Thioglycerol-Stabilized Rhodium Nanoparticles in Biphasic Medium as Catalysts in Multistep Reactions

Small rhodium nanoparticles (ca. 3.5 nm) were prepared by the decomposition of an organometallic precursor under hydrogen pressure in glycerol using 1-thioglycerol as stabilizer. Full characterization in the solid state [HR-TEM, EDX, XPS] showed a fcc structure for the Rh0/RhI nanoparticles capped with thiolate ligand. Reduction of different functionalities, including nitro groups and imines, was applied to tandem reductive amination of aldehydes with primary and secondary amines, and to the synthesis of N-substituted anilines from nitrobenzene. In addition, thiolate-capped RhNPs could be recovered and reused up to 5 runs without loss of activity nor selectivity.

Carbon monoxide-driven osmium catalyzed reductive amination harvesting WGSR power

Herein, we present the first example of Os-catalyzed efficient reductive amination under water-gas shift reaction conditions. The developed catalytic systems are formedin situin aqueous solutions, employ as small as 0.0625 mol% osmium and are capable of delivering reductive amination products for a broad range of aliphatic and aromatic carbonyl compounds and amines. The scope of the reaction, active catalytic systems, possible limitations of the method and DFT-supported mechanistic considerations are discussed in detail in the manuscript.

Access to chiral tertiary amines via the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of enamines

The asymmetric hydrogenation of N,N-dialkyl and N-alkyl-N-aryl enamines to chiral tertiary amines was studied. All the N,P-ligated iridium complexes investigated were active catalysts for the reaction, but only those with bicycle-supported oxazoline-phosp

Asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized enamines catalyzed by iridium complexes of chiral spiro N,N-diarylphosphoramidites

Chiral spiro N,N-diarylphosphoramidites were synthesized. These new chiral spiro monophosphoramidites were efficient ligands for iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized enamines derived from simple alkyl aryl ketones, providing chiral tertiary amines in good enantioselectivities (up to 90% ee).

Achieving Aliphatic Amine Addition to Arylalkynes via the Lewis Acid Assisted Triazole-Gold (TA-Au) Catalyst System

Transition metal catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of the arylalkynes with aliphatic amine is generally problematic due to the good coordination between amine and metal cation. With the combination of 1,2,3-triazole coordinated gold(I) catalyst (TA-Au) and Zn(OTf)2 cocatalyst, this challenging transformation was achieved with good to excellent yields and regioselectivity. Compared to previously reported methods, this approach offered an alternative catalyst system to achieve this fundamental chemical transformation with high efficiency and practical conditions.

Cleavage∕cross-coupling strategy for converting β-O-4 linkage lignin model compounds into high valued benzyl amines via dual C–O bond cleavage

Lignin is the most recalcitrant of the three components of lignocellulosic biomass. The strength and stability of the linkages have long been a great challenge for the degradation and valorization of lignin biomass to obtain bio-fuels and commercial chemicals. Up to now, the selective cleavage of C–O linkages of lignin to afford chemicals contains only C, H and O atoms. Our group has developed a cleavage/cross-coupling strategy for converting 4-O-5 linkage lignin model compounds into high value-added compounds. Herein, we present a palladium-catalyzed cleavage/cross-coupling of the β-O-4 lignin model compounds with amines via dual C–O bond cleavage for the preparation of benzyl amine compounds and phenols.

Chan-Lam Amination of Secondary and Tertiary Benzylic Boronic Esters

We report a Chan-Lam coupling reaction of benzylic and allylic boronic esters with primary and secondary anilines to form valuable alkyl amine products. Both secondary and tertiary boronic esters can be used as coupling partners, with mono-alkylation of the aniline occurring selectively. This is a rare example of a transition-metal-mediated transformation of a tertiary alkylboron reagent. Initial investigation into the reaction mechanism suggests that transmetalation from B to Cu occurs through a single-electron, rather than a two-electron process.

Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroamination of Styrenes with pivZPhos as Ligand

A copper-catalyzed hydroamination of styrenes using pivZPhos as ligand is reported. Enantioselectivities up to 94% are achieved under optimized conditions with aryl and heteroaryl styrenes. A variety of electrophilic O -benzoylhydroxylamines are well tolerated.

Hydrogen-Borrowing Amination of Secondary Alcohols Promoted by a (Cyclopentadienone)iron Complex

Thanks to a highly active catalyst, the scope of the (cyclopentadienone)iron complex-promoted 'hydrogen-borrowing' (HB) amination has been expanded to secondary alcohols, which had previously been reported to react only in the presence of large amounts of co-catalysts. A range of cyclic and acyclic secondary alcohols were reacted with aromatic and aliphatic amines giving fair to excellent yields of the substitution products. The catalyst was also able to promote the cyclization of diols bearing a secondary alcohol group with primary amines to generate saturated N-heterocycles.

Photochemical benzylic bromination in continuous flow using BrCCl3 and its application to telescoped p-methoxybenzyl protection

BrCCl3 represents a rarely used benzylic brominating reagent with complementary reactivity to other reagents. Its reactivity has been revisited in continuous flow, revealing compatibility with electron-rich aromatic substrates. This has brought about the development of a p-methoxybenzyl bromide generator for PMB protection, which was successfully demonstrated on a pharmaceutically relevant intermediate on 11 g scale, giving 91% yield and a PMB-Br space-time-yield of 1.27 kg L?1 h?1
