A Cp*Ir complex bearing a flexible bridging and functional 2,2′-methylenebibenzimidazole ligand was designed, synthesized, and found to be a general and efficient auto-tandem catalyst for the synthesis of N-methyl tertiary amines from imines via transfer hydrogenation/N-methylation with methanol as both hydrogen source and methylating reagent. In the presence of [Cp*Ir(2,2′-CH2BiBzImH2)Cl][Cl], a range of desirable products were obtained in high yields with nearly complete selectivities. The reaction is highly attractive due to the highly atom economy, and minimal consumption of chemicals and energy. Notably, this research exhibits new potential of metal–ligand bifunctional catalysts for the activation of methanol as C1 source for organic synthesis.

Herein, we report the first example of efficient reductive amination of ketones/aldehydes with amines using BH3N(C2H5)3 as a catalyst and a reductant under mild conditions, affording various tertiary and secondary amines in excellent yields. A mechanistic study indicates that BH3N(C2H5)3 plays a dual function role of promoting imine and iminium formation and serving as a reductant in reductive amination. This journal is

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.

Small rhodium nanoparticles (ca. 3.5 nm) were prepared by the decomposition of an organometallic precursor under hydrogen pressure in glycerol using 1-thioglycerol as stabilizer. Full characterization in the solid state [HR-TEM, EDX, XPS] showed a fcc structure for the Rh0/RhI nanoparticles capped with thiolate ligand. Reduction of different functionalities, including nitro groups and imines, was applied to tandem reductive amination of aldehydes with primary and secondary amines, and to the synthesis of N-substituted anilines from nitrobenzene. In addition, thiolate-capped RhNPs could be recovered and reused up to 5 runs without loss of activity nor selectivity.

A general continuous-flow procedure for direct reductive amination of secondary and primary amines with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes as well as ketones is reported. The use of hydrogen gas and commercially available Pt/C as a heterogeneous catalyst is a key. In addition to exhibiting an excellent functional group tolerance, this method allows the fast formation of C?N bonds without production of any hazardous chemical waste. Applications to the synthesis of key intermediates toward active pharmaceutical ingredients (Donepezil and Arformoterol/Tamsulosin) are also described. (Figure presented.).

The acetate complex Ru(OAc)2(DiPPF) (2) obtained from Ru(OAc)2(PPh3)2 (1) and 1,1′-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ferrocene (DiPPF) reacts cleanly with formaldehyde affording Ru(OAc)2(CO)(DiPPF) (3) in high yield. The monocarbonyl complex 3 (0.4-2 mol %) efficiently catalyzes the N-alkylation of primary and secondary alkyl and aromatic amines using primary alcohols ROH (R=Et, nPr, nBu, PhCH2) under mild reaction conditions (30–100 °C) with an alcohol/amine molar ratio of 10-100. Formation of the monohydride RuH(OAc)(CO)(DiPPF) (4) has been observed by reaction of 3 with iPrOH in the presence of NEt3 at RT through an equilibrium reaction.

We report a simple one-pot protocol that affords functionalization of N-CH3 groups in N-methyl-N,N-dialkylamines with high selectivity over N-CH2R or N-CHR2 groups. The radical cation DABCO+?, prepared in situ by oxidation of DABCO with a triarylaminium salt, effects highly selective and contra-thermodynamic C-H abstraction from N-CH3 groups. The intermediates that result react in situ with organometallic nucleophiles in a single pot, affording novel and highly selective homologation of N-CH3 groups. Chemoselectivity, scalability, and recyclability of reagents are demonstrated, and a mechanistic proposal is corroborated by computational and experimental results. The utility of the transformation is demonstrated in the late-stage site-selective functionalization of natural products and pharmaceuticals, allowing rapid derivatization for investigation of structure-activity relationships.

The N-alkylation of amines or ammonia with alcohols is a valuable route for the synthesis of N-alkyl amines. However, as a potentially clean and economic choice for N-alkyl amine synthesis, non-noble metal catalysts with high activity and good selectivity are rarely reported. Normally, they are severely limited due to low activity and poor generality. Herein, a simple NiCuFeOx catalyst was designed and prepared for the N-alkylation of ammonia or amines with alcohol or primary amines. N-alkyl amines with various structures were successfully synthesized in moderate to excellent yields in the absence of organic ligands and bases. Typically, primary amines could be efficiently transformed into secondary amines and N-heterocyclic compounds, and secondary amines could be N-alkylated to synthesize tertiary amines. Note that primary and secondary amines could be produced through a one-pot reaction of ammonia and alcohols. In addition to excellent catalytic performance, the catalyst itself possesses outstanding superiority, that is, it is air and moisture stable. Moreover, the magnetic property of this catalyst makes it easily separable from the reaction mixture and it could be recovered and reused for several runs without obvious deactivation. Copyright
