, p. 701 - 714 (2020)
Abstract: In this study, for the first time, the copper(II) nanoparticles (NPs) have been immobilized on metformin-functionalized graphene oxide and then its catalytic applications have been investigated in synthesis of amides from aldoximes (Beckmann rearrangement). The chemical structure of prepared catalyst has been characterized by various analyses like FT-IR, TGA, TEM, SEM, EDX, and ICP. All analyses confirm the successful and stable immobilization of copper NPs on functionalized graphene oxide. This synthesized heterogeneous nanocatalyst showed excellent catalytic activity with high product yields and short reaction times. Also, the suggested catalyst could be recycled ten times without a drastic decrease in its catalytic activity. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Herein we describe the synthesis of a series of nickel complexes, including the formation of [(iPrPNHP)Ni(PMe3)][BPh4] (iPrPNHP = HN(CH2CH2(PiPr2))2). The ability of this phosphine complex to perform the 1,2-addition of H2O to produce the Ni-OH species [(iPrPNHP)NiOH][BPh4] has been investigated. The nucleophilicity of the hydroxide moiety of both [(iPrPNHP)NiOH][BPh4] and the previously reported (iPrPNHP)MnOH(CO)2 was investigated through the hydration of aryl and alkyl nitriles, leading to the formation of a number of metal carboxamide (RC(O)NH-) bonds. This reactivity generated complexes with the general structures of [(iPrPNHP)Ni(NHC(O)R)][BPh4] for nickel and (iPrPNHP)Mn(NHC(O)R)(CO)2 for manganese. Under catalytic conditions, the hydration of nitriles using nickel complexes yielded only a single turnover. However, (iPrPNHP)MnOH(CO)2 produced several turnovers, and the reaction conditions were probed for optimization.

, p. 1 - 6 (2017)
Three ruthenium(II) p-cymene complexes containing oxygen–nitrogen mixed ligands [Ru(p-cymene)LCl] [HL = 2-(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)phenol (2a); HL = 2-(4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)phenol (2b); HL = 2-(5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-yl)phenol (2c)] have been synthesized and characterized. All half-sandwich ruthenium complexes were fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectra, elemental analyses and infrared spectrometry. The molecular structure of ruthenium complex 2c was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Furthermore, these half-sandwich ruthenium complexes are active catalysts for the hydration of nitriles to amides in the presence of sodium hydroxide in isopropanol.
Synthesis of a copper(ii) complex covalently anchoring a (2-iminomethyl)phenol moiety supported on HAp-encapsulated-α-Fe2O3 as an inorganic-organic hybrid magnetic nanocatalyst for the synthesis of primary and secondary amides

, p. 44524 - 44529 (2015)
A novel hydroxyapatite-encapsulated-α-Fe2O3-based Cu(ii) organic-inorganic hybrid (interphase) catalyst was prepared. The prepared nanocatalyst provided an efficient, useful and green method for the oxidative amidation of aromatic aldehydes with ammonium hydrochloride and aniline hydrochloride, in short reaction times and good yields. The magnetic nature of the catalyst led to its easy recovery by an external magnetic field and convenient reuse.
Nitrogen Atom Transfer Catalysis by Metallonitrene C?H Insertion: Photocatalytic Amidation of Aldehydes

C?H amination and amidation by catalytic nitrene transfer are well-established and typically proceed via electrophilic attack of nitrenoid intermediates. In contrast, the insertion of (formal) terminal nitride ligands into C?H bonds is much less developed and catalytic nitrogen atom transfer remains unknown. We here report the synthesis of a formal terminal nitride complex of palladium. Photocrystallographic, magnetic, and computational characterization support the assignment as an authentic metallonitrene (Pd?N) with a diradical nitrogen ligand that is singly bonded to PdII. Despite the subvalent nitrene character, selective C?H insertion with aldehydes follows nucleophilic selectivity. Transamidation of the benzamide product is enabled by reaction with N3SiMe3. Based on these results, a photocatalytic protocol for aldehyde C?H trimethylsilylamidation was developed that exhibits inverted, nucleophilic selectivity as compared to typical nitrene transfer catalysis. This first example of catalytic C?H nitrogen atom transfer offers facile access to primary amides after deprotection.

, p. 52 - 62 (2021/02/06)
A novel protocol for CuCl2-promoted oxidative C-N bond cleavage of N-benzoyl amino acids was developed. It is the first example of using accessible amino acid as an ammonia synthetic equivalent for the synthesis of primary aryl amides via CuCl2-promoted oxidative C-N bond cleavage reaction. The present protocol shows excellent functional group tolerance and provides an alternative method for the synthetic of primary aryl amides in 84-96% yields.

A terminal [Ni-OH] complex1, supported by triflamide-functionalized NHC ligands, catalyzes the hydrosilylative reduction of a range of primary amides into primary amines in good to excellent yields under base-free conditions with key functional group tolerance. Catalyst1is also effective for the reduction of a variety of tertiary and secondary amides. In contrast to literature reports, the reactivity of1towards amide reduction follows an inverse trend,i.e., 1° amide > 3° amide > 2° amide. The reaction does not follow a usual dehydration pathway.

Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.

The iron oxide was successfully supported on activated clay/carbon through an experimentally viable protocol for both hydrations of nitrile to amide and reduction of nitro compounds to amines. The as-prepared catalyst has been extensively characterised by XPS, SEM-EDX, TEM, TGA, BET surface area measurements and powdered X-ray diffraction (PXRD). A wide variety of substrates could be converted to the desired products with good to excellent yields by using water as a green solvent for both the reactions. The catalyst was recyclable and reusable up to six consecutive cycles without compromising its catalytic proficiency. Graphical abstract: Activated Mont K10 carbon-supported Fe2O3 is a very efficient and versatile heterogeneous catalytic system for hydration of nitriles to amides and reduction of nitro compounds to amines and can be reused up to six consecutive cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].
Product selectivity controlled by manganese oxide crystals in catalytic ammoxidation

The performances of heterogeneous catalysts can be effectively tuned by changing the catalyst structures. Here we report a controllable nitrile synthesis from alcohol ammoxidation, where the nitrile hydration side reaction could be efficiently prevented by changing the manganese oxide catalysts. α-Mn2O3 based catalysts are highly selective for nitrile synthesis, but MnO2-based catalysts including α, β, γ, and δ phases favour the amide production from tandem ammoxidation and hydration steps. Multiple structural, kinetic, and spectroscopic investigations reveal that water decomposition is hindered on α-Mn2O3, thus to switch off the nitrile hydration. In addition, the selectivity-control feature of manganese oxide catalysts is mainly related to their crystalline nature rather than oxide morphology, although the morphological issue is usually regarded as a crucial factor in many reactions.
