Additive-free selective methylation of secondary amines with formic acid over a Pd/In2O3 catalyst

Formic acid is used as the sole carbon and hydrogen source in the methylation of aromatic and aliphatic amines to methylamines. The reaction proceeds via a formylation/transfer hydrogenation pathway over a solid Pd/In2O3 catalyst without the need for any additive.

Aminomethylation of Aryl Bromides by Nickel-Catalyzed Electrochemical Redox Neutral Cross Coupling

We develop an electrochemical nickel-catalyzed aminomethylation of aryl bromides under mild conditions. The convergent paired electrolysis makes full use of anode and cathode processes, free of a terminal oxidant, a sacrificial anode, a metal reductant, and a prefunctionalized radical precursor. In addition, this method exhibits wide functional group tolerance (63 examples), including some sensitive substituents and aromatic heterocycles. This redox neutral cross coupling provides a more environmentally friendly and synthetic practical protocol for forging C(sp2)–C(sp3) bonds.

Fe(III)-catalyzed Oxidative Povarov Reaction with Molecular Oxygen Oxidant

The synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline derivatives from dimethyl anilines and enamides has been developed by Fe(III)-phenanthroline complex under aerobic condition. The oxidation of tertiary anilines involving a single electron transfer of Fe(phen)3(PF6)3 afforded the iminium ion intermediate, which reacted with electron-rich alkenes to build a six-membered N-heterocycles containing quaternary carbon center via the oxidative Povarov reaction process.

Photocatalytic carbocarboxylation of styrenes with CO2for the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric esters

Metal-free photoredox-catalyzed carbocarboxylation of various styrenes with carbon dioxide (CO2) and amines to obtain γ-aminobutyric ester derivatives has been developed (up to 91% yield, 36 examples). The radical anion of (2,3,4,6)-3-benzyl-2,4,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (4CzBnBN) possessing a high reduction potential (?1.72 Vvs.saturated calomel electrode (SCE)) easily reduces both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing group-substituted styrenes.

Mesoionic N-heterocyclic olefin catalysed reductive functionalization of CO2for consecutiveN-methylation of amines

A mesoionic N-heterocyclic olefin (mNHO) was introduced as a metal-free catalyst for the reductive functionalization of CO2leading to consecutive doubleN-methylation of primary amines in the presence of 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN). A wide range of secondary amines and primary amines were successfully methylated under mild conditions. The catalyst sustained over six successive cycles ofN-methylation of secondary amines without compromising its activity, which encouraged us to check its efficacy towards doubleN-methylation of primary amines. Moreover, this method was utilized for the synthesis of two commercially available drug molecules. A detailed mechanistic cycle was proposed by performing a series of control reactions along with the successful characterisation of active catalytic intermediates either by single-crystal X-ray study or by NMR spectroscopic studies in association with DFT calculations.

Alcohol promoted N -methylation of anilines with CO2/H2over a cobalt catalyst under mild conditions

N-Methylation of amines with CO2/H2 to N-methylamines over non-noble metal catalysts is very interesting but remains challenging. Herein, we present an alcohol (e.g., ethanol) promoted strategy for the N-methylation of anilines with CO2/H2 with high efficiency under mild conditions (e.g., 125 °C), which is achieved over a cobalt catalytic system composed of Co(OAc)2·4H2O, triphos and Sn(OTf)2. This catalytic system has a broad substrate scope and is tolerant toward a wide range of anilines and N-methyl anilines, and a series of N,N-dimethyl anilines were obtained in high yields. Mechanism investigation indicates that the alcohol solvent shifts the equilibrium of CO2 hydrogenation by forming an alkyl formate, which further reacts with the amine to produce N-formamide, and Sn(OTf)2 promotes the deoxygenative hydrogenation of N-formamides to afford N-methylamines. This is the first example of the N-methylation of amines with CO2/H2 over a cobalt catalytic system, which shows comparable performance to the reported Ru catalysts and may have promising applications.

Nickel-Catalyzed Amination of Aryl Chlorides with Amides

A nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides with diverse amides via C-N bond cleavage has been realized under mild conditions. A broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance at a low catalyst loading makes the protocol powerful for synthesizing various aromatic amines. The aryl chlorides could selectively couple to the amino fragments rather than the carbonyl moieties of amides. Our protocol complements the conventional amination of aryl chlorides and expands the usage of inactive amides.

Borane-Trimethylamine Complex as a Reducing Agent for Selective Methylation and Formylation of Amines with CO2

We report herein that a borane-trimethylamine complex worked as an efficient reducing agent for the selective methylation and formylation of amines with 1 atm CO2 under metal-free conditions. 6-Amino-2-picoline serves as a highly efficient catalyst for the methylation of various secondary amines, whereas in its absence, the formylation of primary and secondary amines was achieved in high yield with high chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the 6-amino-2-picoline-borane catalytic system operates like an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair to activate CO2.

CO2-tuned highly selective reduction of formamides to the corresponding methylamines

We herein describe an efficient, CO2-tuned and highly selective C-O bond cleavage of N-methylated formanilides. With easy-to-handle and commercially available NaBH4 as the reductant, a variety of formanilides could be turned into the desired tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields. The role of CO2 has been investigated in detail, and the mechanism is proposed on the basis of experiments.

Simplified preparation of a graphene-co-shelled Ni/NiO@C nano-catalyst and its application in theN-dimethylation synthesis of amines under mild conditions

The development of Earth-abundant, reusable and non-toxic heterogeneous catalysts to be applied in the pharmaceutical industry for bio-active relevant compound synthesis remains an important goal of general chemical research.N-methylated compounds, as one of the most essential bioactive compounds, have been widely used in the fine and bulk chemical industries for the production of high-value chemicals. Herein, an environmentally friendly and simplified method for the preparation of graphene encapsulated Ni/NiO nanoalloy catalysts (Ni/NiO@C) was developed for the first time, for the highly selective synthesis ofN-methylated compounds using various functional amines and aldehydes under easy to handle, and industrially applicable conditions. A large number of primary and secondary amines (more than 70 examples) could be converted to the correspondingN,N-dimethylamines with the participation of different functional aldehydes, with an average yield of over 95%. A gram-scale synthesis also demonstrated a similar yield when compared with the benchmark test. In addition, it was further proved that the catalyst could easily be recycled because of its intrinsic magnetism and reused up to 10 times without losing its activity and selectivity. Also, for the first time, the tandem synthesis ofN,N-dimethylamine products in a one-pot process, using only a single earth-abundant metal catalyst, whose activity and selectivity were more than 99% and 94%, respectively, for all tested substrates, was developed. Overall, the advantages of this newly developed method include operational simplicity, high stability, easy recyclability, cost-effectiveness of the catalyst, and good functional group compatibility for the synthesis ofN-methylation products as well as the industrially applicable tandem synthesis process.
