Synthesis of an Fe-Pd bimetallic catalyst for: N -alkylation of amines with alcohols via a hydrogen auto-transfer methodology

Hydrogen auto-transfer (HAT) or borrowing hydrogen (BH) methodology which combines dehydrogenation, intermediate reaction and hydrogenation, is recognized as an excellent strategy for one-pot synthesis from an economic and environmental point of view. Although much effort has been made on the development of catalysts for HAT reactions, harsh conditions, external base or large amounts of noble metals are still required in most reported catalysis systems, and thus the exploration of a highly efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst remains meaningful. In this work, a novel bimetallic catalyst, Fe10Pd1/NC500 derived from bimetallic MOF NH2-MIL-101(Fe10Pd1), has been prepared, and the catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance for the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via a hydrogen auto-transfer methodology. High yields of the desired products were achieved at 120 °C with an alcohol/amine molar ratio of 2?:?1 and required no external additive or solvent. A distinct enhancement in catalytic performance is observed when compared with monometallic catalysts, which can be ascribed to the "synergistic effects"inside the bimetallic alloys. The N-doped carbon support has been revealed to provide the necessary basicity which avoids the requirement of an external base. Moreover, a wide substrate range and remarkable reusability have been shown by Fe10Pd1/NC500, and this work highlights new possibilities for bimetallic catalysts applied in sustainable chemistry.

Tungsten-Catalyzed Direct N-Alkylation of Anilines with Alcohols

The implementation of non-noble metals mediated chemistry is a major goal in homogeneous catalysis. Borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer (BH/HA) reaction, as a straightforward and sustainable synthetic method, has attracted considerable attention in the development of non-noble metal catalysts. Herein, we report a tungsten-catalyzed N-alkylation reaction of anilines with primary alcohols via BH/HA. This phosphine-free W(phen)(CO)4 (phen=1,10-phenthroline) system was demonstrated as a practical and easily accessible in-situ catalysis for a broad range of amines and alcohols (up to 49 examples, including 16 previously undisclosed products). Notably, this tungsten system can tolerate numerous functional groups, especially the challenging substrates with sterically hindered substituents, or heteroatoms. Mechanistic insights based on experimental and computational studies are also provided.

Cooperative catalysis of molybdenum with organocatalysts for distribution of products between amines and imines

Multi-amino groups and nitrogen donors compound was discovered as an organocatalyst for N-alkylation of alcohols with amines in the presence of Mo(CO)6. The Mo(CO)6/organocatalyst binary system has shown to be a highly active catalyst for the N-alkylation reaction between alcohols and amines with excellent tolerance of variable starting materials bearing different functional groups. Of particular note, this method possessing a superiority selectivity in the synthesis of N-alkylated amines or imines, which can be controlled by the reaction temperature. The cooperative catalysis mechanism in combination of Mo(CO)6 with organocatalyst was elucidated by control experiments.

Effect of the ancillary ligand in N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(III) catalyzed N-alkylation of amines with alcohols

A series of air-stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Ir(III) complexes (Ir1-6), bearing various combinations of chlorine, pyridine and NHC ligands, were assayed for the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols. It was found that Ir3, with two monodentate 1,3-bis-methyl-imidazolylidene (IMe) ligands, emerged as the most active complex. A large variety of amines and primary alcohols were efficiently converted into mono-N-alkylated amines in 53–96% yields. As a special highlight, for the challenging MeOH, selective N-monomethylation could be achieved using KOH as a base under an air atmosphere. Moreover, this catalytic system was successfully applied to the gram-scale synthesis of some valuable compounds.

Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative Amination of Benzylic C(sp3)–H Bonds with Anilines

Iron-catalyzed oxidative amination of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with anilines bearing electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) or electron-donating groups (EDGs) is realized based on simple variations of N-substituents on imidazolium cations in novel ionic Fe(III) complexes. The structural modification of the imidazolium cation resulted in regulation of the redox potential and the catalytic performance of the iron metal center. Using DTBP as oxidant, [HItBu][FeBr4] showed the highest catalytic activity for anilines bearing EWGs, while [HIPym][FeBr4] was more efficient for EDG-substituted anilines. This work provides alternative access to benzylamines with the advantages of both a wide substrate scope and iron catalysis.

Sodium Butylated Hydroxytoluene: A Functional Group Tolerant, Eco-Friendly Base for Solvent-Free, Pd-Catalysed Amination

NaBHT (sodium 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenolate), a strong, but hindered and lipophilic base, has been effectively paired with similarly lipophilic, high-reactivity Pd-NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) catalysts to produce an ideal combination for performing

Alkylation synthesis method of in-situ catalytic alcohol (by machine translation)

The method comprises VIB metal complexes, an auxiliary ligand and a base as a catalytic reaction system, wherein the alcohol serves as an alkylating agent, and the nucleophilic substrate is subjected to in-situ catalytic alkylation reaction in a solvent and an inert gas atmosphere. The catalytic system has a wide application range on a substrate, can catalyze the synthesis of C-N and C-C bond compounds of different structures under mild conditions, and can green synthesize a series of valuable N - alkylation and C - alkylation compounds.

Alcohol Amination Catalyzed by Copper Powder as a Self-Supported Catalyst

Catalytic alcohol amination is a sustainable reaction for N-alkyl amine synthesis. Homogeneous and supported copper catalysts have long been studied for this reaction and have given some impressive results. In this study, copper powder is found to behave as an active catalyst for alcohol amination, giving better catalytic performance than metal-oxide-supported nanocopper catalysts. Catalyst characterization suggests that the copper powder can be considered as a self-supported nanocopper catalyst (i.e., nanocopper supported on copper particles). These results might promote the study of unsupported transition metal powders in sustainable catalytic reactions.

Unsymmetrical triazolyl-naphthyridinyl-pyridine bridged highly active copper complexes supported on reduced graphene oxide and their application in water

A novel unsymmetrical triazolyl-naphthyridinyl-pyridine ligand was designed and synthesized, and employed in the synthesis of a heterogeneous copper complex on reduced graphene oxide. The resulting copper composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). This supported copper catalyst containing unsymmetrical triazolyl-naphthyridinyl-pyridine (only 0.1 mol%) showed excellent catalytic activity in water with good recyclability. Various functionalized quinoline derivatives were successfully synthesized in high yields through the green strategy in water. Other heterocyclic compounds, such as pyridine, 2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline, 1,8-naphthyridine, 5,6-dihydronaphtho[1,2-b][1,8]naphthyridine and 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives, were achieved in water with more than 80% yields. Mechanism studies revealed that this transformation occurs via dehydrogenation, condensation, and transfer hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes which was supported by a deuterium labeling experiment.

The reaction proceeds under MW conditions and selectively generates monoalkylated amines. This protocol features a broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance with moderate to high yields.
