Discovery of a metalloenzyme-like cooperative catalytic system of metal nanoclusters and catechol derivatives for the aerobic oxidation of amines

We have discovered a new class of cooperative catalytic system, consisting of heterogeneous polymer-immobilized bimetallic Pt/Ir alloyed nanoclusters (NCs) and 4-tert-butylcatechol, for the aerobic oxidation of amines to imines under ambient conditions. After optimization, the desired imines were obtained in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope. The reaction rate was determined to be first-order with respect to the substrate and catechol and zero-order for the alloyed Pt/Ir NC catalyst. Control studies revealed that both the heterogeneous NC catalyst and 4-tert-butylcatechol are essential and act cooperatively to facilitate the aerobic oxidation under mild conditions.

Reactions of N-Chlorobenzylalkylamines with Sodium Methoxide in Methanol. Steric Effects in Elimination Reactions

Reactions of N-chlorobenzylalkylamines in which the alkyl group is Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, and sec-Bu with MeONa-MeOH have been investigated kinetically.The eliminations are quantitative and regiospecific, producing only benzylidenealkylamines.The reactions are first order in base and first order in substrate, and an E2 mechanism is evident.The relative rates of elimination at 25 deg C are 1/0.5/0.3/0.2/0.01 for Me/Et/i-Pr/sec-Bu/t-Bu alkyl substituents, respectively.The results are attributed to repulsive interaction between the alkyl group and the base in the transition state.Hammett ρ and kH/kD values decreased, but the ΔH(excit.) and ΔS(excit.) values increased with bulkier alkyl substituents.Changes in the transition-state parameters with the substrate steric effect are interpreted with variation in structure of the imine-forming transition states.
