Hydroamination of carbonyl compounds with oximes

N-alkyl(cycloalkyl)benzylamines, p-fluorobenzylamines, (1-phenylethyl) amines, [1-(p-fluorophenyl)ethyl]amines were synthesized by hydroamination of aldehydes and ketones with oximes.

Colloidal and Nanosized Catalysts in Organic Synthesis: XXIII. Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds Catalyzed by Nickel Nanoparticles in a Plug-Flow Reactor

Reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with primary and secondary amines under catalysis with nickel nanoparticles supported on zeolite X, MgO, or activated carbon in the gas phase or in the gas-liquid system in a plug-flow reactor proceeds at atmospheric pressure of hydrogen with the formation of secondary or tertiary amines in high yield.

Iron-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of imines assisted by an iron-based Lewis acid

An iron-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of N-aryl and N-alkyl imines using isopropanol as the hydrogen donor is reported for the first time. A combination of two iron complexes serving different roles is the key for the success of this catalytic system. As a result, an environmentally friendly and precious metal-free transfer hydrogenation of imines has been developed. The use of a suitable co-catalyst as an activator not only led to efficient transfer hydrogenation, but also showed potential in enantioselective transformation.

Liquid chromatographic resolution of fendiline and its analogues on a chiral stationary phase based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid

Fendiline, an effective anti-anginal drug for the treatment of coronary heart diseases, and its sixteen analogues were resolved on a CSP based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid. Fendiline was resolved quite well with the separation factor (α) of 1.25 and resolution (RS ) of 1.55 when a mobile phase consisting of methanol-acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid-triethylamine at a ratio of 80/20/0.1/0.5 (v/v/v/v) was used. The comparison of the chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of fendiline and its analogues indicated that the 3,3-diphenylpropyl group bonded to the secondary amino group of fendiline is important in the chiral recognition and the difference in the steric bulkiness between the phenyl group and the methyl group at the chiral center of fendiline is also important in the chiral recognition.

A highly enantioselective organocatalytic method for reduction of aromatic N-alkyl ketimines

A study has demonstrated the development of a highly enantioselective catalytic method for the reduction of aromatic N-alkyl ketimines by trichlorosilane under mild conditions using the newly designed Lewis base organocatalyst that incorporates C- and S-chirality. The S-chiral sulfinamide group in these catalysts plays a crucial role similar to the carboxamide groups as Lewis base for the activation of HSiCl3, and also serves as a source of chirality that the carboxamide group lacks for the asymmetric induction. The results of the study showed that excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99.6% ee and high yields were obtained for a wide range of substrates. Further works is also in progress to clarify the mechanism of the transformation and explore the full application scope of the present catalyst system.

Ruthenium-catalysed Transfer Hydrogenation of Imines by Propan-2-ol

Imines are readily transfer hydrogenated by propan-2-ol under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a catalytic amount of RuCl2(PPh3)3 and base.
