Ethyl cyclohexene-1-carboxylate (1) undergoes reaction with various aromatic substrates in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to give cis-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydrofluoren-9-ones 3a-f which on dehydrogenation afforded the corresponding fluoren-9-ones 4a-f in good yield. Fluorenones with an alkoxy group in the meta-orientation with respect to carbonyl group have also been prepared.

In this paper, an inexpensive heterogeneous copper nanoparticles catalyst derived from CuAl-layered double hydroxide via an in situ topotactic transformation process was developed. Cu nanoparticles with uniform size were homogeneously dispersed on amorphous Al2O3 with strong metal-support interaction. Characterization results reveals that the Cu0 and Cu+ were simultaneously formed with Cu+ species as the dominant sites on the surface during the reduction process. The resultant catalyst Cu/Al2O3 demonstrates high catalytic activity, selectivity and durability for the reductive N-methylation of easily available nitroarenes in a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and cascade manner. A broad spectrum of nitroarenes could be efficiently N-methylated to their corresponding N,N-dimethyl amines with good compatibility of various functional groups. The protocol is also applicable for the late-stage functionalization of biologically and pharmaceutically active nitro molecules. A structure-function relationship discloses that Cu0 and Cu+ sites on the surface pronouncedly boosts the reaction efficiency in a synergistic manner, in which Cu0 could facilitate H2 production and N-methylation of anilines, while Cu+ is considerably more active and participates in the overall process of the selective N-methylation of nitroarenes. Moreover, the catalyst also showed a strong stability and could be easily separated for successive reuses without an appreciable loss in activity and selectivity.

N-Methyl- and N-alkylamines represent important fine and bulk chemicals that are extensively used in both academic research and industrial production. Notably, these structural motifs are found in a large number of life-science molecules and play vital roles in regulating their activities. Therefore, the development of convenient and cost-effective methods for the synthesis and functionalization of amines by using earth-abundant metal-based catalysts is of scientific interest. In this regard, herein we report an expedient reductive amination process for the selective synthesis of N-methylated and N-alkylated amines by using nitrogen-doped, graphene-activated nanoscale Co3O4-based catalysts. Starting from inexpensive and easily accessible nitroarenes or amines and aqueous formaldehyde or aldehydes in the presence of formic acid, this cost-efficient reductive amination protocol allows the synthesis of various N-methyl- and N-alkylamines, amino acid derivatives, and existing drug molecules.
