The transformation of alkyl nitriles to symmetrical and asymmetrical secondary aliphatic amines promoted by the hexahydride complex OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1) is described, and the mechanisms of the reactions involved are established. Complex 1 catalyzes the aforementioned transformations of aryl-, pyridyl-, and alkoxy-functionalized alkyl nitriles with linear or branched chains. The formation of the secondary amines involves primary imines, primary amines, and secondary imines as organic intermediates. The reactions take place under mild conditions (toluene, 100 °C, and 4 bar of H2). Stoichiometric reactions of 1 with pivalonitrile and 2-methoxyacetonitrile have allowed us to isolate the trihydride azavinylidene derivatives OsH3{═N═CHR}(PiPr3)2 (R = tBu (3), CH2OMe (4)). Their formation involves the insertion of the N-C triple bond of the substrates into an Os-H bond of the unsaturated tetrahydride OsH4(PiPr3)2 (A), which is generated by reductive elimination of H2 from the hexahydride precursor. The reaction of these trihydride azavinylidene species with H2 is the key step for the reduction of the N-C triple bond of the nitriles. In the absence of H2, the attack of A to the azavinylidene ligand produces the rupture of its C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond. As a consequence of this attack and the presence of primary imines and amines in the reaction media, the binuclear complexes (PiPr3)2H4Os(μ-CN)OsH3{κ1-N-(NH═CHCH2OMe)}(PiPr3)2 (5) and (PiPr3)2H4Os(μ-CN)OsH3{κ1-N-(NH2CH2CH2OMe)}(PiPr3)2 (6) have been isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, for 2-methoxyacetonitrile. DFT calculations reveal noticeable similarities between the hydrogenations of nitriles to primary imines and those of primary imines to primary amines.

The reactions of N-polyfluorophenylcarbonimidoyl dichlorides with primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic amines have been studied.With primary aliphatic amines, the reactions led to carbodiimides or guanidines, depending on the amount of amine.The carbodiimides obtained reacted with amines to form guanidines.The reactions with primary aromatic amines produced only triarylguanidines.N-Pentafluorophenylcarbonimidoyl dichloride (I) reacted with tetrafluoro-o-phenylene diamine to give 2-pentafluoroanilino-4,5,6,7-tetrafluorobenzimidazole.Polyfluorinated benzimidazole derivatives were also produced by the thermolysis of polyfluorinated triarylguanidines.Heating of N1,N2,N3-tris(pentafluorophenyl)guanidine with K2CO3 in dimethylformamide led to 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10-octafluoro-5-pentafluorophenyl-5H-benzimidazobenzimidazole.N-Polyfluorophenylcarbonimidoyl dichlorides reacted with various secondary amines alredy at room temperature giving N-polyfluorophenylchloroformamidines in high yields.Elevated temperature and prolonged reaction time led to formation of N-polyfluorophenylguanidines.Kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of N-polyfluorophenylcarbonimidoyl dichlorides with primary and secondary amines in acetonitrile at 25 deg C have been studied.The reactions have been found to proceed by a bimolecular nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism via a tetrahedral intermediate.Possible reasons of formation of different products in the above transformations are discussed in terms of this mechanism.
