Paragraph 0005-0006; 0065-0068, (2021/07/31)
The invention relates to a green method for catalyzing reduction reaction of aliphatic nitro derivatives. According to the method, non-transition metal compounds, namely triethyl boron and potassium tert-butoxide, are used as a catalytic system for the first time, an aliphatic nitro derivative and pinacolborane which is low in price and easy to obtain are catalyzed to be subjected to a reduction reaction under mild conditions, and an aliphatic amine hydrochloride product is synthesized after acidification with a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution. Compared with a traditional method, the method generally has the advantages that the catalyst is cheap and easy to obtain, operation is convenient, and reaction is safe. The selective reduction reaction of the aliphatic nitro derivative catalyzed by the non-transition metal catalyst and pinacol borane is realized for the first time, and the aliphatic amine hydrochloride product is synthesized through acidification treatment of the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, so that a practical new reaction strategy is provided for laboratory preparation or industrial production.

The synthesis of a new bidentate (NN)–Mn(I) complex is reported and its catalytic activity towards the reduction of ketones and nitriles is studied. On comparing the reactivity of various other Mn(I) complexes supported by benzimidazole ligand, it was observed that the Mn(I) complexes bearing 6-methylpyridine and benzimidazole fragments exhibited the highest catalytic activity towards monohydrosilylation of ketones and dihydrosilylation of nitriles. Using this protocol, a wide range of ketones were selectively reduced to the corresponding silyl ethers. In case of unsaturated ketones, the chemoselective reduction of carbonyl group over olefinic bonds was observed. Additionally, selective dihydrosilylation of several nitriles were also achieved using this complex. Mechanistic investigations with radical scavengers suggested the involvement of radical species during the catalytic reaction. Stoichiometric reaction of the Mn(I) complex with phenylsilane revealed the formation of a new Mn(I) complex.

An abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) based potassium complex was used as a transition metal-free catalyst for reduction of primary amides to corresponding primary amines under ambient conditions. Only 2 mol% loading of the catalyst exhibits a broad substrate scope including aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic primary amides with excellent functional group tolerance. This method was applicable for reduction of chiral amides and utilized for the synthesis of pharmaceutically valuable precursors on a gram scale. During mechanistic investigation, several intermediates were isolated and characterized through spectroscopic techniques and one of the catalytic intermediates was characterized through single-crystal XRD. A well-defined catalyst and isolable intermediate along with several stoichiometric experiments, in situ NMR experiments and the DFT study helped us to sketch the mechanistic pathway for this reduction process unravelling the dual role of the catalyst involving nucleophilic activation by aNHC along with Lewis acidic activation by K ions.
