The reactions of the ozonides with secondary amines: An efficient and novel way to prepare tertiary amine from mono- and 1,1-di-substituted alkenes via corresponding ozonides

The ozonolysis of mono- and 1,1-di-substituted olefins followed by treatment with secondary amines in the presence of 4A, molecular sieves to give the corresponding tertiary amine in high yields. This transformation involved four sequential reactions in the same flask.

BF3·Et2O as a metal-free catalyst for direct reductive amination of aldehydes with amines using formic acid as a reductant

A versatile metal- and base-free direct reductive amination of aldehydes with amines using formic acid as a reductant under the catalysis of inexpensive BF3·Et2O has been developed. A wide range of primary and secondary amines and diversely substituted aldehydes are compatible with this transformation, allowing facile access to various secondary and tertiary amines in high yields with wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, the method is convenient for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds and preparation of commercialized drug molecules and biologically relevant N-heterocycles. The procedure has the advantages of simple operation and workup and easy scale-up, and does not require dry conditions, an inert atmosphere or a water scavenger. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of imine activation by BF3and hydride transfer from formic acid.

Iron-catalyzed chemoselective hydride transfer reactions

A Diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex has been applied in chemoselective hydrogen transfer reductions. This bifunctional iron complex demonstrated a broad applicability in mild conditions in various reactions, such as reduction of aldehydes over ketones, reductive alkylation of various functionalized amines with functionalized aldehydes and reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones into the corresponding saturated ketones. A broad range of functionalized substrates has been isolated in excellent yields with this practical procedure.

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.

The ruthenium-catalyzed reduction and reductive N-alkylation of secondary amides with hydrosilanes: Practical synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines by judicious choice of hydrosilanes

(Chemical Equation Presented) A triruthenium cluster, (μ3, η2,η3,η5-acenaphthylene)Ru 3(CO)7 (1) catalyzes the reaction of secondary amides with hydrosilanes, yielding a mixture of secondary amines, tertiary amines, and silyl enamines. Production of secondary amines with complete selectivity is achieved by the use of higher concentration of the catalyst (3 mol %) and the use of bifunctional hydrosilanes such as 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane. Acidic workup of the reaction mixture affords the corresponding ammonium salts, which can be treated with a base, providing a facile method for isolation of secondary amines with high purity. In contrast, tertiary amines are formed with high selectivity by using lower concentration of the catalyst (1 mol %) and polymeric hydrosiloxanes (PMHS) as reducing agent. Reduction with PMHS encapsulates the ruthenium catalyst and organic byproducts to the insoluble silicone resin. The two reaction manifolds are applicable to various secondary amides and are practical in that the procedures provide the desired secondary or tertiary amine as a single product. The product contaminated with only minimal amounts of ruthenium and silicon residues. On the basis of the products and observed side products as well as NMR studies a mechanistic scenario for the reaction is also described.

The mechanistic study and synthetic applications of the base treatment in the ozonolytic reactions

The E1cb mechanism is the overwhelming process in the reaction of bases and ozonides. As a quenching agent in the ozonolysis of a variety of alkenes, the reactions involving triethylamine often gave better yields and proceeded faster than those involving methyl sulfide. On the other hand, in the presence of 4 A molecular sieves, the secondary amines reacted with mono- and 1,1-di-substituted ozonides to afford the reductive amination products in high yields. The formation of ammonium formate in the reaction mixture also supported the E1cb mechanism in the reaction of ozonide and amine.

Preparation of α-Substituted Acroleins via the Reaction of Aldehyde with Dihalomethane and Diethylamine

Treatment of ozonides or aldehydes with a mixture of dihalomethane and diethylamine in dichloromethane affords α-substituted acroleins in good yields, the β-carbon of the acrolein being derived from dihalomethane; the relative rates and yields are in the following order: CH2I2 > CH2Br2 > CH2Cl2.
