Selective dehydrogenative synthesis of imines from a variety of alcohols and amines was developed by using the ruthenium complex [RuCl2(dppea)2] (6 a: dppea=2-diphenylphosphino-ethylamine) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Zn(OCOCF3)2 and KOtBu, whereas the selective dehydrogenative formation of amides from the same sources was achieved by using another ruthenium complex, [RuCl2{(S)-dppmp}2] [6 d: (S)-dppmp=(S)-2-((diphenylphosphenyl)methyl)pyrrolidine], in the presence of catalytic amounts of Zn(OCOCF3)2 and potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KHMDS). Our previously reported ruthenium complex, [Ru(OCOCF3)2(dppea)2] (8 a), was the catalyst precursor for the imine synthesis, whereas [Ru(OCOCF3)2{(S)-dppmp}2] (8 d), which was derived from the treatment of 6 d with Zn(OCOCF3)2 and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, was the pre-catalyst for the amide formation. Control experiments revealed that the zinc salt functioned as a reagent for replacing chloride anions with trifluoroacetate anions. Plausible mechanisms for both selective dehydrogenative coupling reactions are proposed based on a time-course study, Hammett plot, and deuterium-labeling experiments.
Ionic liquid effects on a multistep process. Increased product formation due to enhancement of all steps

The reaction of a series of substituted benzaldehydes with hexylamine was examined in acetonitrile and an ionic liquid. In acetonitrile, as the electron withdrawing nature of the substituent increases, the overall addition-elimination process becomes fast
Catalytic coupling of nitriles with amines to selectively form imines under mild hydrogen pressure

Imines are selectively formed by coupling of nitriles and amines under mild hydrogen pressure. The reaction is catalyzed by a bipyridine-based PNN Ru(ii) pincer complex and proceeds under mild, neutral conditions at 4 bar of H 2.
