Reusable Co-nanoparticles for general and selectiveN-alkylation of amines and ammonia with alcohols

A general cobalt-catalyzedN-alkylation of amines with alcohols by borrowing hydrogen methodology to prepare different kinds of amines is reported. The optimal catalyst for this transformation is prepared by pyrolysis of a specific templated material, which is generatedin situby mixing cobalt salts, nitrogen ligands and colloidal silica, and subsequent removal of silica. Applying this novel Co-nanoparticle-based material, >100 primary, secondary, and tertiary amines includingN-methylamines and selected drug molecules were conveniently prepared starting from inexpensive and easily accessible alcohols and amines or ammonia.

Cobalt encapsulated in N?doped graphene sheet for one-pot reductive amination to synthesize secondary amines

To develop an efficient base-metal reductive amination catalyst for synthesis of secondary amines is still a major challenge. In this study, an efficient N-doped graphene sheet-coated cobalt catalyst (Co@CN-800) was developed through a simple pyrolysis process, which could gave 99.5 % yield of N-benzylaniline by one-pot reductive amination of nitrobenzene with benzaldehyde during at least 5 cycles. Catalyst characterization and control experiments confirmed that the robust catalytic performance of the catalyst is probably due to the synergy effect of in situ generated Co-Nx encapsulated in N?doped graphene layer and appropriate meso-pore structure. Additionally, The substrate adaptability of the catalyst was proved since a variety of corresponding secondary amines were smoothly obtained under relatively mild conditions, which makes the secondary amine synthesis strategy based on Co@CN-800 shows excellent application prospect.

Atomically dispersed Rh on hydroxyapatite as an effective catalyst for tandem hydroaminomethylation of olefins

Tandem hydroaminomethylation is an efficient and green route for one-pot synthesis of amines directly from olefins. Herein, heterogeneous hydroxyapatite (HAP) supported single-atom Rh catalyst was prepared and used for tandem hydroaminomethylation of olefins. Characterization techniques confirmed the atomic dispersion of Rh species on HAP. Up to 99% conversion of 1-hexene with high selectivity to the desired amines (93.2%) was obtained over 0.5Rh1/HAP catalyst. Mechanism study demonstrated that the first hydroformylation step during the tandem catalytic process was rate-determining. Compared with the Rh nanoparticles on other oxide supports (Mg3Al, MgO and Al2O3), the atomically dispersed Rh sites on HAP ensured the high hydroformylation activity, thereby guaranteed the outstanding catalytic performance for the total tandem process. Furthermore, various corresponding amines can be obtained with satisfactory yields over 0.5Rh1/HAP catalyst from a wide scope of olefins or amines substrates.

A highly efficient Co-based catalyst fabricated by coordination-assisted impregnation strategy towards tandem catalytic functionalization of nitroarenes with various alcohols

A well-defined hexamethylenetetramine (abbreviated as HMTA) based two-dimensional (2D) MOFs metalloligand (termed Zn-HMTA), with free uncoordinated tertiary amine groups, has been synthesized via solution diffusion method for the first time. The crystal structure of 2D Zn-HMTA metalloligand was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The SCXRD and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses have revealed that the 2D Zn-HMTA metalloligand is rich in- free tertiary amine groups, which are of strong coordination ability to transition metal ions (e.g. Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Cu2+). As a result, a 2D bimetallic Co@Zn-HMTA MOFs was synthesized via coordination-assisted impregnation (CAI) strategy attributed to the unique feature of strong coordinated ability of free tertiary amine groups. Furthermore, a series of self-supported Co-ZnO-CN nanocatalysts were afforded upon the as-synthesized Co@Zn-HMTA MOFs served as a self-sacrificial template for pyrolysis at different temperatures. The optimized catalyst (termed as Co-ZnO@CN-CAI) demonstrated the excellent catalytic performance for hydrogenation-alkylation tandem reaction in comparison with the classic ZnO@CN composite (derived from Zn-HMTA MOFs) supported metallic Co catalyst (Co-ZnO@CN-IWI) prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method. Moreover, the kinetic study was also performed to confirm that the alkylation is the rate-determining step in the hydrogenation-alkylation tandem reaction. The origin of enhanced catalytic performance of Co-ZnO@CN-CAI and the role of Co@Zn-HMTA MOFs precursor have been explored by way of various characterizations, e.g. HADDF-STEM-EDS, SEM-EDS, 13C MAS NMR, XRD, Raman and XPS, etc. It is anticipated that the prepared low-cost and easily prepared 2D Zn-HMTA metalloligand will become a general template for synthesis of highly self-supported catalysts with coordination-assisted impregnation strategy (CAI) for various catalytic reactions.

