Method for preparing amine compound by reducing amide compound

The invention relates to a method for preparing an amine compound by reducing an amide compound, which comprises the following steps: in a protective atmosphere, mixing the amide compound or cyclic amide, a zirconium metal catalyst and pinacol borane, carrying out amide reduction reaction at room temperature, and carrying out aftertreatment by using an ether solution of hydrogen chloride after 12-48 hours to obtain an amine hydrochloride compound. The method is simple to operate, low in cost, good in functional group tolerance and wide in substrate range.

Old Concepts, New Application – Additive-Free Hydrogenation of Nitriles Catalyzed by an Air Stable Alkyl Mn(I) Complex

An efficient additive-free manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines with molecular hydrogen is described. The pre-catalyst, a well-defined bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dpre)(CO)3(CH3)] (dpre=1,2-bis(di-n-propylphosphino)ethane), undergoes CO migratory insertion into the manganese-alkyl bond to form acyl complexes which upon hydrogenolysis yields the active coordinatively unsaturated Mn(I) hydride catalyst [Mn(dpre)(CO)2(H)]. A range of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles were efficiently and selectively converted into primary amines in good to excellent yields. The hydrogenation of nitriles proceeds at 100 °C with a catalyst loading of 2 mol % and a hydrogen pressure of 50 bar. Mechanistic insights are provided by means of DFT calculations. (Figure presented.).

Cobalt pincer complexes for catalytic reduction of nitriles to primary amines

Various cobalt pincer type complexes 1-6 were applied for the catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles to amines. Among these, catalyst 4 is the most efficient, allowing the reduction of aromatic as well as aliphatic nitriles in moderate to excellent yields.

Hydrogenation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Nitriles Using a Defined Ruthenium PNP Pincer Catalyst

Selective catalytic reductions of nitriles are presented using the commercially available Ru-Macho-BH complex. A variety of aliphatic, aromatic and (hetero)cyclic nitriles including industrially important adipodinitrile are hydrogenated to the corresponding primary amines. Modelling suggests the reaction follows an outer sphere hydrogenation mechanism.

A catalytic version of hypervalent aryl-λ3-iodane-induced Hofmann rearrangement of primary carboxamides: Iodobenzene as an organocatalyst and m-chloroperbenzoic acid as a terminal oxidant

The first catalytic version of hypervalent aryl-λ3- iodane-induced Hofmann rearrangement of primary carboxamides, which probably involves in situ generation of a tetracoordinated bis(aqua)(hydroxy)phenyl- λ3-iodane complex as an active oxidant from a catalytic amount of iodobenzene by the reaction with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in the presence of HBF4 in dichloromethane-water under mild conditions, was developed.

A convenient method for the preparation of primary amines using tritylamine

A simple method for the preparation of primary amines by treating N-tritylamines with trifluoroacetic acid has been established. The N-tritylamines were prepared by the reaction of alkyl halides or alkyl p-toluenesulfonates with tritylamine, or by the reaction of alkyl bromides with lithium tritylamide.

Transfer hydrogenation of nitriles with 2-propanol and Raney nickel

Raney nickel in refluxing 2-propanol containing 2% KOH is an effective catalytic system for reducing nitriles to amines.

A Simple Synthesis pf Primary Amines via their N,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl) Derivatives

Primary halogen compounds 1 or the corresponding tosylates react with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (2) in hexamethyldisilazane to form N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amines 3, which are converted into the amine hydrochlorides 5 by treatment with aqueous HCl.
