Zirconium-based frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are active imine hydrogenation catalysts under mild conditions. Complexes of the type [CpR2ZrOMes][B(C6F5)4] utilize the imine substrate itself as the Lewis base component of the FLP. Catalyst performance is a function of ligand structure; in general more bulky, more electron rich cyclopentadienyl derivatives give the best results. However, Cp? derivatives are not catalytically active, being stable after initial heterolytic cleavage of H2; this allows experimental verification of the competence of the zirconocene-imine pair in FLP-type heterolytic H2 cleavage. Enamines and protected nitriles are also hydrogenated if an additional internal phosphine base is used.

An efficient method for the rhodium on carbon matrix catalyzed preparation of secondary and tertiary amines, cyanoesters, and nitriles through the reductive amination/alkylation of carbonyl compounds was developed, including a convenient procedure for the tandem formal reductive addition of acetonitrile to aldehydes. The catalyst could be reused, and at least three consecutive reaction cycles were performed with comparable efficiency. The method was shown to be compatible with functional groups prone to reduction by hydrogen and complex hydrides.

A kinetic investigation of the radical cyclization of N-tert-butyl-o- bromobenzylmethacryl amides to give 2-benzazepines via 7-endo selective cyclization was undertaken. The aryl radical generated from the amide precursor by treatment with Bu3SnH gave the three compounds, which are a 7-endo cyclized adduct, a 6-exocyclized adduct, and a reduced product. The cyclization reactions under various Bu3SnH concentrations were traced by GC analysis. The 7-endo/6-exo selectivity was constant irrespective of variation in Bu3SnH concentration. These results revealed that regioselectivity is controlled in a kinetic manner and that there is no possibility of a neophyl rearrangement. The use of Bu3SnD revealed that 1,7-hydrogen transfer, in which an aryl radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from the methallylic methyl group, occurs during the reaction. Hydrogen abstraction from toluene, the reaction solvent, was also observed. The 1,7-transfer rate depended on the Bu3SnX (X = H or D), and the reaction kinetics was examined. The kH/kD value for the hydrogen abstraction of aryl radical from Bu3SnX (X = H or D) was estimated using 4-bromoanisol. The utilization of these values revealed the overall reaction kinetics and relative rates for the cyclization and reduction by Bu3SnX (X = H or D). Kinetic parameters for hydrogen abstraction from toluene by aryl radicals were also estimated.
