Method for selectively preparing N-monomethylamine compound

The invention discloses a method for selectively preparing an N-monomethylamine compound. The method takes an amine compound, formaldehyde and H2 as reaction raw materials; the raw materials react in a reaction medium in the presence of a compound catalyst at 30 DEG C-180 DEG C for 2h-48h, so as to obtain the N-monomethylamine compound; and the compound catalyst is composed of oxides of at least two of the following metal or oxides of least one of the following metal and at least one metal simple substance: aluminum, copper, nickel, cobalt and iron. According to the method for preparing the N-monomethylamine compound, the conversion ratio and the selectivity of N-monomethylamine are relatively high; the H2 is used as a reducing agent and is clean, cheap and environment-friendly; the catalyst utilized by the method is cheap, simple to prepare and high in catalysis efficiency; and the method has mild preparation and reaction conditions and the catalyst has no corrosiveness, is easy to separate and can be repeatedly used.

Photometric Characterization of the Reductive Amination Scope of the Imine Reductases from Streptomyces tsukubaensis and Streptomyces ipomoeae

Imine reductases (IREDs) have emerged as promising enzymes for the asymmetric synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines starting from carbonyl substrates. Screening the substrate specificity of the reductive amination reaction is usually performed by time-consuming GC analytics. We found two highly active IREDs in our enzyme collection, IR-20 from Streptomyces tsukubaensis and IR-Sip from Streptomyces ipomoeae, that allowed a comprehensive substrate screening with a photometric NADPH assay. We screened 39 carbonyl substrates combined with 17 amines as nucleophiles. Activity data from 663 combinations provided a clear picture about substrate specificity and capabilities in the reductive amination of these enzymes. Besides aliphatic aldehydes, the IREDs accepted various cyclic (C4–C8) and acyclic ketones, preferentially with methylamine. IR-Sip also accepted a range of primary and secondary amines as nucleophiles. In biocatalytic reactions, IR-Sip converted (R)-3-methylcyclohexanone with dimethylamine or pyrrolidine with high diastereoselectivity (>94–96 % de). The nucleophile acceptor spectrum depended on the carbonyl substrate employed. The conversion of well-accepted substrates could also be detected if crude lysates were employed as the enzyme source.

Mild N-Alkylation of Amines with Alcohols Catalyzed by the Acetate Ru(OAc)2(CO)(DiPPF) Complex

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.

Catalytic hydrogenation of amides to amines under mild conditions

Under (not so much) pressure: A general method for the hydrogenation of tertiary and secondary amides to amines with excellent selectivity using a bimetallic Pd-Re catalyst has been developed. The reaction proceeds under low pressure and comparatively low temperature. This method provides organic chemists with a simple and reliable tool for the synthesis of amines. Copyright

Efficient synthesis of tertiary amines from secondary amines

Reliable N-alkylations of secondary amines have been developed. By using DIAD and TPP (or PS-TPP) a variety of secondary amines can be converted to the corresponding tertiary amines in good to excellent yields with diverse alkylhalides; no formation of quaternary amine salts are observed. These protocols are amenable to combinatorial chemistry libraries, and are also useful for the syntheses of secondary amines by an acid lysis of the cleavable tertiary amino resins.

Process for the synthesis of N-methyl-dialkylamines from secundary amines and formaldehyde

Production of N-methyldialkylamines comprises reacting a dialkylamine with 1.5-3 molar equivalents of formaldehyde at 100-200[deg]C; degassing the reaction product; separating the aqueous phase; and distilling the organic phase.
