Intramolecular hydroarylation-redox cross-dehydrogenative coupling ofN-propargylanilines with phosphite diesters proceeded in the presence of Cu(i)-catalysts (20 mol%) to selectively give 2-phosphono-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in good yields with 100% atomic utilization. P-H and two C-H bonds are activated at once and these hydrogen atoms are trapped by a propargylic triple bond in the molecule.

Given the wide prevalence and ready availability of both phenols and amines, aniline synthesis through direct coupling between these starting materials would be extremely attractive. Herein, we describe a rhodium-catalyzed amination of phenols, which provides concise access to diverse anilines, with water as the sole byproduct. The arenophilic rhodium catalyst facilitates the inherently difficult keto–enol tautomerization of phenols by means of π-coordination, allowing for the subsequent dehydrative condensation with amines. We demonstrate the generality of this redox-neutral catalysis by carrying out reactions of a large array of phenols with various electronic properties and a wide variety of primary and secondary amines. Several examples of late-stage functionalization of structurally complex bioactive molecules, including pharmaceuticals, further illustrate the potential broad utility of the method.

Base-metal catalystsCo1,Co2andCo3were synthesized from designed pincer ligandsL1,L2andL3having NNN donor atoms respectively.Co1,Co2andCo3were characterized by IR, UV-Vis. and ESI-MS spectroscopic studies. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were investigated to authenticate the molecular structures ofCo1andCo3. CatalystsCo1,Co2andCo3were utilized to study the dehydrogenative activation of alcohols forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines. Under optimized reaction conditions, a broad range of substrates including alcohols, anilines and ketones were exploited. A series of control experiments forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines were examined to understand the reaction pathway. ESI-MS spectral studies were investigated to characterize cobalt-alkoxide and cobalt-hydride intermediates. Reduction of styrene by evolved hydrogen gas during the reaction was investigated to authenticate the dehydrogenative nature of the catalysts. Probable reaction pathways were proposed forN-alkylation of amines, α-alkylation of ketones and synthesis of quinolines on the basis of control experiments and detection of reaction intermediates.

The development of active and selective non-noble metal-based catalysts for the chemoselective reduction of nitro compounds in aquo media under mild conditions is an attractive research area. Herein, the synthesis of subnanometric and stable cobalt nanoclusters, covered by N-doped carbon layers as core-shell (Co@NC-800), for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes is reported. TheCo@NC-800catalyst was prepared by the pyrolysis of the Co(tpy)2complex impregnated on Vulcan carbon. In fact, the use of a molecular complex based on six N-Co bonds drives the formation of a well-defined and distributed cobalt core-shell nanocluster covered by N-doped carbon layers. In order to elucidate its nature, it has been fully characterized by using several advanced techniques. In addition, this as-prepared catalyst showed high activity, chemoselectivity and stability toward the reduction of nitro compounds with H2and under mild reaction conditions; water was used as a green solvent, improving the previous results based on cobalt catalysts. Moreover, theCo@NC-800catalyst is also active and selective for the one-pot synthesis of secondary aryl amines and isoindolinones through the reductive amination of nitroarenes. Finally, based on diffraction and spectroscopic studies, metallic cobalt nanoclusters with surface CoNxpatches have been proposed as the active phase in theCo@NC-800material.

A novel strategy involving a popping process and carbothermal reduction was developed to create a kind of stable nickel catalyst (Ni-NC). The popping process of the mixture being composed of carbon nitride (C3N4) and nickel nitrate decomposed the nickel nitrate into nickel (oxide) nanoparticles that afterwards functioned as catalyst to grow N-containing carbon nanotubes with carbon nitride as N-containing carbon source. Finally, the nickel catalyst possessed a special structure of nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanotubes. This special structure is helpful to prevent nickel nanoparticles from being oxidized in air for months so that the catalyst exhibits high stability in air atmosphere. As a practical application, this encapsulated nickel catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability in one-pot cascade reaction involving nitro-reduction and reductive amination of nitroarenes.

To develop an efficient base-metal reductive amination catalyst for synthesis of secondary amines is still a major challenge. In this study, an efficient N-doped graphene sheet-coated cobalt catalyst (Co@CN-800) was developed through a simple pyrolysis process, which could gave 99.5 % yield of N-benzylaniline by one-pot reductive amination of nitrobenzene with benzaldehyde during at least 5 cycles. Catalyst characterization and control experiments confirmed that the robust catalytic performance of the catalyst is probably due to the synergy effect of in situ generated Co-Nx encapsulated in N?doped graphene layer and appropriate meso-pore structure. Additionally, The substrate adaptability of the catalyst was proved since a variety of corresponding secondary amines were smoothly obtained under relatively mild conditions, which makes the secondary amine synthesis strategy based on Co@CN-800 shows excellent application prospect.

A tetraarylpyrrole-based phosphine ligand L1 in combination with Pd(dba)2 provided a catalyst for the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction. A variety of amines were rapidly coupled with aryl chlorides at a Pd loading of 0.5 mol%. The selective monoarylation of aliphatic primary amines was achieved in the presence of 0.8 equiv. water. Comparison experiments were also conducted, which revealed that the catalytic activity of L1 is superior to representative phosphine ligands in the Pd-catalyzed C?N coupling of various amines.

A versatile metal- and base-free direct reductive amination of aldehydes with amines using formic acid as a reductant under the catalysis of inexpensive BF3·Et2O has been developed. A wide range of primary and secondary amines and diversely substituted aldehydes are compatible with this transformation, allowing facile access to various secondary and tertiary amines in high yields with wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, the method is convenient for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds and preparation of commercialized drug molecules and biologically relevant N-heterocycles. The procedure has the advantages of simple operation and workup and easy scale-up, and does not require dry conditions, an inert atmosphere or a water scavenger. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of imine activation by BF3and hydride transfer from formic acid.

Iron-catalyzed oxidative amination of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds with anilines bearing electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) or electron-donating groups (EDGs) is realized based on simple variations of N-substituents on imidazolium cations in novel ionic Fe(III) complexes. The structural modification of the imidazolium cation resulted in regulation of the redox potential and the catalytic performance of the iron metal center. Using DTBP as oxidant, [HItBu][FeBr4] showed the highest catalytic activity for anilines bearing EWGs, while [HIPym][FeBr4] was more efficient for EDG-substituted anilines. This work provides alternative access to benzylamines with the advantages of both a wide substrate scope and iron catalysis.
