogeneous catalytic systems could simultaneously be recovered from the products by extraction using Et2O. The remaining catalyst system in the ionic liquid phase could be reused for several cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity. Protocols for highly efficient and recyclable aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and imines were established.
