Addition of nickel/aluminum alloy to alkaline solutions of compounds containing N-N or N-O bonds appears to offer a general and convenient means for reducing such compounds to the corresponding amines.The method has been successfully applied to the reduction of nitrosamines, hydrazines, hydroxylamines, hydroxylamine ethers, triazenes, nitramines, N-oxides, tetrazenes, and nitroso, azo, and azoxy compounds.

N,N'-Oxalyl and N,N'-malonyl derivatives of indigo and 6,6'-di-t-butylindigo were reduced with high quantum efficiencies to their semi-reduced radicals by visible light irradiation in the presence of tertiary amines.These semi-reduced radicals were reversibly autoxidized and thus oxidative dealkylation of tertiary amines was catalyzed photochemically by these indigos.

The reductive amination of carboxylic acids is a very green, efficient and sustainable method for the production of (bio-based) amines. However, with current technology, this reaction requires two to three reaction steps. Here, we report the first (heterogeneous) catalytic system for the one-pot reductive amination of carboxylic acids to amines, with solely H2 and NH3 as the reactants. This reaction can be performed with relatively cheap ruthenium-tungsten bimetallic catalysts in the green and benign solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME). Selectivities of up to 99% for the primary amine could be achieved at high conversions. Additionally, the catalyst is recyclable and tolerant for common impurities such as water and cations (e.g. sodium carboxylate).
Amination of aliphatic alcohols with urea catalyzed by ruthenium complexes: effect of supporting ligands
Dindar, Sara,Nemati Kharat, Ali
, (2020/09/02)
In the present study, ruthenium-catalyzed amination of alcohols by urea as a convenient ammonia carrier in the presence of free diphosphine ligands has been described. A number of ruthenium-phosphine complexes have been studied among which, [(Cp)RuCl(dppe)] was found as an efficient catalyst for alcohol amination reaction. The crystal structures of two new half-sandwich ruthenium complexes, [(Cp)RuCl(dppe)] and [(C6H6)RuCl2(PHEt2)], were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Also the effect of using different supporting phosphines, ratio of raw materials and reaction temperature on conversion and selectivity was investigated. Under optimum reaction conditions high conversion (98percent) and chemo-selectivity toward secondary amines were obtained.

The synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines (ASA) is commonly achieved by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols. Here, we investigated the ASA synthesis via the direct amination of alcohols with nitriles, which avoids the synthesis, separation and purification of the primary amines in a first step. Specifically, the ASA synthesis via N-alkylation of butyronitrile (BN) with primary (n-propanol, iso-butanol and n-octanol) and secondary (2‐propanol, 2‐butanol and 2‐octanol) alcohols was studied on SiO2-supported Co, Ni and Ru catalysts. Competitive BN hydrogenation‐condensation reactions formed dibutylamine (the symmetric secondary amine) and tertiary amines as main secondary products. On Co/SiO2, the ASA selectivities for BN/primary alcohol reactions were between 49 and 58% at complete BN conversion, forming dibutylamine and tertiary amines as byproducts. For BN/secondary alcohol reactions, Co/SiO2 formed selectively (ASA + dibutylamine) mixtures containing 78–85% of ASA, thereby showing that the alcohol amination with nitriles is an attractive alternative route for the synthesis of valuable asymmetric secondary amines.

A new ruthenium catalytic system for the syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines via reductive N-alkylation of nitriles and N-alkylation of primary amines is proposed. Isomeric complexes 8 catalyze transfer hydrogenation and N-alkylation of nitriles in ethanol to give secondary amines. Unsymmetrical secondary amines can be produced by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Aliphatic amines were obtained with excellent yields, while only moderate conversions were observed for anilines. Based on kinetic and mechanistic studies, it is suggested that the rate determining step is the hydrogenation of intermediate imine to amine. Finally, ammonium formate was applied as the amination reagent for alcohols in the presence of ruthenium catalyst 8. Secondary amines were obtained from primary alcohols within 24 hours at 100 °C, and tertiary amines can be produced after prolonged heating. Secondary alcohols can only be converted to secondary amines with moderate yield. Based on mechanistic studies, the process is suggested to proceed through an ammonium alkoxy carbonate intermediate, where carbonate acts as an efficient leaving group.
Effect of the catalyst preparation method on the performance of Ni-supported catalysts for the synthesis of saturated amines from nitrile hydrogenation
Segobia,Trasarti,Apesteguía
, p. 1693 - 1703 (2019/11/11)
The liquid-phase hydrogenation of butyronitrile to saturated amines was studied on silica-supported Ni catalysts prepared by either incipient-wetness impregnation (Ni/SiO2-I) or ammonia (Ni/SiO2-A) methods. A Ni/SiO2-Al2O3-I sample was also used. Ni/SiO2-I was a non-acidic catalyst containing large Ni0 particles of low interaction with the support, while Ni/SiO2-A was an acidic catalyst due to the presence of Ni2+ species in Ni phyllosilicates of low reducibility. Ni/SiO2-I formed essentially butylamine (80%), and dibutylamine as the only byproduct. In contrast, Ni/SiO2-A yielded a mixture of dibutylamine (49%) and tributylamine (45%), being the formation of butylamine almost completely suppressed. The selective formation of secondary and tertiary amines on Ni/SiO2-A was explained by considering that butylamine is not release to the liquid phase during the reaction because it is strongly adsorbed on surface acid sites contiguous to Ni0 atoms, thereby favoring the butylimine/butylamine condensation to higher amines between adsorbed species.

The use of triglycerides as an important class of biomass is an effective strategy to realize a more sustainable society. Herein, three heterogeneous catalytic methods are reported for the selective one-pot transformation of triglycerides into value-added chemicals: i) the reductive amination of triglycerides into fatty amines with aqueous NH3 under H2 promoted by ZrO2-supported Pt clusters; ii) the amidation of triglycerides under gaseous NH3 catalyzed by high-silica H-beta (Hβ) zeolite at 180 °C; iii) the Hβ-promoted synthesis of nitriles from triglycerides and gaseous NH3 at 220 °C. These methods are widely applicable to the transformation of various triglycerides (C4–C18 skeletons) into the corresponding amines, amides, and nitriles.

Nickel nanoparticles on the BAU-A active carbon or NaX zeolite catalyze hydrogenation of imines and enamines in a flow reactor in a gas phase or in a gas–liquid–solid catalyst system. The process occurs at atmospheric pressure of hydrogen and gives secondary or tertiary amines in a high yield.

The catalytic system generated in situ from the tetranuclear Ru-H complex with a catechol ligand (1/L1) was found to be effective for the direct deaminative coupling of two primary amines to form secondary amines. The catalyst 1/L1 was highly chemoselective for promoting the coupling of two different primary amines to afford unsymmetric secondary amines. The analogous coupling of aniline with primary amines formed aryl-substituted secondary amines. The treatment of aniline-d7 with 4-methoxybenzylamine led to the coupling product with significant deuterium incorporation on CH2 (18% D). The most pronounced carbon isotope effect was observed on the α-carbon of the product isolated from the coupling reaction of 4-methoxybenzylamine (C(1) = 1.015(2)). A Hammett plot was constructed from measuring the rates of the coupling reaction of 4-methoxyaniline with a series of para-substituted benzylamines 4-X-C6H4CH2NH2 (X = OMe, Me, H, F, CF3) (ρ = -0.79 ± 0.1). A plausible mechanistic scheme has been proposed for the coupling reaction on the basis of these results. The catalytic coupling method provides an operationally simple and chemoselective synthesis of secondary amine products without using any reactive reagents or forming wasteful byproducts.
