Mechanochemical Nucleophilic Substitution of Alcohols via Isouronium Intermediates**

An expansion of the solvent-free synthetic toolbox is essential for advances in the sustainable chemical industry. Mechanochemical reactions offer a superior safety profile and reduced amount of waste compared to conventional solvent-based synthesis. Here

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

B(C6F5)3-catalyzed tandem protonation/deuteration and reduction of: In situ -formed enamines

A highly efficient B(C6F5)3-catalyzed tandem protonation/deuteration and reduction of in situ-formed enamines in the presence of water and pinacolborane was developed. Regioselective β-deuteration of tertiary amines was achieved with high chemo- and regioselectivity. D2O was used as a readily available and cheap source of deuterium. Mechanistic studies indicated that B(C6F5)3 could activate water to promote the protonation and reduction of enamines. This journal is

One-Pot Controlled Reduction of Conjugated Amides by Sequential Double Hydrosilylation Catalyzed by an Iridium(III) Metallacycle

A single and accessible cationic iridiumIII metallacycle effectively catalyzes the one-pot sequential double hydrosilylation of challenging α,β-unsaturated secondary and tertiary amides to afford, in a controlled and straightforward way, the co

Nickel-Catalyzed Selective Reduction of Carboxylic Acids to Aldehydes

The direct reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis. The combination of an air-stable Ni precatalyst, dimethyl dicarbonate as an activator, and silane reductant effects this reduction for a wide variety of substrates, including pharmaceutically relevant structures, in good yields and with no overreduction to alcohols. Moreover, this methodology is scalable, allows access to deuterated aldehydes, and is also compatible with one-pot utilization of the aldehyde products.

Room-Temperature Chemoselective Reductive Alkylation of Amines Catalyzed by a Well-Defined Iron(II) Complex Using Hydrogen

A transition-metal frustrated Lewis pair approach has been envisaged to enhance the catalytic activity of tricarbonyl phosphine-free iron complexes in reduction of amines. A new cyclopentadienyl iron(II) tricarbonyl complex has been isolated, fully characterized, and applied in hydrogenation. This phosphine-free iron complex is the first Earth-abundant metal complex that is able to catalyze chemoselective reductive alkylation of various functionalized amines with functionalized aldehydes. Such selectivity and functionality tolerance (alkenes, esters, ketones, acetals, unprotected hydroxyl groups, and phosphines) have been demonstrated also for the first time at room temperature with an Earth-abundant metal complex. This alkylation reaction was also performed without any preliminary condensation and generated only water as a byproduct. The resulting amines provided rapid access to potential building blocks, metal ligands, or drugs. Density functional theory calculations highlighted first that the formation of the 16 electron species, via the activation of the tricarbonyl complex Fe3, was facilitated and, second, that the hydrogen cleavage did not follow the same pathway as bond breaking, usually described with the known cyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complexes (Fe1 and Fe4). These calculations highlighted that the new complex Fe3 does not behave as a bifunctional catalyst, in contrast to its former congeners.

Method used for reduction of tertiary amide into alcohols and/or amines

The invention discloses a method used for reduction of tertiary amide into alcohols and/or amines. The method comprises following steps: tertiary amide, an alkali metal reagent, and a proton donor agent are added into an organic solvent for a following reaction selectively: when the proton donor agent is a raw material alcohol and/or inorganic salt aqueous solution, the reaction product is an alcohol compound and/or tertiary amine compound. The method is capable of realizing selective reduction of tertiary amide into alcohols and tertiary amine compounds, the yield is high, the suitable rangeis wide, operation is safe and simple, the adopted raw materials are cheap and easily available; no precious metal catalyst, toxic silanes, and flammable and combustible metal hydrides are adopted; notoxic by product is generated; reaction is more friendly to the environment; problems in the prior art that amide compound reducing method operation is complex, conditions are strict, and control ofproducts is difficult are solved.

Reduction and Reductive Deuteration of Tertiary Amides Mediated by Sodium Dispersions with Distinct Proton Donor-Dependent Chemoselectivity

A practical and scalable single electron transfer reduction mediated by sodium dispersions has been developed for the reduction and reductive deuteration of tertiary amides. The chemoselectivity of this method highly depends on the nature of the proton donor. The challenging reduction via C-N bond cleavage has been achieved using Na/EtOH, affording alcohol products, while the use of Na/NaOH/H2O leads to the formation of amines via selective C-O scission. Sodium dispersions with high specific surface areas are crucial to obtain high yields and good chemoselectivity. This new method tolerates a range of tertiary amides. Moreover, the corresponding reductive deuterations mediated by Na/EtOD-d1 and Na/NaOH/D2O afford useful α,α-dideuterio alcohols and α,α-dideuterio amines with an excellent deuterium content.

Chemoselective amide reductions by heteroleptic fluoroaryl boron Lewis acids

The heteroleptic borane catalyst (C6F5)2B(CH2CH2CH2)BPin is found to hydrosilylatively reduce amides under mild conditions. Simple tertiary amides can be reduced using Me2EtSiH, whereas tertiary benzamides required a more reactive secondary silane, Et2SiH2, for efficient reduction. The catalytic system described exhibits exceptional chemoselectivity in the reduction of oligoamides and tolerates functionalities which are prone to reduction under similar conditions.
