A Cp*Ir complex bearing a flexible bridging and functional 2,2′-methylenebibenzimidazole ligand was designed, synthesized, and found to be a general and efficient auto-tandem catalyst for the synthesis of N-methyl tertiary amines from imines via transfer hydrogenation/N-methylation with methanol as both hydrogen source and methylating reagent. In the presence of [Cp*Ir(2,2′-CH2BiBzImH2)Cl][Cl], a range of desirable products were obtained in high yields with nearly complete selectivities. The reaction is highly attractive due to the highly atom economy, and minimal consumption of chemicals and energy. Notably, this research exhibits new potential of metal–ligand bifunctional catalysts for the activation of methanol as C1 source for organic synthesis.

Manganese(III) porphyrin chloride complexes have been developed for the first time as catalysts for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines. The reaction has been applied to the direct synthesis of imines, tertiary amines and quinolines where only hydrogen gas and/or water are formed as the by-product(s). The mechanism is believed to involve the formation of a manganese(III) alkoxide complex which degrades into the aldehyde and a manganese(III) hydride species. The latter reacts with the alcohol to form hydrogen gas and thereby regenerates the alkoxide complex.

The application of nontoxic, earth-abundant transition metals in place of costly noble metals is a paramount goal in catalysis and is especially interesting if the air- and moisture-stable ligand scaffold is used. Herein, we report the synthesis of amines/imines directly from alcohol and amines via hydrogen autotransfer or acceptorless dehydrogenation catalyzed by well-defined phosphine-free Mn complexes. Both imines and amines can be obtained from the same set of alcohols and amines using the same catalyst, only by tuning the reaction conditions. The amount and nature of the base are found to be a highly important aspect for the observed selectivity. Both the primary and secondary amines have been employed as substrates for the N-alkylation reaction. As a highlight, we showed the chemoselective synthesis of resveratrol derivatives. Furthermore, the Mn-catalyzed dehydrogenative synthesis of structurally important 2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidines has also been demonstrated. Density functional theory calculations were also carried out to model the reaction path and to calculate the reaction profile.

The N-alkylation of ammonia (or its surrogates, such as urea, NH 4HCO3, and (NH4)2CO3) and amines with alcohols, including primary and secondary alcohols, was efficiently promoted under anaerobic conditions by the easily prepared and inexpensive supported ruthenium hydroxide catalyst Ru(OH)x/TiO2. Various types of symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted "tertiary" amines could be synthesized by the N-alkylation of ammonia (or its surrogates) and amines with "primary" alcohols. On the other hand, the N-alkylation of ammonia surrogates (i.e., urea and NH 2HCO3) with "secondary" alcohols selectively produced the corresponding symmetrically substituted "secondary" amines, even in the presence of excess amounts of alcohols, which is likely due to the steric hindrance of the secondary alcohols and/or secondary amines produced. Under aerobic conditions, nitriles could be synthesized directly from alcohols and ammonia surrogates . The observed catalysis for the present N-alkylation recations was intrinsically heterogeneous, and the retrieved catalyst could be reused without any significant loss of catalytic performance. The present catalytic transformation would proceed through consecutive N-alkylation reactions, in which alcohols act as alkylating reagents. On the basis of deuterium-labeling experiments, the formation of the ruthenium dihydride species is suggested during the N-alkylation reactions.

The present invention provides a method of producing oligomers of olefins, comprising reacting olefins with a catalyst under oligomerization conditions. The catalyst can be the product of the combination of a chromium compound and a pyridyl amine or a heteroaryl-amine compound. In particular embodiments, the catalyst compound can be used to trimerize or tetramerize ethylene to 1-hexene, 1-octene, or mixtures of 1-hexene and 1-octene.
