Reusable Co-nanoparticles for general and selectiveN-alkylation of amines and ammonia with alcohols

A general cobalt-catalyzedN-alkylation of amines with alcohols by borrowing hydrogen methodology to prepare different kinds of amines is reported. The optimal catalyst for this transformation is prepared by pyrolysis of a specific templated material, which is generatedin situby mixing cobalt salts, nitrogen ligands and colloidal silica, and subsequent removal of silica. Applying this novel Co-nanoparticle-based material, >100 primary, secondary, and tertiary amines includingN-methylamines and selected drug molecules were conveniently prepared starting from inexpensive and easily accessible alcohols and amines or ammonia.

Reductive Alkylation of Quinolines to N-Alkyl Tetrahydroquinolines Catalyzed by Arylboronic Acid

A boronic acid catalyzed one-pot tandem reduction of quinolines to tetrahydroquinolines followed by reductive alkylation by the aldehyde has been demonstrated. This step-economcial synthesis of N-alkyl tetrahydroquinolines has been achieved directly from readily available quinolines, aldehydes, and Hantzsch ester under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic study demonstrates the unique behavior of organoboron catalysts as both Lewis acids and hydrogen-bond donors.

Selective Synthesis of Secondary Amines from Nitriles by a User-Friendly Cobalt Catalyst

Selective hydrogenation/reductive amination of nitriles to secondary amines catalyzed by an inexpensive and user-friendly cobalt complex, (Xantphos)CoCl2, is reported. The use of (Xantphos)CoCl2 and ammonia borane (NH3?BH3) combination affords the selective reduction of nitriles to symmetrical secondary amines, whereas the employment of (Xantphos)CoCl2 and dimethylamine borane (Me2NH?BH3) along with external amines produce unsymmetrical secondary amines and tertiary amines. The general applicability of this methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of 43 symmetrical and unsymmetrical secondary and tertiary amines bearing diverse functionalities. (Figure presented.).

Manganese(III) Porphyrin-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation of Alcohols to form Imines, Tertiary Amines and Quinolines

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.

Radical-mediated direct C-H amination of arenes with secondary amines

Aryl dialkyl amines, valuable subunits of a wide range of effect chemicals, are accessed by intramolecular amination of aromatic C-H bonds employing UV photolysis of N-chloroamines. The reactions show good functional group tolerance and allow access to a range of fused and bridged polycyclic structures. The homogeneous reaction conditions allow for the one-pot conversion of secondary amines to their arylated derivatives. Experimental and theoretical evidence supports the involvement of electrophilic aminium radicals which react via direct ortho-attack on the arene.

Nucleophilic Amination of Methoxy Arenes Promoted by a Sodium Hydride/Iodide Composite

A method for the nucleophilic amination of methoxy arenes was established by using sodium hydride (NaH) in the presence of lithium iodide (LiI). This method offers an efficient route to benzannulated nitrogen heterocycles. Mechanistic studies showed that the reaction proceeds through an unusual concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

Practical synthetic strategies towards lipophilic 6-iodotetrahydroquinolines and -dihydroquinolines

The synthesis of novel tetrahydroquinolines (THQ) and dihydroquinolines (DHQ) are reported using three practical, scalable synthetic approaches to access highly lipophilic analogues bearing a 6-iodo substituent, each with a different means of cyclisation. A versatile and stable quinolin-2-one intermediate was identified, which could be reduced to the corresponding THQ with borane reagents, or to the DHQ with diisobutylaluminium hydride via a novel elimination that is more favourable at higher temperatures. Coupling these strongly electron-donating scaffolds to electron-accepting moieties caused the resulting structures to exhibit strong fluorescence.

Copper-catalyzed radical reactions of 2-azido-N-arylacrylamides with 1-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-benziodoxole and 1-azidyl-1,2-benziodoxole

The reactions of 2-azido-N-arylacrylamides with trifluoromethyl radicals and azidyl radicals were investigated by using Togni's reagent and Zhdankin's reagent as the source of these radicals. Under the catalysis of CuI, Togni's reagent was firstly converted into the trifluoromethyl radical, which then reacted with 2-azido-N-arylacrylamides to afford the corresponding α-(arylaminocarbonyl)iminyl radicals. The cyclization of the iminyl radicals delivered quinoxalin-2(1H)-one products in moderate yields. A similar reaction took place between 2-azido-N-arylacrylamides and the azidyl radical. In the latter cases, the reaction produced 3-azidomethyl and 3-cyano-subsituted quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones. This study not only helps elucidate the factors influencing the cyclization of α-(arylaminocarbonyl)iminyl radicals, but also provides a new approach towards quinoxalin-2-ones.

Selective catalytic Hofmann: N -alkylation of poor nucleophilic amines and amides with catalytic amounts of alkyl halides

Using only catalytic amounts of alkyl halides in the reactions of poor nucleophilic amines/amides and alcohols led to a selective Hofmann N-alkylation reaction catalytic in alkyl halides, providing a practical and efficient method for the practical synthesis of mono- or di-alkylated amines/amides in high selectivities. This new method avoids the use of large amounts of bases, alkyl halides, and solvents, and generates water as the only byproduct. Preliminary mechanistic studies showed that alkyl halides are key intermediates/catalysts regeneratable in the reaction cycle.
