Methanol is a potential hydrogen source and C1 synthon, which finds interesting applications in both chemical synthesis and energy technologies. The effective utilization of this simple alcohol in organic synthesis is of central importance and attracts scientific interest. Herein, we report a clean and cost-competitive method with the use of methanol as both C1 synthon and H2 source for selective N-methylation of amines by employing relatively cheap RuCl3.xH2O as a ligand-free catalyst. This readily available catalyst tolerates various amines comprising electron-deficient and electron-donating groups and allows them to transform into corresponding N-methylated products in moderate to excellent yields. In addition, few marketed pharmaceutical agents (e. g., venlafaxine and imipramine) were also successfully synthesized via late-stage functionalization from readily available feedstock chemicals, highlighting synthetic value of this advanced N-methylation reaction. Using this platform, we also attempted tandem reactions with selected nitroarenes to convert them into corresponding N-methylated amines using MeOH under H2-free conditions including transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes-to-anilines and prepared drug molecules (e. g., benzocaine and butamben) as well as key pharmaceutical intermediates. We further enable one-shot selective and green syntheses of 1-methylbenzimidazole using ortho-phenylenediamine (OPDA) and methanol as coupling partners.

The iron-catalyzed α-C-H alkylation of N-methylanilines without any directing group by cross-dehydrogenative coupling between unactivated C(sp3)-H and C(sp3)-H bonds has been established for the first time, which provides a good complement to C(sp3)-H activation reactions and expands the field of Fe-catalyzed C-H functionalizations. Many different C(sp3)-H bonds in cyclic alkanes, cyclic ethers, and toluene derivatives can be used as coupling partners. Mechanistic investigations including the radical reaction process, the main role of various reagents, and the kinetic isotope effect experiment were also described.

Cobalt(ii)-catalyzed stereospecific coupling of N-methylanilines with styrene oxides is developed via tandem C-N and C-O bond formation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Optically active epoxide can be reacted with high optical purity.

The oxidation of 3-oxo-N-phenylbutanamides 1 with manganese(III) acetate in ethanol afforded dimeric 3,3'-biindoline-2,2'-dione derivatives 3-5. A similar reaction of N,2-disubstituted N-aryl-3-oxobutanamides 6 in acetic acid produced 3-acetylindolin-2-ones 7 bearing various substituents in good to excellent yields. The acetylindolinones 7 were easily deacetylated by treatment using neutral alumina in diethyl ether. Both the acetylindolinones 7 and deacetylated indolinones 8 were transformed by reduction into the substituted 1H-indoles.

It is highly desirable to develop efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic reactions. Here, we show the preparation and catalytic performance of a novel TiO2 (P25) supported Cu and Mo photocatalyst (Cu-Mo/TiO2) for N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under UV irradiation at room temperature. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic amines were selectively converted into the corresponding secondary amines or tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields without the addition of any co-catalysts such as bases and organic ligands. Noteworthy, this catalytic system is feasible in the alkylation of anilines containing halogen substituents with alcohols and the yields of the desired products are up to 95%.

experimental part, p. 567 - 570 (2010/08/05)
The utility of [EMIm][Pro] as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot direct asymmetric aza Diels-Alder reaction has been developed. A set of cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones have been explored in up to 93% yield with up to >99/1 dr and >99% ee. Moreover, the catalytic system can be recycled and reused for six times without any significant loss of catalytic activity.
Revisitation of Formaldehyde Aniline Condensation. VII. 1,3,5-Triarylhexahydro-sym-triazines and 1,3,5,7-Tetraaryl-1,3,5,7-tetrazocines from Aromatic Amines and Paraformaldehyde

A product study of the reaction between a number of aromatic amines substituted with widely different groups and paraformaldehyde in inert solvents was performed and found to yield 1,3,5-triaryl-1,3,5-hexahydrotriazines, 1,3,5,7-tetraaryl-1,3,5,7-tetrazocines and formaminals.It was not possible to correlate the product outcomes with the actual structure of the amine substrate.The X-ray diffraction structural determination of 1,3,5-tri-(t-butylphenyl)- (1b) and 1,3,5-tri-(m-fluorophenyl)-1,3,5-hexahydrotriazine (1c) showed the diaxial arrangement of the N-substituents.
