A series of functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) were developed for the reductive functionalization of CO2 with amine and hydrosilane to afford formamides under mild conditions. It was found that 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-based IL i.e. [DBUC12]Br showed high efficiency for the N-formylation reaction of amines without using any organic solvents or additives. Furthermore, control experiments suggested the cations with active hydrogen may weaken the nucleophilicity of anions through ion pairing interactions, thereby affecting the activation of hydrosilane. The reaction mechanism was then investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. This protocol represents a highly efficient and environmentally friendly example for catalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added chemicals such as formamide derivatives by employing DBU functionalized ILs.

We report transamidation protocol to synthesize a range of secondary and tertiary amides from weakly nucleophilic aromatic and hetero-aryl amines with low reactive formamide derivatives, utilizing hydrochloric acid as catalyst. This current acid mediated strategy is beneficial because it eliminates the need for a metal catalyst, promoter or additives in the reaction, simplifies isolation and purification. Notably, this approach conventionally used to synthesize molecules on gram scales with excellent yields and a high tolerance for functional groups.

We report sodium trihydroxyaryl borates as the first robust tetracoordinate organoboron catalysts for reductive functionalization of CO2. These catalysts, easily synthesized from condensing boronic acids with metal hydroxides, activate main group element-hydrogen (E-H) bonds efficiently. In contrast to BX3 type boranes, boronic acids and metal-BAr4 salts, under transition metal-free conditions, sodium trihydroxyaryl borates exhibit high reactivity of reductive N-formylation toward a variety of amines (106 examples), including those with functional groups such as ester, olefin, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, halogen, MeS-, ether groups, etc. The over-performance to catalyze formylation of challenging pyridyl amines affords a promising alternative method to the use of traditional formylation reagents. Mechanistic investigation supports electrostatic interactions as the key for Si/B-H activation, enabling alkali metal borates as versatile catalysts for hydroborylation, hydrosilylation, and reductive formylation/methylation of CO2.

A bifunctional secondary phosphine oxide (SPO) ligand-controlled method was developed for Ni-Al-catalyzed nonchelated dual C-H annulation of arylformamides with alkynes, providing a series of substituted amide-containing heterocycles in ≤97% yield. The SPO-bound bimetallic catalysis proved to be critical to the reaction efficiency.

Catalytic fixation of CO2 to produce valuable fine chemicals is of great significance to develop a green and sustainable circulation of excessive carbon in the environment. Herein, a series of non-toxic, biodegradable and recyclable acetylcholine-carboxylate bio-ionic liquids with different cations and anions were simply synthesized for producing formamides and methylamines using atmospheric CO2 as a carbon source, and phenylsilane as a hydrogen donor. The selectivity toward products was tuned by altering the reaction temperature under solvent or solvent-free conditions. N-Methylamines (ca. 96% yield) were obtained in acetonitrile at 50 °C, while N-formamides (ca. 99% yield) were attained without a solvent at 30 °C. The established bio-ionic liquid catalytic system found a wide range of applicability in substrates and possessed a high potentiality in scale-up to gram-grade production. The developed catalytic system was fairly stable, which could be easily reused without an apparent loss of reactivity, possibly due to the strong electrostatic interactions between the cation and anion. The combination of experimental and computational results explicitly elucidated the reaction mechanism: PhSiH3 activated by a bio-IL was favorable for the formation of silyl formate from hydrosilylation of CO2, followed by a reaction with an amine to give an N-formamide, while an N-methylamine was formed by further hydrosilylation of the N-formamide.

A simple catalyst- and promoter-free protocol has been developed for the transamidation of weakly nucleophilic aromatic amines with formamide derivatives and low-reactivity tertiary amides with aliphatic amines. This strategy is advantageous because no catalyst or promoters are needed, no additives are required, separation and purification is easy, and the reaction is scalable. Significantly, this strategy was further applied to synthesize several pharmaceutical molecules on a gram scale, and excellent yields were achieved.

A simple catalyst- and additive-free method for the N-formylation of amines has been developed. The advantages of this protocol include a wide range of functional group tolerance, high efficiency and a lack of required extra promoters under mild conditions. This convenient strategy will provide a facile synthesis towards N-formamide natural products and pharmaceutical derivatives. A mechanism that involves difluorocarbene is proposed for this reaction.

An efficient and environmentally benign tungstate catalyst for reductive functionalization of CO2 with amines and phenylsilane was developed. By simply varying the pressure, 2-electron or 6-electron reduction of CO2 was successfully achieved with simultaneous C-N bond formation, thus leading to the formation of formamides and methylamines, respectively. That is, secondary and primary amines furnished the corresponding methylamines or dimethylamines in excellent yields under atmospheric pressure of CO2, while various formamides were formed in yields ranging from 52% to 98% when increasing the CO2 pressure to 2 MPa. 1H NMR studies and control experiments demonstrate that N-formylation proceeds through the formation of silyl formate, while N-methylation proceeds through an aminal intermediate generated by 4-electron reduction of CO2.
