Usage

General Description

N-[(4-methylphenyl)methyl]aniline, also known as p-tolylbenzylamine, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H15N. It is a white to light brown crystalline solid with a melting point of 36-38°C. N-[(4-methylphenyl)methyl]aniline is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in the production of dyes and pigments. It is considered to be slightly toxic and should be handled with care due to its potential to cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Additionally, it may have harmful effects on aquatic organisms and is considered to be environmentally hazardous.

Palladium(II) acetate-catalyzed reduction of imines to the corresponding amines by triethylsilane

Reduction of a variety of imine compounds with triethylsilane in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium(II) acetate in ethanol resulted in the formation of the corresponding amines in excellent yields after short reaction times. Copyright

Reusable Co-nanoparticles for general and selectiveN-alkylation of amines and ammonia with alcohols

A general cobalt-catalyzedN-alkylation of amines with alcohols by borrowing hydrogen methodology to prepare different kinds of amines is reported. The optimal catalyst for this transformation is prepared by pyrolysis of a specific templated material, which is generatedin situby mixing cobalt salts, nitrogen ligands and colloidal silica, and subsequent removal of silica. Applying this novel Co-nanoparticle-based material, >100 primary, secondary, and tertiary amines includingN-methylamines and selected drug molecules were conveniently prepared starting from inexpensive and easily accessible alcohols and amines or ammonia.

Hydrosilylation and Mukaiyama aldol-type reaction of quinolines and hydrosilylation of imines catalyzed by a mesoionic carbene-stabilized borenium ion

Aldimines and ketimines containing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups can be hydrosilylated with borenium catalysts at as low as 1 mol% catalyst loading at room temperature, providing the corresponding secondary amines in excellent yields. Reactions with 2-phenylquinoline gave the 1,4-hydrosilylquinoline product selectively which can be further functionalized in a one-pot synthesis to give unique γ-amino alcohol derivatives. Control experiments suggest that the borenium ion catalyzes both the hydrosilylation and subsequent addition to the aldehyde.

Silver/manganese dioxide nanorod catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing reactions and tert-butyl ester synthesis

Silver/manganese dioxide (Ag@MnO2) nanorods are synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was discovered that Ag@MnO2 nanorods can realize hydrogen-borrowing reactions in high yields and are also effective for the synthesis of tert-butyl esters from aryl cyanides and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in a short period of time. Mechanistic experiments revealed that this catalytic system acts as a Lewis acid in hydrogen-borrowing reactions, while the synthesis of tert-butyl esters occurs through a radical pathway. This is the first report on the excellent catalytic activity of Ag@MnO2 nanorods as a catalyst.
