Recyclable Oxofluorovanadate-Catalyzed Formylation of Amines by Reductive Functionalization of CO2 with Hydrosilanes

An efficient method has been developed for the reductive amination of CO2 by using readily available and recyclable oxofluorovanadates as catalysts. Various amines are transformed into the desired N-formylated products in moderate to excellent yields at room temperature in the presence of phenylsilane. Mechanistic studies based on in situ infrared spectroscopy suggest a reaction pathway initiated through F?Si interactions. The activated phenylsilane allows for CO2 insertion to produce phenylsilyl formate, which undergoes attack by the amine to generate the target product.

Tetracoordinate borates as catalysts for reductive formylation of amines with carbon dioxide

We report sodium trihydroxyaryl borates as the first robust tetracoordinate organoboron catalysts for reductive functionalization of CO2. These catalysts, easily synthesized from condensing boronic acids with metal hydroxides, activate main group element-hydrogen (E-H) bonds efficiently. In contrast to BX3 type boranes, boronic acids and metal-BAr4 salts, under transition metal-free conditions, sodium trihydroxyaryl borates exhibit high reactivity of reductive N-formylation toward a variety of amines (106 examples), including those with functional groups such as ester, olefin, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, halogen, MeS-, ether groups, etc. The over-performance to catalyze formylation of challenging pyridyl amines affords a promising alternative method to the use of traditional formylation reagents. Mechanistic investigation supports electrostatic interactions as the key for Si/B-H activation, enabling alkali metal borates as versatile catalysts for hydroborylation, hydrosilylation, and reductive formylation/methylation of CO2.

UiO-66 as an efficient catalyst for N-formylation of amines with CO2 and dimethylamine borane as a reducing agent

The most effective way to make the best use of CO2, is the reductive formylation of amines, as formamides have many applications in industry. A new protocol has been developed for reductive N-formylation of amines with CO2 as a C1 carbon source and DMAB (Dimethylamine borane) as a reducing agent in the presence of Zr-containing metal–organic framework (MOF) as an efficient, heterogeneous recyclable catalyst. We used UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 as catalysts for N-formylation of amines and observed that both the catalyst performs equally. Therefore, we continued our studies with UiO-66 as a catalyst. The UiO-66 MOF shows good catalytic activity and affording the desired formamides in good to excellent yield. This catalytic system is very efficient for several amines including primary and secondary aliphatic cyclic and aromatic amines. Moreover, the prepared catalyst was recycled up to four recycled without a considerable decrease in catalytic activity.

Amine modified mesoporous Al2O3@MCM-41: An efficient, synergetic and recyclable catalyst for the formylation of amines using carbon dioxide and DMAB under mild reaction conditions

This work reports an amine modified meso Al2O3@MCM-41, particularly the ordered mesoporous silica, as a catalyst for the formylation of amines with carbon dioxide (CO2) and with dimethylamine-borane (DMAB) as a green reducing source. This newly developed catalytic system represents a heterogeneous and environmentally benign protocol. Besides this, the catalyst could be reused for five consecutive cycles without any significant loss in its catalytic activity towards the synthesis of formamides. The amine modified meso Al2O3@MCM-41 catalysts were well characterized by high and low angle XRD, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), BET-surface area, TGA/DTA and FT-IR analysis techniques. The effect of various reaction parameters such as temperature, CO2 pressure, time and the ratio of substrates to DMAB for the synthesis of formamides has been investigated. The developed protocol can be applicable for the synthesis of most important key intermediates like formoterol, orlistat, leucovarin and iguratimod in biologically active compounds.
