A direct imination reaction was developed by tandem reaction of alcohols and nitro compounds in the presence of Cu-isatin Schiff base-γ-Fe2O3as a nanomagnetically recyclable catalyst under solvent-free conditions. By this method, various imines were prepared in good to high yields from one-pot reaction of various alcohols (primary aromatic and aliphatic) and nitro compounds (aromatic and aliphatic)viaan auto-hydrogen transfer reaction. Use of an inexpensive and easily reusable catalyst, without requiring any additives or excess amounts of benzyl alcohol as the reaction solvent are the other advantages of this method. This catalytic system has the merits of cost effectiveness, environmental benignity, excellent recyclability and good reproducibility.

The traditional Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction represents one of the most powerful tools for imine formation. However, for this multistep procedure, the sacrificial phosphine has to be used, resulting in difficulties in the purification process and waste disposal at the same time. Here, we report a redox-neutral azide-alcohol imination methodology enabled by a base-metal nickel PN3 pincer catalyst. The one-step, waste-free, and high atom-economical features highlight its advantages further. Moreover, mechanistic insight suggests a non-metal-ligand cooperation pathway based on the observation of an intermediate and density functional theory calculations.

Herein, we developed a renewable carbon-supported Ru catalyst (Ru/PNC-700), which was facilely prepared via simple impregnation followed by the pyrolysis process. The prepared Ru/PNC-700 catalyst demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity in terms of conversion and selectivity towards N-alkylation of anilines with benzyl alcohol and chemoselective hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds. In addition, local anesthetic pharmaceutical agents (e.g., butamben and benzocaine), including key drug intermediates, were synthesized in excellent yields under mild conditions and in the presence of water as a green solvent. Moreover, the prepared Ru/PNC-700 catalyst could be easily recovered and reused up to five times without any apparent loss in activity and selectivity.

A sustainable approach which works under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions for the synthesis of structurally diverse secondary amines has been uncovered. This one-pot protocol works efficiently at room temperature and is compatible with a wide range of sterically and electronically diverse aldehydes and primary amines. Notably, this simple process offers scalability, excellent functional group tolerance, chemoselectivity, and is also effective at the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules. This journal is

Flower-like Bi2WO6 microspheres and bulk g-C3N4 were prepared by the hydrothermal method and high-temperature calcining method, respectively. A new method based on the combination of ultrasonic stripping and mechanical stirring was used to obtain uniform composite x-Bi2WO6/g-C3N4 (x is the Bi2WO6 mass ratio) photocatalysts with a Z-scheme heterojunction. In the reaction of benzyl alcohol and aniline to form imine, the optimal composite, 30percent-Bi2WO6/g-C3N4, showed a conversion rate of 87.6percent, which is much higher than that of pure Bi2WO6 and g-C3N4. Characterization by SEM and TEM showed that the ultrasonically stripped g-C3N4 significantly reduced the radial dimension compared to bulk g-C3N4. A uniformly dispersed photocatalytic material was formed, and it maintained a flower-like microsphere structure. Materials characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET) showed that the specific surface area of the g-C3N4 nanosheets increased by approximately ten times after ultrasonic stripping. The photostability of the composite was verified by cyclic experiments. Under visible light irradiation, the activation energy of the coupling reaction between benzyl alcohol and aniline was found to be decreased by 29.8 kJ mol?1. A capture experiment was used to verify the active species in the photocatalytic system, with the reaction found to be mainly completed through the synergistic action of h+, e? and ?O2?.

The selective N-alkylation of anilines with benzylic alcohols can be switched in favor of the dehydrogenative condensation process using the nitrile-ligated Kn?lker's complex by conducting the reaction either in a closed system under inert conditions, or in an open system in air. The selective formation of imines, containing reactive C=N bonds, provides an opportunity towards further functionalization. Indeed, a one-pot three-component condensation of alcohols, amines and phosphites, promoted by an iron-based Kn?lker-type complex in combination with a chiral BINOL-based phosphoric acid, provides access to enantioenriched α-N-alkylaminophosphonates.

Primary aminoboranes (RNHBR2), which are readily available by spontaneous dehydrocoupling of amines and boranes cleanly react at room temperature with aldehydes to give aldimines. The overall transformation from amines to aldimines can be conveniently performed by a sequential one-pot reaction. This synthetic strategy is especially useful for electron poor and bulky amines which are reluctant to react with aldehydes under dehydration conditions. Using a Glorius robustness screen, we show that this methodology is chemoselective, and functional group tolerant. Computational and experimental data support the irreversible formation of the aldimine product in marked contrast with traditional methods.

In this study, the carrier g-C3N4 was prepared by melamine, and the Ag-Pd/g-C3N4 catalyst was synthesized by the NaBH4 reduction method. Different characterization techniques, including SEM, TEM, XRD, UV–vis DRS, XPS, photoluminescence spectra (PL) and BET, were employed to investigate the morphology and optical properties of the as-prepared samples. The Ag-Pd/g-C3N4 catalyst was used for the synthesis of imine from a benzyl alcohol and aniline. The results show that when the total loading of Ag and Pd is 2 wt%, and the mass ratio of Ag and Pd is 1:1, the activity of the catalyst is the highest (The highest conversion of aniline is 86.7% and the product selectivity is >99%.). The reaction is optimized by changing the type of solvent, the type and amount of base, the type of catalyst, and the amount of reactants. The optimal reaction conditions are 6 ml of n-hexane, 1.4 mmol of Cs2CO3, 50 mg of the Ag-Pd/g-C3N4 (2 wt%, 1:1), and 2:1 mol ratio of benzyl alcohol and aniline. Under optimal reaction conditions, alcohol derivatives and amine derivatives were investigated to determine the suitable range of the catalyst for alcohols and amines. Then, the effects of different light intensities and wavelengths on the reaction were explored. Additionally, the catalyst's recycling ability was tested, and it was found to be relatively stable. The effect of reactive groups on the mechanism shows that the reaction is mainly achieved by the synergy between h+, e? and ·O2?.

PdAu@MIL-100(Fe), with PdAu alloy nanoparticles of ca. 1.7 nm encapsulated inside MIL-100(Fe) cavities, were prepared via a double-solvent impregnation followed by photoreduction. As compared with bare Pd@MIL-100(Fe), bimetallic PdAu@MIL-100(Fe) showed superior activities for the tandem reactions between amines and alcohols to produce N-alkyl amines under visible-light irradiation, ascribed to the promoting effect of metallic Au in the photocatalytic alcohol-to-aldehyde dehydrogenation. A Pd/Au ratio dependent N-alkylation activity was observed over PdAu@MIL-100(Fe), implying the possibility of synchronizing the reaction rates of two consecutive steps in the N-alkylation reaction, i.e., photocatalytic alcohol-to-aldehyde dehydrogenation and imines hydrogenation, to optimize the whole reaction. This study provides a highly efficient and stable catalytic system for the realization of alkylation of amines via a successful coupling of MOF-based photocatalysis and metal nanoparticle-based hydrogenation. This work also demonstrates that the reaction rates of different catalytic steps in a cascade/tandem reaction can be synchronized for an efficient overall reaction via a rational design of the multifunctional catalysts.
