PH-Mediated Selective Synthesis of N-Allylic Alkylation or N-Alkylation Amines with Allylic Alcohols via an Iridium Catalyst in Water

Amination of allylic alcohols is an effective approach in the facile synthesis of N-allylic alkylation or N-alkylation amines. Recently, a series of catalysts were devised to push forward this transformation. However, current synthetic methods are typical

Stereoselective Construction of γ-Lactams via Copper-Catalyzed Borylacylation

A versatile and highly stereoselective borylative cyclization to generate polyfunctionalized γ-lactams has been developed. The stereoselective synthesis of these key ring systems is crucial due to their ubiquity in natural products. We report the diastero- and enantioselective construction of di- and trisubstituted γ-lactam cores, with examples containing an enantioenriched quaternary carbon.

Homogeneous Hydrogenation with a Cobalt/Tetraphosphine Catalyst: A Superior Hydride Donor for Polar Double Bonds and N-Heteroarenes

The development of catalysts based on earth abundant metals in place of noble metals is becoming a central topic of catalysis. We herein report a cobalt/tetraphosphine complex-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of polar unsaturated compounds using an air- and moisture-stable and scalable precatalyst. By activation with potassium hydroxide, this cobalt system shows both high efficiency (up to 24 000 TON and 12 000 h-1 TOF) and excellent chemoselectivities with various aldehydes, ketones, imines, and even N-heteroarenes. The preference for 1,2-reduction over 1,4-reduction makes this method an efficient way to prepare allylic alcohols and amines. Meanwhile, efficient hydrogenation of the challenging N-heteroarenes is also furnished with excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies and control experiments demonstrated that a CoIH complex functions as a strong hydride donor in the catalytic cycle. Each cobalt intermediate on the catalytic cycle was characterized, and a plausible outer-sphere mechanism was proposed. Noteworthy, external inorganic base plays multiple roles in this reaction and functions in almost every step of the catalytic cycle.

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative arylacetoxylation of alkenes: Synthesis of indole and indoline derivatives

A method for the oxidative arylacetoxylation of alkenes has been developed to synthesize indole and indoline derivatives from readily accessible substrates. The cinnamyl tethered anilines with picolinamide as a directing group provided 3-substituted indoles via intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, and the 2-methyl substituted cinnamyl anilines furnished indoline derivatives with 3-position quaternary stereocenters in good to excellent yields via sequential intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, hydrolysis and oxidation steps.

The N-H and C-H bond activation reactions at ambient conditions of seven different secondary allyl amines (Aa-g) with bis(n5:n1-pentafulvene)titanium complexes (1) have been investigated. Bis(n5:n1-adamantyliden

A Highly Efficient Base-Metal Catalyst: Chemoselective Reduction of Imines to Amines Using An Abnormal-NHC-Fe(0) Complex

A base-metal, Fe(0)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of imines to obtain amines is reported here which outperforms its noble-metal congeners with the highest TON of 17000. The catalyst, (aNHC)Fe(CO)4, works under very mild conditions, with extremely low catalyst loading (down to 0.005 mol %), and exhibits excellent chemoselectivity. The facile nature of the imine reduction under mild conditions has been further demonstrated by reducing imines towards expensive commercial amines and biologically important N-alkylated sugars, which are difficult to achieve otherwise. A mechanistic pathway and the source of chemoselectivity for imine hydrosilylation have been proposed on the basis of the well-defined catalyst and isolable intermediates along the catalytic cycle.

Exclusive chemoselective reduction of imines in the coexistence of aldehydes using AuNPore catalyst

Aldimines (R1HC=NR2) were reduced in the coexistence of aldehydes (R1CHO) with 100% chemoselectivity by the use of AuNPore giving corresponding amines (R1H2C-NHR2) in high chemical yields.

Palladium catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of 1-substituted allenes: An atom-economical method for the synthesis of N-allylamines

The palladium complex [(3IPtBu)Pd(allyl)]OTf previously displayed excellent catalytic activity for the hydroamination of 1,1-dimethylallene with anilines, selectively producing the branched substituted allylamine product (kinetic product) in high conversion. In the current report, the scope of this hydroamination reaction has been expanded to include both alkyl amines and anilines in combination with an array of seven alkyl and aryl allenes. For the majority of amines investigated, the hydroamination of 1,1-dimethylallene, cyclohexylallene, benzylallene, and select aryl allenes with alkyl amines gave the branched substituted allylamine product in nearly quantitative conversion at ambient temperature in less than 1 hour. In contrast, anilines displayed a more limited reaction scope and yielded the linear hydroamination product (thermodynamic product) with all allenes other than 1,1-dimethylallene. Both branched and linear products could be formed selectively in the hydroamination of p-fluorophenylallene with alkyl amines through careful control of [(3IPtBu)Pd(allyl)]OTf catalyst loading and reaction duration. Overall, the branched allylamines produced are useful synthetic intermediates due to their available unsaturated vinyl group, while the linear allylamine products are chemically similar to a class of known pharmaceuticals.

Reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with primary amines by using lithium amidoborane as reducing reagent

A variety of secondary amines were obtained in high isolated yields in the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones by using lithium amidoborane as reducing agent. Compared to ammonia borane, lithium amidoborane has higher reducibility, and thus, exhibits faster reaction rate.
