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.

A non-noble heterogeneous catalyst-a Co, N and C composite encapsulated carbon nanotube grown in situ on the surface of activated carbon (Co-N-C/CNT@AC)-was fabricated via the pyrolysis-reduction process. Co-N-C/CNT@AC catalyzed the reductive coupling of structurally diverse nitroarenes and alcohols to imines and secondary amines under exogenous base- and solvent-free conditions. BET, TEM, SEM, XRD and XPS characterization showed that the exceptional catalytic property of Co-N-C/CNT@AC could be explained by its nanostructure, Co-N and basic N species. Our protocol had advantages of low cost, environment-friendliness, and good applicability. Furthermore, a reaction route of nitroarenes, amines and alcohols as the starting materials was proposed to improve the atom economy of the reductive coupling of nitroarenes with alcohols.

The syntheses of a series of 1-phenyl-5-phosphino 1,2,3-triazoles are disclosed, within which, the phosphorus atom (at the 5-position of a triazole) is appended by one, two or three triazole motifs, and the valency of the phosphorus(III) atom is completed by two, one or zero ancillary (phenyl or cyclohexyl) groups respectively. This series of phosphines was compared with tricyclohexylphosphine and triphenylphosphine to study the effect of increasing the number of triazoles appended to the central phosphorus atom from zero to three triazoles. Gold(I) chloride complexes of the synthesised ligands were prepared and analysed by techniques including single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination. Gold(I) complexes were also prepared from 1-(2,6-dimethoxy)-phenyl-5-dicyclohexyl-phosphino 1,2,3-triazole and 1-(2,6-dimethoxy)-phenyl-5-diphenyl-phosphino 1,2,3-triazole ligands. The crystal structures thus obtained were examined using the SambVca (2.0) web tool and percentage buried volumes determined. The effectiveness of these gold(I) chloride complexes to serve as precatalysts for alkyne hydration were assessed. Furthermore, the regioselectivity of hydration of but-1-yne-1,4-diyldibenzene was probed.
