Reductive Alkylation of Quinolines to N-Alkyl Tetrahydroquinolines Catalyzed by Arylboronic Acid

A boronic acid catalyzed one-pot tandem reduction of quinolines to tetrahydroquinolines followed by reductive alkylation by the aldehyde has been demonstrated. This step-economcial synthesis of N-alkyl tetrahydroquinolines has been achieved directly from readily available quinolines, aldehydes, and Hantzsch ester under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic study demonstrates the unique behavior of organoboron catalysts as both Lewis acids and hydrogen-bond donors.

Homogeneous pressure hydrogenation of quinolines effected by a bench-stable tungsten-based pre-catalyst

We report on an operationally simple catalytic method for the tungsten-catalyzed hydrogenation of quinolines through the use of the easily handled and self-contained precursor [WCl(η5-Cp)(CO)3]. This half sandwich complex is indefinitely storable on the bench in simple screw-capped bottles or stoppered flasks and can, if required, be prepared on a multi-gram scale while the actual catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of a Lewis acid in order to achieve both decent substrate conversions and product yields. The described method represents a facile and atom-efficient access to a variety of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines that circumvents the use of cost-intensive and oxygen-sensitive phosphine ligands as well as auxiliary hydride reagents.

Heterogeneous Hydrogenation of Quinoline Derivatives Effected by a Granular Cobalt Catalyst

We communicate a convenient method for the pressure hydrogenation of quinolines in aqueous solution by using a particulate cobalt-based catalyst that is prepared in situ from simple Co(OAc)2 4H2O through reduction with abundant zinc powder. This catalytic protocol permits a brisk and atom-efficient access to a variety of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines thereby relying solely on easy-to-handle reagents that are all readily obtained from commercial sources. Both the reaction setup assembly and the autoclave charging procedure are conducted on the bench outside an inert-gas-operated containment system, thus rendering the overall synthesis time-saving and operationally very simple.

Tuning the Catalytic Performance of Cobalt Nanoparticles by Tungsten Doping for Efficient and Selective Hydrogenation of Quinolines under Mild Conditions

Non-noble bimetallic CoW nanoparticles (NPs) partially embedded in a carbon matrix (CoW@C) have been prepared by a facile hydrothermal carbon-coating methodology followed by pyrolysis under an inert atmosphere. The bimetallic NPs, constituted by a multishell core-shell structure with a metallic Co core, a W-enriched shell involving Co7W6 alloyed structures, and small WO3 patches partially covering the surface of these NPs, have been established as excellent catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of quinolines to their corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines under mild conditions of pressure and temperature. It has been found that this bimetallic catalyst displays superior catalytic performance toward the formation of the target products than the monometallic Co@C, which can be attributed to the presence of the CoW alloyed structures.

Half-Sandwich Ruthenium Complexes for One-Pot Synthesis of Quinolines and Tetrahydroquinolines: Diverse Catalytic Activity in the Coupled Cyclization and Hydrogenation Process

Four types of half-sandwich ruthenium complexes with an N,O-coordinate mode based on hydroxyindanone-imine ligands have been prepared in good yields. These stable ruthenium complexes exhibited high activity in the catalytic synthesis of quinolines from the reactions of amino alcohols with different types of ketones or secondary alcohols under very mild conditions. Moreover, the methodology for the direct one-pot synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline derivatives from amino alcohols and ketones has been also developed on the basis of the continuous catalytic activity of this ruthenium catalyst in the selective hydrogenation of the obtained quinoline derivatives with a low catalyst loading. The corresponding products, quinolines and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives, were afforded in good to excellent yields. The efficient and diverse catalytic activity of these ruthenium complexes suggested their potential large-scale application. All of the ruthenium complexes were characterized by various spectroscopies to confirm their structures.

A General Catalyst Based on Cobalt Core–Shell Nanoparticles for the Hydrogenation of N-Heteroarenes Including Pyridines

Herein, we report the synthesis of specific silica-supported Co/Co3O4 core–shell based nanoparticles prepared by template synthesis of cobalt-pyromellitic acid on silica and subsequent pyrolysis. The optimal catalyst material allows for general and selective hydrogenation of pyridines, quinolines, and other heteroarenes including acridine, phenanthroline, naphthyridine, quinoxaline, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, and indole under comparably mild reaction conditions. In addition, recycling of these Co nanoparticles and their ability for dehydrogenation catalysis are showcased.

Boric acid catalyzed chemoselective reduction of quinolines

Boric acid promoted transfer hydrogenation of substituted quinolines to synthetically versatile 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (1,2,3,4-THQs) was described under mild reaction conditions using a Hantzsch ester as a mild organic hydrogen source. This methodology is practical and efficient, where isolated yields are excellent and reducible functional groups are well tolerated in the N-heteroarene moiety. The reaction parameters and tentative mechanistic pathways are demonstrated by various control experiments and NMR studies. The present work can also be scaled up to obtain gram quantities and the utility of the developed process is illustrated by the transformation of 1,2,3,4-THQs into a series of biologically important molecules including the antiarrhythmic drug nicainoprol.

The Alkylation and Reduction of Heteroarenes with Alcohols Using Photoredox Catalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer via Chlorine Atom Generation

Radical additions to heteroaromatic bases are frequently employed for the rapid synthesis of complex products using C–H functionalization strategies. The conditions that are commonly employed are typically harsh, routinely requiring stoichiometric oxidants and other additives. In search for milder reaction environments allowing late-stage functionalization, we present the alkylation of N-heteroarenes using primary alcohols and ethers as radical precursors, where the corresponding alkyl radical is formed via hydrogen atom transfer process with a photoredox catalyzed chlorine atom generation as HAT agent. Furthermore, we explore the reduction of the heteroarenes in moderate to high yields when using secondary alcohols.

Homogeneous Hydrogenation with a Cobalt/Tetraphosphine Catalyst: A Superior Hydride Donor for Polar Double Bonds and N-Heteroarenes

The development of catalysts based on earth abundant metals in place of noble metals is becoming a central topic of catalysis. We herein report a cobalt/tetraphosphine complex-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of polar unsaturated compounds using an air- and moisture-stable and scalable precatalyst. By activation with potassium hydroxide, this cobalt system shows both high efficiency (up to 24 000 TON and 12 000 h-1 TOF) and excellent chemoselectivities with various aldehydes, ketones, imines, and even N-heteroarenes. The preference for 1,2-reduction over 1,4-reduction makes this method an efficient way to prepare allylic alcohols and amines. Meanwhile, efficient hydrogenation of the challenging N-heteroarenes is also furnished with excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies and control experiments demonstrated that a CoIH complex functions as a strong hydride donor in the catalytic cycle. Each cobalt intermediate on the catalytic cycle was characterized, and a plausible outer-sphere mechanism was proposed. Noteworthy, external inorganic base plays multiple roles in this reaction and functions in almost every step of the catalytic cycle.

General and Chemoselective Copper Oxide Catalysts for Hydrogenation Reactions

Copper oxide catalysts have been prepared by pyrolysis of copper acetate on aluminum oxide. The material resulting from pyrolysis at 800 °C allows for catalytic hydrogenations at low temperature of a variety of unsaturated compounds such as quinolines, alkynes, ketones, imines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as nitroarenes with good activity and selectivity.
