Switchable Imine and Amine Synthesis Catalyzed by a Well-Defined Cobalt Complex

Switchable imine and amine synthesis catalyzed by a tripodal ligand-supported well-defined cobalt complex is presented herein. A large variety of primary alcohols and amines were selectively converted to imines or amines in good to excellent yields. It is discovered that the base plays a crucial role on the selectivity. A catalytic amount of base leads to the imine formation, while an excess loading of base results in the amine product. This strategy on product selectivity also strongly depends on the organometallic catalysts in use. We expect that the present study could provide useful insights toward selective organic synthesis and catalyst design.

Trisaminocyclopropenium Cations as Small-Molecule Organic Fluorophores: Design Guidelines and Bioimaging Applications

The discovery of fluorescence two centuries ago ushered in, what is today, an illuminating field of science rooted in the rational design of photochromic molecules for task-specific bio-, material-, and medical-driven applications. Today, this includes applications in bioimaging and diagnosis, photodynamic therapy regimes, in addition to photovoltaic devices and solar cells, among a vast multitude of other usages. In furthering this indispensable area of daily life and modern-day scientific research, we report herein the synthesis of a class of trisaminocyclopropenium fluorophores along with a systematic investigation of their unique molecular and electronic dependent photophysical properties. Among these fluorophores, tris[N(naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)phenylamino] cyclopropenium chloride (TNTPC) displayed a strong photophysical profile including a 0.92 quantum yield ascribed to intramolecular charge transfer and intramolecular through-space conjugation. Moreover, this cyclopropenium-based fluorophore functions as a competent imaging agent for DNA visualization and nuclear counterstaining in cell culture. To facilitate the broader use of these compounds, design principles supported by density functional theory calculations for engineering analogs of this class of fluorophores are offered. Collectively, this study adds to the burgeoning interest in cyclopropenium compounds and their unique properties as fluorophores with uses in bioimaging applications.

Bidentate geometry-constrained iminopyridyl nickel-catalyzed synthesis of amines or imines via borrowing hydrogen or dehydrogenative condensation

The efficient Ni-catalyzed N-alkylation of various anilines with alcohols via borrowing hydrogen is reported using a bidentate geometry-constrained iminopyridyl nickel complex as the catalyst. Substituted benzylic alcohols and short/long chain aliphatic alcohols could be applied as the alkylation sources to couple with aromatic and heteroaromatic amines to give a diverse set of N-alkylation outcomes in moderate to excellent yields. The nickel catalytic system was also suitable for aliphatic amines, selectively delivering the corresponding imines via an acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation strategy.

Nickel-catalyzed N-arylation of amines with arylboronic acids under open air

In this study, a well-defined, novel NHC-Ni complex was developed and used to catalyze the N-arylation of alkyl- and arylamines with arylboronic acids in a rare version of Chan-Lam coupling. Although the same coupling using copper catalysts has been widely studied, the nickel-catalyzed version is rare and normally requires 10–20 mol% catalyst loading. This novel NHC-Ni complex in combination with 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, however, proved to be an effective catalyst that lowered the required catalyst loading to only 2.0 mol%.

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.

Cu-mediated selective bromination of aniline derivatives and preliminary mechanism study

A simple and efficient bromination of aniline, aniline derivatives, and analogs have been developed. Forty three examples were given and the highest yield reached was 98%. Different substrates including substituted aniline, pyridin-amine, N-substituted aniline, N,N-disubstituted aniline, N-phenyl-amide, N-phenyl-sulfonamide, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles were all reactive and selectively generated desired bromo-products. The method can be applied to synthesize drug intermediate and quinoxaline derivatives.

Tailored Cobalt-Catalysts for Reductive Alkylation of Anilines with Carboxylic Acids under Mild Conditions

The first cobalt-catalyzed hydrogenative N-methylation and alkylation of amines with readily available carboxylic acid feedstocks as alkylating agents and H2 as ideal reductant is described. Combination of tailor-made triphos ligands with cobalt(II) tetrafluoroborate significantly improved the efficiency, thus promoting the reaction under milder conditions. This novel protocol allows for a broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance, even in the presence of reducible alkenes, esters, and amides.

Efficient nickel-catalysed: N -alkylation of amines with alcohols

The selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen strategy represents a prominent sustainable catalytic method, which produces water as the only by-product and is ideally suited for the catalytic transformation of widely available alcohol reaction partners that can be derived from renewable resources. Intensive research has been devoted to the development of novel catalysts that are mainly based on expensive noble metals. However, the availability of homogeneous or heterogeneous non-precious metal catalysts for this transformation is very limited. Herein we present a highly active and remarkably easy-to-prepare Ni based catalyst system for the selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols, that is in situ generated from Ni(COD)2 and KOH under ligand-free conditions. This novel method is very efficient for the functionalization of aniline and derivatives with a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols as well as diols and exhibits excellent functional group tolerance including halides, benzodioxane and heteroaromatic groups. Several TEM measurements combined with elemental analysis were conducted in order to gain insight into the nature of the active catalyst and factors influencing reactivity.

An Efficient Homogenized Ruthenium(II) Pincer Complex for N-Monoalkylation of Amines with Alcohols

An ionic 2,6-bis(imidazo[1,2-α]pyridin-2-yl)pyridine-based N^N^N pincer ruthenium(II) complex exhibited high efficiency in the C–N bond formation between amines and alcohols by the “borrowing hydrogen” (BH) or “hydrogen autotransfer” (HA) concept. The synthetic protocol selectively generated monoalkylated amines without formation of tertiary amines during the reaction. The unique selectivity enabled the formation of symmetrically and asymmetrically substituted diamines. This methodology features several advantages including a low catalyst loading (as low as 0.5 mol-%), a short reaction time (as short as 2 h), and excellent N-monoalkylation selectivity.

Hemilabile N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-nitrogen-phosphine mediated Ru (II)-catalyzed N-alkylation of aromatic amine with alcohol efficiently

Based on the hemilability, a novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-nitrogen-phosphine ligand (1) was synthesized, and the combination of it with [Ru(COD)Cl2]n showed the high activity and selectivity with a low Ru loading of 0.1% for the N-alkylation of amine with alcohol. Especially, for these substrates with pyridine backbone, even if the catalyst loading was as low as 0.01%, good yields (81–95%) of the desired products were achieved.
