Transition metal catalysis that utilizes N-heterocyclic carbenes as noninnocent ligands in promoting transformations has not been well studied. We report here a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand-promoted nitro deoxygenative hydroboration with cost-effective chromium catalysis. Using 1 mol % of CAAC-Cr precatalyst, the addition of HBpin to nitro scaffolds leads to deoxygenation, allowing for the retention of various reducible functionalities and the compatibility of sensitive groups toward hydroboration, thereby providing a mild, chemoselective, and facile strategy to form anilines, as well as heteroaryl and aliphatic amine derivatives, with broad scope and particularly high turnover numbers (up to 1.8 × 106). Mechanistic studies, based on theoretical calculations, indicate that the CAAC ligand plays an important role in promoting polarity reversal of hydride of HBpin; it serves as an H-shuttle to facilitate deoxygenative hydroboration. The preparation of several commercially available pharmaceuticals by means of this strategy highlights its potential application in medicinal chemistry.

A chemoselective method for the catalytic hydrosilylation of nitriles to either the imine or amine oxidation level is reported. The chemoselectivity is controlled by the hydrosilane used. The usefulness of the nitrile-to-amine reduction is demonstrated for a diverse set of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles, and the amines are easily isolated after hydrolysis as their hydrochloride salts. This exhaustive nitrile reduction proceeds at room temperature.

1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), when associated with titanium(IV) isopropoxide, provide two convenient systems for the reduction of nitriles into the corresponding primary amines. Kinetics of the two systems have been studied by 1H NMR and demonstrated that reduction with PMHS occurs faster than with TMDS. These two titanium-based systems reduce both aromatic and aliphatic nitriles in the presence of Br, CC, NO2, OH, and cyclopropyl-ring. In the case of cyclopropyl-nitriles, the formation of secondary amines, which come from an intermolecular reductive alkylation reaction was observed. This result was exploited for the reduction of dinitriles, which led, in one-step, to azepane, piperidine, pyrrolidine, and azetidine derivatives through an intramolecular reductive alkylation reaction.
