Some pharmacologically active amines such as amphetamine, the isomeric o-, m- and p-methoxyamphetamines, 4-phenylbutan-2-amine and mexiletine, as well as their corresponding acetamides, have been prepared in high yields and with very high enantiomeric excesses. The method consists of the Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B)-mediated enantioselective acetylation of racemic amines using ethyl acetate as solvent and acyl donor. The enzyme follows Kazlauskas' rule with all amines, (R)-amides being obtained as the major enantiomer in all cases. From the conversion values measured for both enantiomers, it can be deduced that the size of the substituents attached to the stereocenter is responsible for the enantioselectivity and rate of some of these reactions.

The reductive amination of ketones and aldehydes by ammonia is a highly attractive method for the synthesis of primary amines. The use of catalysts, especially reusable catalysts, based on earth-abundant metals is similarly appealing. Here, the iron-catalyzed synthesis of primary amines through reductive amination was realized. A broad scope and a very good tolerance of functional groups were observed. Ketones, including purely aliphatic ones, aryl–alkyl, dialkyl, and heterocyclic, as well as aldehydes could be converted smoothly into their corresponding primary amines. In addition, the amination of pharmaceuticals, bioactive compounds, and natural products was demonstrated. Many functional groups, such as hydroxy, methoxy, dioxol, sulfonyl, and boronate ester substituents, were tolerated. The catalyst is easy to handle, selective, and reusable and ammonia dissolved in water could be employed as the nitrogen source. The key is the use of a specific Fe complex for the catalyst synthesis and an N-doped SiC material as catalyst support.

A method for the nucleophilic amination of methoxy arenes was established by using sodium hydride (NaH) in the presence of lithium iodide (LiI). This method offers an efficient route to benzannulated nitrogen heterocycles. Mechanistic studies showed that the reaction proceeds through an unusual concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution.
