Recent years have witnessed a continuous development of photocatalysts to satisfy the growing demand of photophysical and redox properties in photoredox catalysis, with complex structures or alternative strategies devised to access highly reducing or oxidising systems. We report herein the use of peri-xanthenoxanthene (PXX), a simple and inexpensive dye, as an efficient photocatalyst. Its highly reducing excited state allows activation of a wide range of substrates, thus triggering useful radical reactions. Benchmark transformations such as the addition of organic radicals, generated by photoreduction of organic halides, to radical traps are initially demonstrated. More complex dual catalytic manifolds are also shown to be accessible: the β-arylation of cyclic ketones is successful when using a secondary amine as organocatalyst, while cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with amines and thiols are obtained when using a Ni co-catalyst. Application to the efficient two-step synthesis of the expensive fluoro-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole, a crucial synthetic intermediate for the investigational drug setipiprant, has been also demonstrated.

Page/Page column 0047-0048, (2021/08/06)
Disclosed is a method for preparing a benzyl amine compound, i.e., synthesizing a benzyl amine compound by means of an oxidation reaction between a methylbenzene/ethylbenzene compound and arylamine by using an ionic iron (III) complex containing 1,3-di-tert-butylimidazolium cation and having a molecular formula of [(RNCHCHNR)CH][FeBr4] (R being tert-butyl) and di-t-butyl peroxide as an oxidant. The present invention is not only applicable to a methylbenzene compound containing a benzylic primary carbon-hydrogen bond but also applicable to an ethylbenzene compound containing a benzylic secondary carbon-hydrogen bond, and therefore is widely applicable. This is the first case where the preparation of a benzyl amine compound by means of an oxidation reaction between a methylbenzene/ethylbenzene compound and arylamine is implemented by an iron catalyst.

Iron-catalyzed oxidative amination of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with anilines bearing electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) or electron-donating groups (EDGs) is realized based on simple variations of N-substituents on imidazolium cations in novel ionic Fe(III) complexes. The structural modification of the imidazolium cation resulted in regulation of the redox potential and the catalytic performance of the iron metal center. Using DTBP as oxidant, [HItBu][FeBr4] showed the highest catalytic activity for anilines bearing EWGs, while [HIPym][FeBr4] was more efficient for EDG-substituted anilines. This work provides alternative access to benzylamines with the advantages of both a wide substrate scope and iron catalysis.

The reaction of [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 with in situ prepared Ag-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes yields a series of [RuCl2(p-cymene)(NHC)] complexes (2). All of the complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, and 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies. These complexes have been tested for the N-alkylation of aromatic amines with arylmethyl alcohols under neat conditions in the presence of KOtBu at 120 °C. Compounds (2) are stable and have high catalytic/selective activity for the N-alkylation reactions of primary amines to afford secondary amines.

A porous polymeric ligand (PPL) has been synthesized and complexed with copper to generate a heterogeneous catalyst (Cu@PPL) that has facilitated the efficient C-N coupling with various (hetero)aryl chlorides under mild conditions of visible-light irradiation at 80 °C (58 examples, up to 99% yields). This method could be applied to both aqueous ammonia and substituted amines, and is compatible to a variety of functional groups and heterocycles, as well as allows tandem C-N couplings with conjunctive dihalides. Furthermore, the heterogeneous characteristic of Cu@PPL has enabled a straightforward catalyst separation in multiple times of recycling with negligible catalytic efficiency loss by simple filtration, affording reaction mixtures containing less than 1 ppm of Cu residue.

A versatile metal- and base-free direct reductive amination of aldehydes with amines using formic acid as a reductant under the catalysis of inexpensive BF3·Et2O has been developed. A wide range of primary and secondary amines and diversely substituted aldehydes are compatible with this transformation, allowing facile access to various secondary and tertiary amines in high yields with wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, the method is convenient for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds and preparation of commercialized drug molecules and biologically relevant N-heterocycles. The procedure has the advantages of simple operation and workup and easy scale-up, and does not require dry conditions, an inert atmosphere or a water scavenger. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of imine activation by BF3and hydride transfer from formic acid.

Anionic NHC ligands recently developed in our group, derived from N-iminoimidazolium ylides, were used to synthesize NHC-iridium(III) complexes. Their catalytic activities were evaluated in the amine alkylation of anilines using borrowing hydrogen catalysis. The high-yielding synthesis of a small library of complexes allowed a rapid screening of the ideal steric bulk of the NHC unit and basicity of the anionic tether for the investigated model reaction. A bulky aromatic N group on the imidazolidene moiety is required to achieve high catalytic activity, and the latter is proportional to the basicity of the anionic group. A selected substrate scope of the reaction was performed, providing fair to excellent yields of the desired alkylated anilines.

Therefore, the aryl halide coupling reaction has a very good large-scale application prospect by adopting the copper catalysis system of the ligand.

An anionic iridium complex [Cp*Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(OH)][Na] was found to be a general and highly efficient catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines with methanol under base-free conditions. Readily reducible or labile substituents, such as nitro, cyano, and ester groups, were tolerated under present reaction conditions. Notably, this study exhibits the unique potential of anionic metal-ligand bifunctional iridium catalysts for transfer hydrogenation with methanol as a hydrogen source.
