Reductive Alkylation of Azides and Nitroarenes with Alcohols: A Selective Route to Mono- And Dialkylated Amines

Herein, we demonstrated an efficient protocol for reductive alkylation of azides/nitro compounds via a borrowing hydrogen (BH) method. By following this protocol, selective mono- and dialkylated amines were obtained under mild and solvent-free conditions. A series of control experiments and deuterium-labeling experiments were performed to understand this catalytic process. Mechanistic studies suggested that the Ir(III)-H was the active intermediate in this reaction. KIE study revealed that the breaking of the C-H bond of alcohol might be the rate-limiting step. Notably, this solvent-free strategy disclosed a high TON of around 5600. Based on kinetic studies and control experiments, a metal-ligand cooperative mechanism was proposed.

Simplified preparation of a graphene-co-shelled Ni/NiO@C nano-catalyst and its application in theN-dimethylation synthesis of amines under mild conditions

The development of Earth-abundant, reusable and non-toxic heterogeneous catalysts to be applied in the pharmaceutical industry for bio-active relevant compound synthesis remains an important goal of general chemical research.N-methylated compounds, as one of the most essential bioactive compounds, have been widely used in the fine and bulk chemical industries for the production of high-value chemicals. Herein, an environmentally friendly and simplified method for the preparation of graphene encapsulated Ni/NiO nanoalloy catalysts (Ni/NiO@C) was developed for the first time, for the highly selective synthesis ofN-methylated compounds using various functional amines and aldehydes under easy to handle, and industrially applicable conditions. A large number of primary and secondary amines (more than 70 examples) could be converted to the correspondingN,N-dimethylamines with the participation of different functional aldehydes, with an average yield of over 95%. A gram-scale synthesis also demonstrated a similar yield when compared with the benchmark test. In addition, it was further proved that the catalyst could easily be recycled because of its intrinsic magnetism and reused up to 10 times without losing its activity and selectivity. Also, for the first time, the tandem synthesis ofN,N-dimethylamine products in a one-pot process, using only a single earth-abundant metal catalyst, whose activity and selectivity were more than 99% and 94%, respectively, for all tested substrates, was developed. Overall, the advantages of this newly developed method include operational simplicity, high stability, easy recyclability, cost-effectiveness of the catalyst, and good functional group compatibility for the synthesis ofN-methylation products as well as the industrially applicable tandem synthesis process.

Consecutive β,β′-Selective C(sp3)?H Silylation of Tertiary Amines with Dihydrosilanes Catalyzed by B(C6F5)3

Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane has been found to catalyze the two-fold C(sp3)?H silylation of various trialkylamine derivatives with dihydrosilanes, furnishing the corresponding 4-silapiperidines in decent yields. The multi-step reaction cascade involves amine-to-enamine dehydrogenation at two alkyl residues and two electrophilic silylation reactions of those enamines, one inter- and one intramolecular.

Highly Efficient and Selective N-Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols Catalyzed by in Situ Rehydrated Titanium Hydroxide

Catalytic N-alkylation of amines by alcohols to produce desired amines is an important catalytic reaction in industry. Various noble-metal-based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts have been reported for this process. The development of cheap non-noble-metal heterogeneous catalysts for the N-alkylation reaction would be highly desirable. Hereby, we propose the N-alkylation of amines by alcohols over a cheap and efficient heterogeneous catalyst-titanium hydroxide. This catalyst provides a selectivity higher than 90% to secondary amines for functionalized aromatic and aliphatic alcohols and amines with high catalytic activity and stability. Mild Br?nsted acidity formed by the continuous rehydration of Lewis acidity excludes the side reactions and deactivation by adsorbed species. The mechanism of the reaction involves dehydration of alcohols to ethers with subsequent C-O bond cleavage by amine with the formation of secondary amine and recovery of alcohol.

Direct benzylation of amines with benzylic alcohols catalyzed by palladium/phosphine-borane catalyst system

Direct catalytic benzylation of amines with benzylic alcohols to give benzylamines has been newly developed by using palladium/phosphine-borane catalyst system. In this catalytic reaction, the linking between both phosphine and borane moieties in the ligand is very important. Hydroxy group of benzylic alcohols is activated by Lewis acidic borane to form a benzylpalladium intermediate which is attacked by amines to give benzylamine products.

Room-Temperature Benzylic Alkylation of Benzylic Carbonates: Improvement of Palladium Catalyst and Mechanistic Study

The palladium catalyst for the nucleophilic substitution of benzyl carbonates was improved by using 1,1′-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ferrocene (DiPrPF) as the ligand. The [Pd(η3-C3H5)(cod)]BF4-DiPrPF catalyst allows the benzylic substitution with soft carbanions to proceed even at 30 °C, affording the desired products in high yields (up to 99% yield). Thermally unstable pyridylmethyl esters are employable as the electrophilic substrates for the benzylic alkylation with the improved catalyst. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanism of the catalytic benzylic alkylation by means of DiPrPF ligand. The palladium(0) complex bearing DiPrPF activates the benzylic C-O bond to form the (benzyl)palladium(II) intermediate at room temperature. The coordination mode of the benzyl ligand would be equilibrium between the η1- and η3-manner. The nucleophile would preferentially react with the η3-benzyl ligand to give the desired product.

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.

Iridium-Catalyzed Alkylation of Amine and Nitrobenzene with Alcohol to Tertiary Amine under Base- and Solvent-Free Conditions

Herein, an efficient and green method for the selective synthesis of tertiary amines has been developed that involves iridium-catalyzed alkylation of various primary amines with aromatic or aliphatic alcohols. Notably, the catalytic protocol enables this transformation in the absence of additional base and solvent. Furthermore, the alkylation of nitrobenzene with primary alcohol to tertiary amine has also been achieved by the same catalytic system. Deuterium-labeling experiments and a series of control experiments were conducted, and the results suggested that an intermolecular borrowing hydrogen pathway might exist in the alkylation process.

Amide Effects in C?H Activation: Noncovalent Interactions with L-Shaped Ligand for meta Borylation of Aromatic Amides

A new concept for the meta-selective borylation of aromatic amides is described. It has been demonstrated that while esters gave para borylations, amides lead to meta borylations. For achieving high meta selectivity, an L-shaped bifunctional ligand has been employed and engages in an O???K noncovalent interaction with the oxygen atom of the moderately distorted amide carbonyl group. This interaction provides exceptional control for meta C?H activation/borylation.

Ruthenium-catalyzed deaminative redistribution of primary and secondary amines

A ruthenium-hydride complex, [Ru(H)(Cl)(CO)(PCy3)2], was found to be active in the highly selective redistribution of primary and secondary amines bearing an α-hydrogen atom. This new deaminative coupling of amines enables the highly selective synthesis of secondary amines from primary amines and of tertiary amines from secondary amines with the evolution of ammonia. A preliminary mechanistic view of this novel reaction based on catalytic experiments using NMR methods confirms the synthetic observations.
