Synthesis and spectral studies on NiS4, NiS2PN, NiS2P2 chromophores: Single-crystal X-ray structure of [Ni(dbpdtc)2] (dbpdtc = benzyl(4-(benzylamino)phenyl)dithiocarbamate)

Three complexes of a dithiocarbamate ligand (dbpdtc = benzyl(4- (benzylamino)phenyl)dithiocarbamate), namely [Ni(dbpdtc)2] (1), [Ni(dbpdtc)(NCS)(PPh3)] (2) and [Ni(dbpdtc)(PPh3) 2]ClO4 (3) have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by IR, electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. A single-crystal X-ray structural analysis was carried out for complex 1 and showed that the nickel is in a distorted square planar environment with a NiS4 chromophore. For the two mixed ligand complexes, the thioureide ν C-N values were shifted to higher wavenumbers compared to [Ni(dbpdtc)2], suggesting increased strength of the thioureide bond due to the presence of the π-accepting phosphine. Electronic spectral studies suggest square planar geometries for the complexes. Cyclic voltammetry showed easier reduction of nickel(II) to nickel(I) in the mixed ligand complexes compared to [Ni(dbpdtc)2].

A selective reductive amination of aldehydes by the use of Hantzsch dihydropyridines as reductant

Direct reductive amination of an aldehyde was carried out using a Hantzsch dihydropyridine as the reductant in the presence of a catalytic amount of scandium triflate. The reaction was highly selective towards aldehydes over ketones, and other reducible functional groups did not affect the reaction.

Nickel Complexes Bearing N,N,O-Tridentate Salicylaldiminato Ligand: Efficient Catalysts for Imines Formation via Dehydrogenative Coupling of Primary Alcohols with Amines

Treatment of salicylaldiminato ligand L1H-L2H (L1H = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-((quinolin-8-ylimino)methyl)phenol; L2H = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(((2-(diethylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol) with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in refluxing ethanol afforded nickel complexes [(L1)Ni(OAc)] (1) and [(L2)Ni(OAc)] (2), respectively. Reaction of L3H (L3H = (2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol)) with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in the presence of excess triethylanmine gave the dual ligands coordinated nickel complex [(L2)2Ni] (3). Complexes 1-3 were well characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. All the three Ni(II) complexes exhibited efficient activity and good selectivity in the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to produce imines and diimines. The present protocol provides an atom-economical and sustainable route for the synthesis of various imine derivatives by employing an earth-abundant nickel salt and easily prepared salicylaldiminato ligands.

This one-pot protocol works efficiently at room temperature and is compatible with a wide range of sterically and electronically diverse aldehydes and primary amines. Notably, this simple process offers scalability, excellent functional group tolerance, chemoselectivity, and is also effective at the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules. This journal is

Ti?Pd Alloys as Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Hydrogen Autotransfer Reaction and Catalytic Improvement by Hydrogenation Effects

Ti?Pd alloys were investigated as heterogeneous catalysts for hydrogen autotransfer reactions. This is the first reported study of alloys as catalysts for hydrogen-borrowing reactions using alcohols. We improved the catalytic activities of alloys by increasing their specific surface areas via a hydrogenation?powdering process. The reactivities and selectivities of hydrogenated Ti?Pd alloys [Ti?Pd(Hy)] were higher than those of non-hydrogenated alloy catalysts in N-alkylation by hydrogen autotransfer using alcohols. A plausible catalytic cycle is proposed based on control studies and deuterium labelling experiments.

