Photoimmobilized Ni Clusters Boost Photodehydrogenative Coupling of Amines to Imines via Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Kinetics

Imines are important precursors for pharmaceutical, agricultural, and synthetic chemistry. The state-of-art synthesis of imines via condensation of amines with aldehydes or ketones often uses homogeneous catalysts and dehydrating agents to promote the elimination of water, which requires huge manpower input for the late-stage purification process and is usually environmentally unfriendly. Photocatalytic synthesis of imines from amines oxidation via the release of hydrogen (H2) is of great promise due to the mild reaction characteristics; however, the efficiency of such a reaction lags due to the missing designed photocatalyst owing to the ambiguous reaction mechanism. Here, we demonstrate that by constructing in situ photoimmobilized Ni clusters on the CdS photocatalyst, the generation of imines is dramatically improved with the rapid release of molecular H2 under visible light illumination. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the adsorption of photogenerated hydrogen atoms during the dehydrogenation of amines is significantly weakened on Ni clusters, thus resulting in fast C-N coupling kinetics for the generation of imines. The photocatalyst presents stable performance with high efficiency. A remarkably apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of ?44% is realized under 420 nm irradiation for the conversion of 4-methoxybenzylamine within six consecutive runs. Furthermore, a series of primary and secondary amines bearing different functional groups (i.e., heterocyclic, aliphatic, N-heterocycles) that are synthetically challenging by the condensation process can be selectively converted to the corresponding imines, featuring its application prospect.

A novel water-dispersible and magnetically recyclable nickel nanoparticles for the one-pot reduction-Schiff base condensation of nitroarenes in pure water

In this work, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst called Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal was first synthesized, which was investigated as a bifunctional catalyst containing nickel functional groups. On the other hand, this Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst in aqueous solvents shows a very effective performance at ambient temperature for the nitroarene reduction reaction with sodium borohydride, for which NaBH4 is considered as a reducing agent. This is a novelty magnetic catalyst that was approved by various methods, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses. From the satisfactory results obtained from the reduction of nitrogen, this catalytic system is used for a one-pot protocol containing a reduction-Schiff base concentration of diverse nitroarenes. It was corroborated with the heterogeneous catalytic experiments on the one-pot tandem synthesis of imines from nitroarenes and aldehydes. Finally, the novel Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst could function as a more economically desirable and environmentally amicable in the catalysis field. The favorable products are acquired in good to high performance in the attendance of Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal as a bifunctional catalyst. This catalyst can be recycled up to six steps without losing a sharp drop.

Iron(II)-Catalyzed Aerobic Biomimetic Oxidation of Amines using a Hybrid Hydroquinone/Cobalt Catalyst as Electron Transfer Mediator

Herein we report the first FeII-catalyzed aerobic biomimetic oxidation of amines. This oxidation reaction involves several electron transfer steps and is inspired by biological oxidation in the respiratory chain. The electron transfer from the amine to molecular oxygen is aided by two coupled catalytic redox systems, which lower the energy barrier and improve the selectivity of the oxidation reaction. An iron hydrogen transfer complex was utilized as the substrate-selective dehydrogenation catalyst along with a bifunctional hydroquinone/cobalt Schiff base complex as a hybrid electron transfer mediator. Various primary and secondary amines were oxidized in air to their corresponding aldimines or ketimines in good to excellent yield.

Tandem imine formationviaauto-hydrogen transfer from alcohols to nitro compounds catalyzed by a nanomagnetically recyclable copper catalyst under solvent-free conditions

A direct imination reaction was developed by tandem reaction of alcohols and nitro compounds in the presence of Cu-isatin Schiff base-γ-Fe2O3as a nanomagnetically recyclable catalyst under solvent-free conditions. By this method, various imines were prepared in good to high yields from one-pot reaction of various alcohols (primary aromatic and aliphatic) and nitro compounds (aromatic and aliphatic)viaan auto-hydrogen transfer reaction. Use of an inexpensive and easily reusable catalyst, without requiring any additives or excess amounts of benzyl alcohol as the reaction solvent are the other advantages of this method. This catalytic system has the merits of cost effectiveness, environmental benignity, excellent recyclability and good reproducibility.

