The selective synthesis of imines from biomass-derived chemicals over heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts is of great importance for organic transformation. Herein, non-noble heterogeneous nitrogen-doped carbon supported Ni catalysts (abbreviated as Ni/CN-MgO-T, whereTrepresents the pyrolysis temperature) have been facilely prepared from the simple pyrolysis of Ni precursors and biomass, and Ni/CN-MgO-600 with the smallest size of Ni nanoparticles demonstrated the highest catalytic activity. The reductive coupling of nitroarenes and carbonyl compounds could be performed under mild conditions (80 °C, and 10 bar H2), affording structurally-diverse imines with high to excellent yields (84.2-98.1%). Thanks to the mild reaction conditions, the developed method showed good tolerance to other functional groups such as nitriles, halogen and vinyl groups.

A straightforward and selective reduction of nitroarenes with various alcohols was efficiently developed using an iron catalyst via a hydrogen transfer methodology. This protocol led specifically to imines in 30-91% yields, with a good functional group tolerance. Noticeably, starting from o-nitroaniline derivatives, in the presence of alcohols, benzimidazoles can be obtained in 64-72% yields when the reaction was performed with an additional oxidant, DDQ, and quinoxalines were prepared from 1,2-diols in 28-96% yields. This methodology, unprecedented at iron for imines, also provides a sustainable alternative for the preparation of quinoxalines and benzimidazoles.

One-pot tandem synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines is regarded as an effective, economic and green approach under mild conditions. In this work, Au nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on MIL-101 (Au/MIL-101) were demonstrated as highly active and selective bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst for production of various imine derivatives with excellent yields, via amine-alcohol cross-coupling reaction at 343 K in an open flask under an Ar atmosphere. Various physicochemical techniques, including inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption, were used to characterize of the Au/MIL-101 catalyst. The obtained bifunctional catalyst is highly active and selective towards one-pot imine formation and exhibited the highest TOF (30.15-51.47 h?1) among all the ever-reported MOF-supported Au catalysts. The reaction mechanism of the imine formation from alcohol and amine over Au/MIL-101 catalyst was proposed. Mechanism experiment results demonstrate that Au NPs highly effective in activating oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde while the Lewis acid sites on MIL-101 catalyzed the second condensation step without interfering with the oxidation step. As a result, the excellent catalytic performance of Au/MIL-101 can be ascribed to the synergistic effect between Au NPs with Lewis acid sites in MIL-101.

High-surface-area mesoporous CeO2 (hsmCeO2) was prepared by a facile organic-template-induced homogeneous precipitation process and showed excellent catalytic activity in imine synthesis in the absence of base from primary alcohols and amines in air atmosphere at low temperature. For comparison, ordinary CeO2 and hsmCeO2 after different thermal treatments were also investigated. XRD, N2 physisorption, UV-Raman, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, O2 temperature-programmed desorption, EPR spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to unravel the structural and redox properties. The hsmCeO2 calcined at 400 °C shows the highest specific surface area (158 m2 g?1), the highest fraction of surface coordinatively unsaturated Ce3+ ions (18.2 %), and the highest concentration of reactive oxygen vacancies (2.4×1015 spins g?1). In the model reaction of oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol and aniline, such an exceptional redox property of the hsmCeO2 catalyst can boost benzylideneaniline formation (2.75 and 5.55 mmol (Formula presented.) h?1 based on >99 % yield at 60 and 80 °C, respectively) in air with no base additives. It can also work effectively at a temperature of 30 °C and in gram-scale synthesis. These are among the best results for all benchmark ceria catalysts in the literature. Moreover, the hsmCeO2 catalyst shows a wide scope towards primary alcohols and amines with good to excellent yield of imines. The influence of reaction parameters, the reusability of the catalyst, and the reaction mechanism were investigated.

Switchable imine and amine synthesis catalyzed by a tripodal ligand-supported well-defined cobalt complex is presented herein. A large variety of primary alcohols and amines were selectively converted to imines or amines in good to excellent yields. It is discovered that the base plays a crucial role on the selectivity. A catalytic amount of base leads to the imine formation, while an excess loading of base results in the amine product. This strategy on product selectivity also strongly depends on the organometallic catalysts in use. We expect that the present study could provide useful insights toward selective organic synthesis and catalyst design.

Direct oxidative coupling of alcohols with amines using a non-precious metal oxide catalyst under mild conditions is highly desirable for imine synthesis. In this work, a mesoporous Mn1ZrxOysolid solution catalyst prepared by a co-precipitation method showed excellent catalytic performance in imine synthesis from primary alcohols and amines without base additives in an air atmosphere. XRD, N2physisorption, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, EPR and XPS were comprehensively used to unravel its structural, redox and amphoteric properties that closely depended on the interaction between MnOyand ZrO2with a variable Zr ratio. The Mn1Zr0.5Oycatalyst presented the highest fractions of Mn3+ions and reactive oxygen species on the surface, and the highest concentrations of acidic-basic sites, which were disclosed to play important roles in activating alcohols and molecular O2in the rate-determining step. In the model reaction of oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol with aniline, such enhanced features of the Mn1Zr0.5Oycatalyst can promote the intrinsic catalytic activity (iTOF of 1.87 h?1) and boost benzylideneaniline formation (5.56 mmol gcat.?1h?1) based on a >99% yield at 80 °C respectively at a fast response. It can also work effectively at a room temperature of 30 °C, as well as for the gram-grade synthesis. This is one of the best results among all the MnOy-based catalysts in the literature. Moreover, this catalyst showed good stability and a wide substrate scope with good to excellent yields of imines.

Four air-stable cyclometalated half-sandwich iridium complexes 1-4 with C,N-donor Schiff base ligands were prepared through C-H activation in moderate-to-good yields. These complexes have been well characterized, and their exact structure was elaborated on by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The iridium(III) complexes 1-4 showed good catalytic activity in the imine synthesis under open-flask conditions (air as the oxidant) from primary amine oxidative homocoupling, secondary amine dehydrogenation, and the cross-coupling reaction of amine and alcohol. Substituents bonded on the ligands of the iridium complexes displayed little effect on the catalytic efficiency. The stability and good catalytic efficiency of the iridium catalysts, mild reaction conditions, and substrate universality showed their potential application in industrial production.
