Reactions of [Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(NCMe)]OTf (1) with protic amines, alcohols, and water produce amidine complexes [Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(NH=C(NR2)Me)]OTf (2) (R2 = (Me)2 (a), (Me)(H) (b), (i-Pr)(H) (c), (-CH2(CH2)3CH2-) (d)), imino-ether complexes [Cp*Ir-(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(NH=C(OR′)Me)]OTf (4) (R′ = Me (a), Et (b), i-Pr (c)), and amido complex Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(NHC(=O)Me) (5-K), respectively. The keto form amido complex 5-K undergoes tautomerization to give the enol form complex Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(N= C(OH)Me) (5-E) in polar solvents. Tertiary amines (NMe3, NEt3) react with 1 in chlorinated solvents (XCl) to give the chloro complex Cp*IrCl(η3-CH2CHCHPh) (3) and quaternary ammonium salts [R3NX]OTf(R = Me, Et and X = CH2Cl, CH3, CHCl2, CCl3, PhCH2). Crystal structures of 2a, 4a, 5-K, and [Cp*Ir(NH=C(OH)Me)(OH2)(PPh3)]OTf2 (6) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which lead us to suggest hybrid structures, Ir--NH-C(=N+Me2)Me (2a′) for 2a and Ir--NH-C(=O+Me)Me (4a′) for 4a to some extent. Complexes 2 and 4 react with PPh3 to give an iridium(III) complex [Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(PPh3)]OTf (7) and the free amidines NH=C(NR2)Me (8) and imino-ethers NH=C(OR′)Me (9), respectively. Nitrile complexes 1 and [Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(NCCH= CHMe)]OTf(10) catalyze the hydration of the nitriles in the presence of Na2CO3 to produce amides, and the benzonitrile complex [Cp*Ir(η3-CH2CHCHPh)(NCPh)]OTf(11) catalyzes the methanolysis of benzonitrile in the presence of Na2CO3 to produce NH=C(OMe)Ph. Plausible mechanisms for these catalytic reactions are suggested with the amido and imino-ether complexes such as 4 and 5 being involved.

Cu(I)Cl promotes the condensation of acetonitrile 1a and benzonitrile 1b with primary and secondary amines 2a-g into amidines 3a-j under mild conditions, in high to quantitative yields. Stoichiometric formation of Cu(I)-amidines complexes allows to control the degree of substitution of resulting amidines.

Catalytic amounts of lanthanide(III) triflates promote reactions between amines and nitriles leading to a variety of products.The Ln3+ ions activate weakly coordinating nitriles at large amine: Ln3+ mole ratios, even in the presence of amines that form thermodynamically stable complexes with Ln3+ ions.The reactions involving primary monoamines and diamines appear to be general and provide a viable synthetic route to N,N'-disubstituted amidines (2) and cyclic amidines (4), respectively.Symmetrically substituted triazines (8 or 9) are observed as byproducts in some of these systems when the reactions are carried out by using excess nitrile.Secondary alicyclic amines or dimethylamine reacts with acetonitrile to yield pyrimidines (6) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-s-triazine (8).Two routes to triazine have been proposed, one involving the reaction of ammonia with the nitrile and the second involving the reaction of an amidine (1 or 5) with the nitrile.The ability of Ln3+ ions to activate nitriles under conditions that oppose nitrile coordination is attributed to the lability of Ln3+ complexes derived from N-donors.