Iron-Catalyzed Hydrogen Transfer Reduction of Nitroarenes with Alcohols: Synthesis of Imines and Aza Heterocycles

A straightforward and selective reduction of nitroarenes with various alcohols was efficiently developed using an iron catalyst via a hydrogen transfer methodology. This protocol led specifically to imines in 30-91% yields, with a good functional group tolerance. Noticeably, starting from o-nitroaniline derivatives, in the presence of alcohols, benzimidazoles can be obtained in 64-72% yields when the reaction was performed with an additional oxidant, DDQ, and quinoxalines were prepared from 1,2-diols in 28-96% yields. This methodology, unprecedented at iron for imines, also provides a sustainable alternative for the preparation of quinoxalines and benzimidazoles.

Arene diruthenium(II)-mediated synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines under aerobic condition

The utility and selectivity of the newly synthesized dinuclear arene Ru(II) complex were demonstrated towards the synthesis of imines from coupling of alcohols and amines in the aerobic condition. Analytical and various spectral methods have been used to establish the unprecedented formation of the new thiolato-bridged dinuclear ruthenium complex. The molecular structure of the titled complex was evidenced with aid of X-ray crystallographic technique. A wide range of imines were obtained in good-to-excellent yields up to 98% and water as the by-product through an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with amines. The catalytic reaction operated a concise atom economical without any oxidant with 1 mol% of the catalyst load. Further, the role of base, solvent and catalyst loading of the coupling reaction has been investigated. A plausible mechanism has been described and was found to proceed via the formation of an aldehyde intermediate. Short synthesis of antibacterial drug N-(salicylidene)-2-hydroxyaniline illustrated the utility of the present protocol.

Azetidinimines as a novel series of non-covalent broad-spectrum inhibitors of β-lactamases with submicromolar activities against carbapenemases KPC-2 (class A), NDM-1 (class B) and OXA-48 (class D)

The occurrence of resistances in Gram negative bacteria is steadily increasing to reach extremely worrying levels and one of the main causes of resistance is the massive spread of very efficient β-lactamases which render most β-lactam antibiotics useless. Herein, we report the development of a series of imino-analogues of β-lactams (namely azetidinimines) as efficient non-covalent inhibitors of β-lactamases. Despite the structural and mechanistic differences between serine-β-lactamases KPC-2 and OXA-48 and metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1, all three enzymes can be inhibited at a submicromolar level by compound 7dfm, which can also repotentiate imipenem against a resistant strain of Escherichia coli expressing NDM-1. We show that 7dfm can efficiently inhibit not only the three main clinically-relevant carbapenemases of Ambler classes A (KPC-2), B (NDM-1) and D (OXA-48) with Ki's below 0.3 μM, but also the cephalosporinase CMY-2 (class C, 86% inhibition at 10 μM). Our results pave the way for the development of a new structurally original family of non-covalent broad-spectrum inhibitors of β-lactamases.

Au(I) Catalyzed Synthesis of Densely Substituted Pyrazolines and Dihydropyridines via Sequential Aza-Enyne Metathesis/6π-Electrocyclization

A gold(I) autotandem catalysis protocol is reported for the de novo synthesis of densely substituted pyrazolines and dihydropyridines from the corresponding imine derivatives in a highly regioselective fashion via a one-pot aza-enyne metathesis/6π-electrocyclization sequence. The substituents on the nitrogen atom of the imine perfectly control the reaction pathways from the pivotal 1-azabutadiene intermediate; thus, carbazates were converted into pyrazolines via 6π-electrocyclization of α,β-unsaturated hydrazones, while aryl imines provided dihydropyridines via 6π-electrocyclization of 3-azahexatrienes.
