Rhodium catalysts with cofactor mimics for the biomimetic reduction of CN bonds

A strategy based on the cooperation between metal and bonded cofactor mimics was applied to the transfer hydrogenation of CN bonds. We designed and synthesized a rhodium complex containing a 1,3-dimethylbenzoimidazole moiety, which could transfer hydride from a rhodium center to imine substrates in a biomimetic way. Under both transfer hydrogenation and reductive amination reaction conditions, the catalyst exhibited good selectivity towards CN bonds. With the catalyst, 34 imines were transfer hydrogenated to corresponding amines and a key intermediate of retigabine was prepared via reductive amination in a greener way. According to the NMR observations and isotope experiments, a plausible mechanism for this biomimetic reduction of CN bonds were proposed.

Five-Coordinate Low-Spin {FeNO}7 PNP Pincer Complexes

The synthesis and characterization of air-stable cationic mono nitrosonium Fe(I) PNP pincer complexes of the type [Fe(PNP)(NO)Cl]+ are described. These complexes are obtained via direct nitroslyation of [Fe(PNP)Cl2] with nitric oxide at ambient pressure. On the basis of magnetic and EPR measurements as well as DFT calculations, these compounds were found to adopt a low-spin d7 configuration and feature a nearly linear bound NO ligand suggesting FeINO+ rather than FeIINO? character. X-ray structures of all nitrosonium Fe(I) PNP complexes are presented. Preliminary investigations reveal that [Fe(PNPNH-iPr)(NO)(Cl)]+ efficiently catalyzes the conversion of primary alcohols and aromatic and benzylic amines to yield mono N-alkylated amines in good isolated yields.

One-pot reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes using formic acid as the hydrogen donor and mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride supported AgPd alloy nanoparticles as the heterogeneous catalyst

Herein, we report a one-pot protocol for the synthesis of secondary amines via a tandem reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroaromatics utilizing mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C3N4) supported AgPd alloy nanoparticles (mpg-C3N4/AgPd) as the catalyst, FA as the hydrogen donor and water as the sole solvent, which is a protocol in harmony with the green chemistry rules. In the present one-pot catalytic reductive amination protocol, a variety of secondary amines (11 examples) were yielded by using nitroarenes as a nitrogen source and benzaldehyde in the presence of the mpg-C3N4/AgPd nanocatalyst, which is the first example in the literature. Monodisperse AgPd alloy NPs (2.5 ± 0.5 nm) were synthesized by using our established protocol via the co-reduction of silver(i) acetate and palladium(ii) acetylacetonate in the presence of oleylamine and oleic acid as surfactants in a hot organic solvent. The as-prepared AgPd alloy nanoparticles were then deposited on mpg-C3N4via a liquid phase self-assembly method. After the structural characterization of the mpg-C3N4/AgPd nanocatalyst using TEM, PXRD, BET and ICP-MS analyses, they were directly tested in one-pot direct reductive amination reactions in which they showed superior activity. The applicability of the present one-pot reductive amination strategy was demonstrated over a variety of aldehydes and nitroarenes (11 examples). Moreover, the mpg-C3N4/AgPd catalyst was a reusable catalyst in the reductive amination reactions providing 99% yield even after five consecutive runs.

Co(II) PCP Pincer Complexes as Catalysts for the Alkylation of Aromatic Amines with Primary Alcohols

Efficient alkylations of amines by alcohols catalyzed by well-defined Co(II) complexes are described that are stabilized by a PCP ligand (N,N′-bis(diisopropylphosphino)-N,N′-dimethyl-1,3-diaminobenzene) based on the 1,3-diaminobenzene scaffold. This reaction is an environmentally benign process implementing inexpensive, earth-abundant nonprecious metal catalysts and is based on the acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation concept. A range of primary alcohols and aromatic amines were efficiently converted into mono-N-alkylated amines in good to excellent isolated yields.

Air Stable Iron(II) PNP Pincer Complexes as Efficient Catalysts for the Selective Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols

A series of well-defined iron(II) complexes of the types [Fe(PNP)Br2] and [Fe(PNP)(CO)Br2] with PNP pincer ligands based on triazine and pyridine backbones were prepared and fully characterized. These complexes were tested as catalysts for the alkylation of amines by alcohols. The high-spin complexes [Fe(PNP)Br2] are catalytically inactive. The low-spin complexes [Fe(PNP)(CO)Br2] bearing a carbonyl co-ligand efficiently and selectively convert primary alcohols and aromatic and benzylic amines selectively into mono-N-alkylated amines in good to excellent isolated yields. A mechanistic proposal is given. (Figure presented.).

Divergent Coupling of Alcohols and Amines Catalyzed by Isoelectronic Hydride MnIand FeIIPNP Pincer Complexes

Herein, we describe an efficient coupling of alcohols and amines catalyzed by well-defined isoelectronic hydride MnIand FeIIcomplexes, which are stabilized by a PNP ligand based on the 2,6-diaminopyridine scaffold. This reaction is an environmentally benign process implementing inexpensive, earth-abundant non-precious metal catalysts, and is based on the acceptorless alcohol dehydrogenation concept. A range of alcohols and amines including both aromatic and aliphatic substrates were efficiently converted in good to excellent isolated yields. Although in the case of Mn selectively imines were obtained, with Fe—exclusively monoalkylated amines were formed. These reactions proceed under base-free conditions and required the addition of molecular sieves.

Ethynyl ketene-S,S-acetals: The highly reactive electron-rich dienophiles and applications in the synthesis of 4-functionalized quinolines via a one-pot three-component reaction

(Chemical Equation Presented) An efficient synthetic method for 4-functionalized quinoline derivatives, 4-((1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)methyl) quinolines, has been developed. Mediated by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, ethynyl ketene-S,S-acetals can react in a one-pot procedure with various arylamines and aldehydes under mild conditions to give the corresponding quinoline derivatives in good to high yields via a consecutive arylimine formation, regiospecific aza-Diels-Alder (Povarov) reaction, and reductive amination.

Efficient protocol for reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with sodium borohydride in an ionic liquid/H2O system

The imines were generated in situ from carbonyl compounds and amines, which undergo smooth reduction with sodium borohydride in an ionic liquid/H 2O solvent system. The reaction conditions were very mild and neutral to afford the corresponding highly functionalized amines in excellent yields. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
