Primary ammonium/tertiary amine-mediated controlled ring opening polymerisation of amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides
Vacogne, Charlotte D.,Schlaad, Helmut
, p. 15645 - 15648 (2015)
Stable commercial primary ammonium chlorides were combined with tertiary amines to initiate the controlled ring opening polymerisation of amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides to yield polypeptides with defined end group structure, predetermined molar mass and narrow molar mass distribution.

Deoxygenative reduction of amides is a challenging but favorable synthetic method of accessing amines. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Ca[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2, pinacolborane (HBpin) could efficiently reduce a broad scope of amides, primary amides in particular, into corresponding amines. Functional groups and heteroatoms showed good tolerance in this process of transformation, and a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.
Optimum bifunctionality in a 2-(2-pyridyl-2-ol)-1,10-phenanthroline based ruthenium complex for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and nitriles: Impact of the number of 2-hydroxypyridine fragments

Considerable differences in reactivity and selectivity for 2-hydroxypyridine (2-HP) derived ruthenium complexes in transfer hydrogenation are described. Bifunctional Ru(ii)-(phenpy-OH) [phenpy-OH: 2-(2-pyridyl-2-ol)-1,10-phenanthroline] complex (2) exhibited excellent catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones and nitriles. Notably, in comparison with all the reported 2-hydroxypyridine (2-HP) derived ruthenium complexes in transfer hydrogenation, complex 2 displayed significantly higher activity. Additionally, exploiting the metal-ligand cooperativity in complex 2, chemoselective TH of ketones was achieved and sterically demanding ketones were readily reduced. An outer-sphere mechanism is proposed for this system as exogenous PPh3 has no significant effect on the rate of this reaction. This is a rare example of a highly active bifunctional Ru(ii) catalyst bearing only one 2-HP unit.

Mild and efficient procedures for deprotection of the amine nitrogen protecting p-methoxyphenyl (PMP) group are described. Periodic acid and trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) were found to be particularly effective in realizing amine liberation using 1 and 0.5 equiv of the oxidant, respectively. Extension of the periodic acid-mediated conditions to simultaneous alcohol oxidation by combination with a catalytic amount of sodium dichromate led to smooth conversion of PMP-protected Mannich products into the corresponding β-amino acids in a one-pot procedure.

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
A mild and efficient method for the reduction of nitriles
Laval, Stéphane,Dayoub, Wissam,Favre-Reguillon, Alain,Berthod, Mika?l,Demonchaux, Patrice,Mignani, Gérard,Lemaire, Marc

A simple and useful method for the reduction of nitriles into the corresponding amines using a tetramethyldisiloxane/titanium(IV) isopropoxide reducing system is described. The synthetic approach is straightforward and provides primary amines as hydrochloride salt in almost quantitative yield. Other advantages of this method, such as easy-to-handle hydride source, inert by-products, that is, TiO2 and oligomeric siloxanes, make it very attractive to prepare primary amines.
Non-Pincer Mn(I) Organometallics for the Selective Catalytic Hydrogenation of Nitriles to Primary Amines
Gardu?o, Jorge A.,García, Juventino J.
, p. 392 - 401 (2019)
We report herein selective catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines with the use of the non-pincer Mn(I) compound fac-[(CO)3Mn{iPr2P(CH2)2PiPr2}(OTf)] (2) as a catalytic precursor (3 mol %) in the presence of KOtBu (10 mol %) and 2-BuOH as solvent. Benchmark benzonitrile and electron-rich aromatic and aliphatic nitriles were hydrogenated under rather mild conditions (7 bar, 90 °C, 15 min) to produce the corresponding amines in excellent to very good isolated yields (83-97%, six examples). Increasing the H2 pressure and time (35 bar, 30 min) allowed for the production of (di)amines in excellent yields (94-98%, three examples) from electron-deficient aromatic nitriles and terephthalonitrile. Notably, adiponitrile was reduced to hexamethylenediamine in 53% isolated yield. Finally, mechanistic insights were performed and suggested unsaturated Mn-hydride species performing the elementary steps during catalytic turnover.
Tandem Fe/Zn or Fe/In Catalysis for the Selective Synthesis of Primary and Secondary Amines?via Selective Reduction of Primary Amides
Darcel, Christophe,Wu, Jiajun
, (2022/03/18)
Tandem iron/zinc or iron/indium-catalysed reductions of various primary amides to amines under hydrosilylation conditions are reported under visible light activation. By a simple modification of the nature of the co-catalyst (Zn(OTf)2 vs In(OTf)3), Fe(CO)4(IMes) can promote the highly chemoselective reduction of primary amides into primary amines (21 examples, up to 93 % isolated yields) and secondary amines (8 examples, up to 51 % isolated yields), respectively. Notably, both benzamide and alkanamide derivatives can be reduced.

The development of chemoselective and heterogeneous earth-abundant metal catalysts is essential for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis. We report a highly efficient, chemoselective, and reusable single-site nickel(II) hydride catalyst based on robust and porous aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (DUT-5) for hydrogenation of nitro and nitrile compounds to the corresponding amines and hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers under mild conditions. The nickel-hydride catalyst was prepared by the metalation of aluminum hydroxide secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 having the formula of Al(μ2-OH)(bpdc) (bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate) with NiBr2 followed by a reaction with NaEt3BH. DUT-5-NiH has a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance in the hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitro and nitrile compounds under 1 bar H2 and could be recycled and reused at least 10 times. By changing the reaction conditions of the hydrogenation of nitriles, symmetric or unsymmetric secondary amines were also afforded selectively. The experimental and computational studies suggested reversible nitrile coordination to nickel followed by 1,2-insertion of coordinated nitrile into the nickel-hydride bond occurring in the turnover-limiting step. In addition, DUT-5-NiH is also an active catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenolysis of carbon-oxygen bonds in aryl ethers to afford hydrocarbons under atmospheric hydrogen in the absence of any base, which is important for the generation of fuels from biomass. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based single-site earth-abundant metal catalysts for practical and eco-friendly production of chemical feedstocks and biofuels.

, p. 1681 - 1686 (2021/03/03)
AgSbF6 was developed as an effective catalyst for the hydroboration of various unsaturated functionalities (nitriles, alkenes, and aldehydes). This atom-economic chemoselective protocol works effectively under low catalyst loading, base- A nd solvent-free moderate conditions. Importantly, this process shows excellent functional group tolerance and compatibility with structurally and electronically diverse substrates (>50 examples). Mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway. Further, the obtained N,N-diborylamines were showcased to be useful precursors for amide synthesis.
