Metal-Ligand cooperation on a diruthenium platform: Selective imine formation through acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with amines

Metal-metal singly-bonded diruthenium complexes, bridged by naphthyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands featuring a hydroxy appendage on the naphthyridine unit, are obtained in a single-pot reaction of [Ru2(CH3COO)2(CO)4] with 1-benzyl-3-(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyrid-2-yl)imidazolium bromide (BIN-HBr) or 1-isopropyl-3-(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyrid-2-yl)imidazolium bromide (PIN-HBr), TlBF4, and substituted benzaldehyde containing an electron-withdrawing group. The modified NHC-naphthyridine-hydroxy ligand spans the diruthenium unit in which the NHC carbon and hydroxy oxygen occupy the axial sites. All the synthesized compounds catalyze acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of weak base 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Further, acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADHC) of the alcohol with amines affords the corresponding imine as the sole product. The substrate scope is examined with 1 (BIN, p-nitrobenzaldehyde). A similar complex [Ru2(CO) 4(CH3COO)(3-PhBIN)][Br], that is devoid of a hydroxy arm, is significantly less effective for the same reaction. Neutral complex 1 a, obtained by deprotonation of the hydroxy arm in 1, is found to be active for the ADHC of alcohols and amines under base-free conditions. A combination of control experiments, deuterium labeling, kinetic Hammett studies, and DFT calculations support metal-hydroxyl/hydroxide and metal-metal cooperation for alcohol activation and dehydrogenation. The bridging acetate plays a crucial role in allowing β-hydride elimination to occur. The ligand architecture on the diruthenium core causes rapid aldehyde extrusion from the metal coordination sphere, which is responsible for exclusive imine formation. Ligand lends a hand: Metal-hydroxy/hydroxide and metal-metal cooperation is demonstrated for acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols to give aldehydes. The ligand architecture ensures rapid extrusion of the aldehyde from the metal core, resulting in the formation of the corresponding imine as the sole coupled product with amines (see scheme; DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane).

Visible Light Gold Nanocluster Photocatalyst: Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Amines to Imines

This work demonstrates the synthesis of an efficient photocatalyst, Au25(PPh3)10Cl2(SC3H6SiO3)5/TiO2, for selective oxidation of amines to imines. The photo

Solvent-free synthesis of imines via N-alkylation of aromatic amines with alcohols over Co2+-exchanged zeolites

Co2+-exchanged zeolite catalysts were prepared by an ion-exchange route and firstly applied in the N-alkylation of aromatic amines with alcohols to imines. For the N-alkylation of aniline with benzyl alcohol, the aniline conversion of 89.8 mol% with an imine selectivity of 100% was achieved over Co-13X at 433 K under optimal conditions. The results showed that many factors including the Co loading, the support, the temperature, the alkali, could influence the reactions. Investigations carried out by XRD, SEM and recycling studies indicated that the Co-13X catalyst still remained porous structures of 13X zeolite and possessed a stable catalytic activity.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Anti-Markovnikov Hydroamination of Aliphatic and Aromatic Terminal Alkynes with Aliphatic Primary Amines

Anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of both aliphatic and aromatic terminal alkynes with primary amines was achieved using an 8-quinolinolato rhodium catalyst to form aldimines and enamines in high yields. This catalytic system realized high functional group tolerance including hydroxy, bromo, cyano, and thioester groups.

Half-Sandwich Ruthenium Complexes Bearing Hemilabile κ2-(C,S)?Thioether-Functionalized NHC Ligands: Application to Amide Synthesis from Alcohol and Amine

Amide synthesis is one of the most crucial transformations in chemistry and biology. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ruthenium (Ru) catalyst systems have been proven to be active for direct synthesis of amides by sustainable acceptorless dehydrogenative Coupling of primary alcohols with amines. Most often, these catalytic systems usually use monodentate NHC and thus require an additional ligand to obtain high reactivity and selectivity. In this work, a series of cationic Ru(II)(η6-p-cymene) complexes with thioether-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (imidazole and benzimidazole-based) have been prepared and fully characterized. These complexes have then been used in the amidation reaction and the most promising one (i. e. 3 c) has been applied on a large range of substrates. High conversions albeit with moderate yields have generally been obtained.

Catalyst- And solvent-free efficient access to: N -alkylated amines via reductive amination using HBpin

A sustainable approach which works under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions for the synthesis of structurally diverse secondary amines has been uncovered. 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

Solid base catalyzed highly efficient N-alkylation of amines with alcohols in a solvent-free system

Different from any other catalytic systems containing transition metals and additives, sodium hydroxide itself was found to be a unique and effective catalyst for the solvent-free synthesis of the secondary amines via the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols. For the reaction of aniline with benzyl alcohol, 99.6 mol% conversion of aniline and 99.5% selectivity of the product were achieved under optimal conditions. Also, high conversion and selectivity could be acquired for the N-alkylations of various amines with alcohols, implying the universality of this methodology. Mechanistic studies revealed that this novel reaction most possibly proceeds with a base-catalyzed mechanism.

Competing benzyl cation transfers in the gas-phase fragmentation of the protonated benzyl phenylalaninates

In this study, the competing benzyl cation transfer reactions have been explored by investigating the gas phase chemistry of the protonated benzyl phenylalaninates. Protonation at the carboxylic O atom results in the breakage of the ester CO bond to afford the benzyl cation, which undergoes the competing migration to the amino N atom or the phenyl ring C atom. Both the amino and the phenyl ring hydrogen atoms can be activated to be mobile due to the electrophilic attack of the transferring benzyl cation, and migration of the activated hydrogen atom to the carboxylic hydroxyl leads to (H2O + CO) elimination of the precursor ion. Interestingly, it is much more preferred for the benzyl cation to transfer to the phenyl ring via the amino N, leading to the stepwise benzyl cation transfer, albeit the amino N atom contains more nucleophilic affinity. The mechanistic processes have been confirmed by the MS3 spectra data, along with D-labeling experiments and theoretical calculations.

Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3-catalyzed highly efficient direct synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines and imines

Versatile syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines by highly efficient direct N-alkylation of primary and secondary amines with alcohols or by deaminative self-coupling of primary amines have been successfully realized by means of a heterogeneous bimetallic Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst (0.5 wt % Pt, Pt/Sn molar ratio=1:3) through a borrowing-hydrogen strategy. In the presence of oxygen, imines were also efficiently prepared from the tandem reactions of amines with alcohols or between two primary amines. The proposed mechanism reveals that an alcohol or amine substrate is initially dehydrogenated to an aldehyde/ketone or NH-imine with concomitant formation of a [PtSn] hydride. Condensation of the aldehyde/ketone species or deamination of the NH-imine intermediate with another molecule of amine forms an N-substituted imine which is then reduced to a new amine product by the in-situ generated [PtSn] hydride under a nitrogen atmosphere or remains unchanged as the final product under an oxygen atmosphere. The Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O 3 catalyst can be easily recycled without Pt metal leaching and has exhibited very high catalytic activity toward a wide range of amine and alcohol substrates, which suggests potential for application in the direct production of secondary and tertiary amines and N-substituted imines.
