Core–shell nanocatalysts are attractive due to their versatility and stability. Here, we describe cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated within graphitic shells prepared via the pyrolysis of a cationic poly-ionic liquid (PIL) with a cobalt(II) chloride anion. The resulting material has a core–shell structure that displays excellent activity and selectivity in the self-dehydrogenation and hetero-dehydrogenation of primary amines to their corresponding imines. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibits excellent activity in the synthesis of secondary imines from substrates with various reducible functional groups (C=C, C≡C and C≡N) and amino acid derivatives.

CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) can be used as stable and highly active photoredox catalysts for efficient transfer hydrogenation of imines to amines with thiophenol as a hydrogen atom donor. This reaction proceeds via a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from the QDs conduction band to the protonated imine followed by hydrogen atom transfer from the thiophenol to the α-aminoalkyl radical. This precious metal free transformation is easy to scale up and can be carried out by a one-pot protocol directly from aldehyde, amine, and thiophenol. Additional advantageous features of this protocol include a wide substrate scope, high yield of the amine products, extremely low catalyst loading (0.001 mol %), high turnover number (105), and the mild reaction conditions of using visible light or sun light at room temperature in neutral media.

Chiral biphenols catalyze the asymmetric Petasis borono-Mannich allylation of aldehydes and amines through the use of a bench-stable allyldioxaborolane. The reaction proceeds via a two-step, one-pot process and requires 2–8 mole % of 3,3′-Ph2-BINOL as the optimal catalyst. Under microwave heating the reaction affords chiral homoallylic amines in excellent yields (up to 99 %) and high enantioselectivies (er up to 99:1). The catalytic reaction is a true multicomponent condensation reaction whereas both the aldehyde and the amine can possess a wide range of structural and electronic properties. Use of crotyldioxaborolane in the reaction results in stereodivergent products with anti- and syn-diastereomers both in good diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities from the corresponding E- and Z-borolane stereoisomers.