Earth-abundant transition metals could be used as a noble metal replacement in catalysis not only for different catalytic reactivity but environmentally benign methodology. We report here on the iron-catalyzed synthesis of N-alkylated amines via borrowing hydrogen strategy and differently functionalized aniline derivatives are alkylated in good yields.

C–N Cross-coupling Reactions of Amines with Aryl Halides Using Amide-Based Pincer Nickel(II) Catalyst

Abstract: An approach to C–N cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with amines in the presence of an amide-based pincer nickel(II) catalyst (2) is described. For 3?h reactions at 110?°C with 0.2?mol% catalyst, aryl bromides gave higher turnover numbers (TON) than the corresponding chlorides or iodides. Both primary and secondary amines could be used with the former giving higher TON. However, sterically hindered amines showed lower TON. In elucidating the mechanism of this nickel complex-catalyzed C–N cross coupling reaction it was found that the rate of reaction was unchanged in the presence of radical quenchers and a plausible Ni(I)–Ni(III) pathway is proposed. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]Nickel pincer catalyst proved to be excellent catalyst for the C-N cross-coupling reaction with the high turnover number (TON) for 1° and 2° amines and different nonactivated aryl halides under optimum conditions.

Base-mediated cascade amidination/: N -alkylation of amines by alcohols

A base-mediated cascade amidination/N-alkylation reaction of amines by alcohols has been developed. For the first time, nitriles have been identified as an efficient and benign water acceptor reagent in N-alkylation. Notably, the procedure tolerates a series of functional groups, such as methoxyl, halo, vinyl and hetero groups, providing a convenient method to construct different substituted diamino compounds, 15N labeled amine and could be scaled up to 1 mol scale offering 138.7 g of the desired product in good yield in one-pot. Mechanistic studies provided strong evidence for the amidination of amines with nitriles facilitated by t-BuOK.

Ru-Catalyzed Deoxygenative Transfer Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines with Formic Acid/Triethylamine

A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed deoxygenative transfer hydrogenation of amides to amines using HCO2H/NEt3 as the reducing agent is reported for the first time. The catalyst system consisting of [Ru(2-methylallyl)2(COD)], 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl) ethane (triphos) and Bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) (HNTf2) performed well for deoxygenative reduction of various secondary and tertiary amides into the corresponding amines in high yields with excellent selectivities, and exhibits high tolerance toward functional groups including those that are reduction-sensitive. The choice of hydrogen source and acid co-catalyst is critical for catalysis. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reductive amination of the in situ generated alcohol and amine via borrowing hydrogen is the dominant pathway. (Figure presented.).

Borrowing Hydrogen-Mediated N-Alkylation Reactions by a Well-Defined Homogeneous Nickel Catalyst

We report herein a well-defined and bench-stable azo-phenolate ligand-coordinated nickel catalyst which can efficiently execute N-alkylation of a variety of anilines by alcohol. We demonstrate that the redox-active azo ligand can store hydrogen generated during alcohol oxidation and redelivers the same to an in-situ-generated imine bond to result in N-alkylation of amines. The reaction has wide scope, and a large array of alcohols can directly couple to a variety of anilines. Mechanistic studies including deuterium labeling to the substrate establishes the borrowing hydrogen method from alcohols and pinpoints the crucial role of the redox-active azo moiety present on the ligand backbone. Isolation of the ketyl intermediate in its trapped form with a radical quencher and higher kH/kD for the alcohol oxidation step suggest altogether a hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) to the reduced azo backbone to pave alcohol oxidation as opposed to the conventional metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. This example clearly demonstrates that an inexpensive base metal catalyst can accomplish an important coupling reaction with the help of a redox-active ligand backbone.
