Both imidazol-2-ylidene (ImNHC) and 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (tzNHC) have evolved to be elite groups of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands for homogeneous catalysis. To develop efficient ruthenium(II)-based catalysts incorporating these ligands for C-N bond-forming reactions via hydrogen-borrowing methodology, we utilized chelating ligands integrated with ImNHC and mesoionic tzNHC donors connected via a CH2 spacer with a diverse triazole backbone. The synthesized ruthenium(II) complexes 3 are found to be highly efficient for C-N bond formation across a wide range of primary amine and alcohol substrates under solvent-free conditions, and among all of the complexes studied here, catalyst 3a with a mesityl substituent displayed maximum activity. To our delight, catalyst 3a is also effective for the selective mono-N-methylation of various anilines utilizing methanol as a coupling partner, known to be relatively more difficult than other alcohols. Furthermore, complex 3a also delivers various substituted quinolines successfully via the reaction of 2-aminobenzyl alcohol with several secondary alcohols. Importantly, catalyst 3a exhibited the highest activity among the reported ruthenium(II) complexes for both the N-benzylation of aniline [achieving a turnover number (TON) of 50000] and the realization of quinoline 8a by reacting 2-aminobenzyl alcohol with 2-phenylethanol (attaining a TON of 30000).

A series of N-heterocyclic carbene-iridium (NHC-Ir) coordination assemblies based on bis-pyrenoimidazolium salts are prepared, and shown to function as efficient solid molecular catalysts in selective mono-N-methylation of nitroarenes with methanol under mild conditions. The atomically dispersed active Ir(I) centers and the large π-conjugation rings endow the solid catalysts with an exceptionally high activity and selectivity for a broad substrate scope. Such solid NHC-Ir coordination assemblies are robust, which can be easily recovered and reused more than 10 runs without significant loss of their catalytic activity and selectivity. When combined with a subsequent formylation using the same solid catalysts under ambient conditions, this novel protocol can afford diverse formamides in excellent yields, further highlighting the applicability of the present solid catalysts for an efficient diversification of nitroarenes to a broad number of functional amines.

A manganese-catalyzed one-pot conversion of nitroarenes into N-methylarylamines has been developed. This transfer hydrogenation method employs a well-defined bench stable Mn PN3P pincer precatalyst in combination with methanol as both the reductant and the C1 source. A selection of commercially available nitroarenes was converted into N-methylarylamines in synthetically useful yields.

A procedure for the synthesis of N-methyl-arylamines directly from nitroarenes using methanol as green methylating agent was developed. The key to success is the use of a specific catalyst system consisting of palladium acetate and the ligand 1-[2,6-bis(isopropyl)phenyl]-2-[tert-butyl(2-pyridinyl)phosphino]-1H-Imidazole (L1). The generality of this protocol is demonstrated in the synthesis of more than 20 N-methyl-arylamines under comparably mild conditions. Combining this novel methodology with subsequent coupling processes using the same catalyst allows for efficient diversification of aromatic nitro compounds to a broad variety of amines including drug molecules.

We report herein the selective N-methylation of amines and nitroarenes with methanol under basic conditions using carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/C) as a heterogeneous catalyst. This method is widely applicable to four types of N-methylation reactions: (1) N,N-dimethylation of aliphatic amines under N2, (2) N-monomethylation of aliphatic amines under 40 bar H2, (3) N-monomethylation of aromatic amines under N2, and (4) tandem synthesis of N-methyl anilines from nitroarenes and methanol under 2 bar H2. All these reactions under the same catalytic system showed high yields of the corresponding methylamines for a wide range of substrates, high turnover number (TON), and good catalyst reusability. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeded via a borrowing hydrogen methodology. Kinetic results combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the high performance of Pt/C was ascribed to the moderate metal–hydrogen bond strength of Pt.

Without the requirement for base or other additives, Co2Rh2/C can selectively catalyze both mono- and bis-N-alkylation through the coupling of simple alcohols with amines, yielding a range of secondary and tertiary amines in good to excellent isolated yields. The reaction can be applied to benzyl alcohol with optically active 1-phenylethan-1-amines, and secondary amines were isolated in quantitative yields with an excellent enantiomeric excess (ee > 94%). Selectivity is achieved by varying the reaction temperature and amount of catalyst used. This catalytic system has several advantages including eco-friendliness and a simple workup procedure. The catalyst can be successfully recovered and reused ten times without any significant loss of activity.

A simple and an efficient method for the regioselective synthesis of N-alkyl/aryl/H 3-arylindole derivatives from N-substituted anilines and trans-β-nitrostyrenes has been described using 10 mol% of bismuth(iii) triflate as a catalyst in acetonitrile at 80 °C. The present protocol profits from the formation of new C-C and C-N bonds, broad substrate scope and moderate to good yields.

The synthesis of N-monomethylamine remains a challenging topic because the N,N-dimethylation reaction is thermodynamically favorable. In this work, the kinetically controlled N-monomethylamine synthesis from nitroarene and paraformaldehyde/H2 is reported to have superhigh N-monomethylamine selectivity in the presence of a Pd/TiO2 catalyst. The superior selectivity should be attributed to the preferential adsorption of the primary amine over N-monomethylamine on the Pd/TiO2 surface, as elucidated by NH3/Me2NH-TPD, while the excellent catalytic activity could be associated with the good H2 activation ability and high amine adsorbing capacity of the catalyst, as elucidated by NH3-TPD and H2-TPR tests. Good results were obtained with a variety of nitroarenes containing methyl, methoxyl, hydroxyl, fluoride, trifluoromethyl, ester, and amide substituents as starting materials, and the potential synthetic utility of this protocol in pharmaceutical is illustrated by N-monomethylation of drug molecules, such as clinidipine, nimesulide, procaine, and methyl aminosalicylate.
