Immobilized Zn(OAc)2on bipyridine-based periodic mesoporous organosilica for N -formylation of amines with CO2and hydrosilanes

Zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2) was successfully immobilized on a bipyridine-based periodic mesoporous organosilica (BPy-PMO-TMS), as confirmed by solid-state NMR and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopies, X-ray diffractometry, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm analyses. The immobilized Zn complex, Zn(OAc)2(BPy-PMO-TMS), exhibited good catalytic activity during the N-formylations of amines and amides with CO2 and PhSiH3 to produce the corresponding formamides. Zn(OAc)2(BPy-PMO-TMS) with a lower Zn loading was found to exhibit higher catalytic activity.

Visible-light induced one-pot hydrogenation and amidation of nitroaromatics with carboxylic acids over 2D MXene-derived Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2

Pt nanoparticles supported on N doped titanium dioxide/titanium carbide (MXene) heterojunctions were employed as photocatalysts for the tandem reactions between aromatic nitro compounds and carboxylic acids to produce amide products. The 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 heterojunction was prepared by in situ grew TiO2 on Ti3C2 nanosheets and then N doped TiO2 with melamine, Pt nanoparticles with 3.3 nm mean diameter well dispersed on N-TiO2/Ti3C2. 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 had excellent amidation activity and chemoselectivity under visible-light irradiation. The elevated catalytic performance of 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 was owing to the improvement in photogenerated electron and hole separation efficiency through charge short-range directional transmission caused by the intimate contact between the TiO2 and the conductive Ti3C2. This direct hydrogenation along with amidation between nitroaromatics and carboxylic acids own actual merits in the amides produce with no harmful byproducts. In situ DRIFTS spectra verified that the amidation activation with visible light irradiation at 25 °C was much faster than heating.

Selective: N-formylation/N-methylation of amines and N-formylation of amides and carbamates with carbon dioxide and hydrosilanes: Promotion of the basic counter anions of the zinc catalyst

A catalyst composed of commercially available Zn(OAc)2 and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) was effective in the N-formylation/N-methylation of amines using CO2 as the C1 source in the presence of hydrosilanes. An equimolar reaction of N-methylaniline with PhSiH3 under a CO2 atmosphere yielded the N-formylation product in 92% yield at 25 °C. Scale-up of the reaction using 10 mmol substrate was also successful in affording the desired product in 83% yield (1.1 g). This catalyst exhibits a high thermal stability and a turnover number (TON) of 385000 at 150 °C. In addition, the reaction of N-methylaniline in the presence of excess Ph2SiH2 produced N,N-dimethylaniline. Furthermore, our catalytic protocol was developed for the N-formylation of amides and carbamates, which have smaller pKa values and lower reactivities than the corresponding amines. The present Zn(OAc)2/phen catalyst was found to show versatility in the conversion of CO2 and amines into several functionalized organic chemicals under mild conditions. We propose that the basic counter anion (i.e., the acetate) of the catalyst activates both the Si-H and N-H bonds.

Mn-Catalyzed Selective Double and Mono-N-Formylation and N-Methylation of Amines by using CO2

Functionalization of amines by using CO2 is of fundamental importance considering the abundance of amines and CO2. In this context, the catalytic formylation and methylation of amines represent convenient and successful protocols for selective CO2 utilization as a C1 building block. This study represents the first example of selective catalytic double N-formylation of aryl amines by using a dinuclear Mn complex in the presence of phenylsilane. This robust system also allows for selective formylation and methylation of amines under a range of conditions.

Copper(ii)-catalyzed c-n coupling of aryl halides and n-nucleophiles promoted by quebrachitol or diethylene glycol

Herein, we report the natural ligand quebrachitol (QCT) as a promoter for a Cu(II) catalyst, which is highly effective for N-Arylation of various amines and related aryl halides. A series of diarylamine derivatives were obtained in high yields by using diethylene glycol (DEG) as both ligand and solvent. The C-N coupling reactions proceed under mild conditions and exhibit good functional group tolerance.

A novel protocol is reported for the N-formylation of amines with formic acid by using the nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 as a heterogeneous catalyst in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol.

Porous Organic Polymers with Built-in N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: Selective and Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Reductive N-Formylation of Amines with CO2

A series of porous organic polymers (POPs) based on N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) building blocks has been prepared through an octacarbonyldicobalt complex [Co2(CO)8]-catalyzed trimerization of terminal alkyne groups. By changing the monomer ratio in the copolymerization, cross-linked POPs with tunable surface areas of 485–731 m2 g?1 and pore volumes of 0.31–0.51 cm3 g?1 were easily prepared. Compared with the analogues homogeneous NHC (SIPr) catalysts, the POPs exhibited an enhanced catalytic activity and high selectivity in the reductive functionalization of CO2 with amines. The extraordinary performance of the sample could be attributed to the combination of the gas enrichment (or storage) effect, enhanced in-pore concentrations of other substrates, and advantageous micropore structures of the porous polymers. Meanwhile, these catalysts can easily be separated and recycled from the reaction systems with only a slight loss of activity. This excellent catalytic performance and facile recycling of heterogeneous catalysts make them very attractive. These NHC-containing POPs may provide a new platform for catalytic transformations of CO2.

Cooperative Catalytic Activation of Si?H Bonds: CO2-Based Synthesis of Formamides from Amines and Hydrosilanes under Mild Conditions

A simple cooperative catalytic system was successfully developed for the solvent-free N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilanes under ambient conditions, which was composed of a Zn(salen) catalyst and quaternary ammonium salt. These commercially available binary components activated the Si?H bonds effectively, owing to the intermolecular synergistic effect between Lewis base and transition metal center (LB–TM), and subsequently facilitated the insertion of CO2 to form the active silyl formats, thereby leading to excellent catalytic performance at a low catalyst loading. Furthermore, the bifunctional Zn(salen) complexes, with two imidazolium-based ionic-liquid (IL) units at the 3,3′-position of salen ligand, acted as intramolecularly cooperative catalysts, and the solvent-regulated separation resulted in facile catalyst recycling and reuse.

Transformation of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals over bifunctional metallosalen catalysts bearing quaternary phosphonium salts

The chemical transformation of CO2 under mild conditions remains a great challenge because of its exceptional kinetic and thermodynamic stability. Two important reactions in the transformation of CO2 are the N-formylation reaction of amines using hydrosilanes and CO2, and the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides. Here, we report the high efficiency of bifunctional metallosalen complexes bearing quaternary phosphonium salts in catalyzing both of these reactions under solvent-free, mild conditions without the need for co-catalysts. The catalysts' bifunctionality is attributed to an intramolecular cooperative process between the metal center and the halogen anion. Depending on the reaction, this activates CO2 by permitting either the synergistic activation of Si–H bond via metal–hydrogen coordinative bond (M–H) or the dual activation of epoxide via metal–oxygen coordinative bond (M–O). The one-component catalysts are also shown to be easily recovered and reused five times without significant loss of activity or selectivity. The current results are combined with previous work in the area to propose the relevant reaction mechanisms.