Phosphine-Free Well-Defined Mn(I) Complex-Catalyzed Synthesis of Amine, Imine, and 2,3-Dihydro-1 H-perimidine via Hydrogen Autotransfer or Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Amine and Alcohol

The application of nontoxic, earth-abundant transition metals in place of costly noble metals is a paramount goal in catalysis and is especially interesting if the air- and moisture-stable ligand scaffold is used. Herein, we report the synthesis of amines/imines directly from alcohol and amines via hydrogen autotransfer or acceptorless dehydrogenation catalyzed by well-defined phosphine-free Mn complexes. Both imines and amines can be obtained from the same set of alcohols and amines using the same catalyst, only by tuning the reaction conditions. The amount and nature of the base are found to be a highly important aspect for the observed selectivity. Both the primary and secondary amines have been employed as substrates for the N-alkylation reaction. As a highlight, we showed the chemoselective synthesis of resveratrol derivatives. Furthermore, the Mn-catalyzed dehydrogenative synthesis of structurally important 2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidines has also been demonstrated. Density functional theory calculations were also carried out to model the reaction path and to calculate the reaction profile.

Borrowing Hydrogen-Mediated N-Alkylation Reactions by a Well-Defined Homogeneous Nickel Catalyst

We report herein a well-defined and bench-stable azo-phenolate ligand-coordinated nickel catalyst which can efficiently execute N-alkylation of a variety of anilines by alcohol. We demonstrate that the redox-active azo ligand can store hydrogen generated during alcohol oxidation and redelivers the same to an in-situ-generated imine bond to result in N-alkylation of amines. The reaction has wide scope, and a large array of alcohols can directly couple to a variety of anilines. Mechanistic studies including deuterium labeling to the substrate establishes the borrowing hydrogen method from alcohols and pinpoints the crucial role of the redox-active azo moiety present on the ligand backbone. Isolation of the ketyl intermediate in its trapped form with a radical quencher and higher kH/kD for the alcohol oxidation step suggest altogether a hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) to the reduced azo backbone to pave alcohol oxidation as opposed to the conventional metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. This example clearly demonstrates that an inexpensive base metal catalyst can accomplish an important coupling reaction with the help of a redox-active ligand backbone.

An Efficient and Selective Nickel-Catalyzed Direct N-Alkylation of Anilines with Alcohols

Herein, we developed an efficient and selective nickel-catalyzed monoalkylation of various primary alcohols with aryl and heteroaryl amines together with diols and amino alcohol derivatives. Notably, the catalytic protocol consisting of an earth-abundant and non-precious NiBr2/L1 system enables the transformations in the presence of hydroxyl, alkene, nitrile, and nitro functionalities. As a highlight, we have demonstrated the alkylation of diamine, intramolecular cyclization to N-heterocycles, and functionalization of complex vitamin E, an (±)-α-tocopherol derivative. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed the participation of a benzylic C-H bond in the rate-determining step.

Hemilabile N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-nitrogen-phosphine mediated Ru (II)-catalyzed N-alkylation of aromatic amine with alcohol efficiently

Based on the hemilability, a novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-nitrogen-phosphine ligand (1) was synthesized, and the combination of it with [Ru(COD)Cl2]n showed the high activity and selectivity with a low Ru loading of 0.1% for the N-alkylation of amine with alcohol. Especially, for these substrates with pyridine backbone, even if the catalyst loading was as low as 0.01%, good yields (81–95%) of the desired products were achieved.

Tunable Triazole-Phosphine-Copper Catalysts for the Synthesis of 2-Aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazoles from Benzyl Alcohols and Diamines by Acceptorless Dehydrogenation and Borrowing Hydrogen Reactions

Triazole-phosphine-copper complexes (TAP?Cu) have been synthesized and applied as tunable and efficient catalysts for the selective synthesis of fluoro-substituted 2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole and 1-benzyl-2-aryl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole derivatives from simple alcohols in only one step. TAP?Cu exhibited excellent and tunable catalytic activity for both dehydrogenation and borrowing hydrogen reactions with more than 80 examples being demonstrated for the first time. It was observed that the ligand played a critical role in catalyst activity. Mechanistic studies and deuterium labeling experiments indicated that the reactions proceeded by an initial and reversible alcohol dehydrogenation resulting in a copper hydride intermediate. This was also supported by the direct observation of a diagnostic copper hydride signal by solid-state infrared spectroscopy. The TAP?Cu-H complex showed absorptions at 912 cm?1 that could be assigned to copper?hydride stretches. Furthermore, the direct trapping of an intermediate bisimine was also successfully performed.
