The kinetics of quinuclidine displacement of BH3 from a wide range of Lewis base borane adducts have been measured. Parameterization of these rates has enabled the development of a nucleofugality scale (NFB), shown to quantify and predict the leaving group ability of a range of other Lewis bases. Additivity observed across a number of series R′3-nRnX (X = P, N; R′ = aryl, alkyl) has allowed the formulation of related substituent parameters (nfPB, nfAB), providing a means of calculating NFB values for a range of Lewis bases that extends far beyond those experimentally derived. The utility of the nucleofugality parameter is explored by the correlation of the substituent parameter nfPB with the hydrolyses rates of a series of alkyl and aryl MIDA boronates under neutral conditions. This has allowed the identification of MIDA boronates with heteroatoms proximal to the reacting center, showing unusual kinetic lability or stability to hydrolysis.

Hydroboration of amides is a useful synthetic strategy to access the corresponding amines. In this contribution, it was found that the supported lanthanum benzyl material La(CH2C6H4NMe2-o)3@SBA-15 was highly active for the hydroboration of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides to amines with pinacolborane. These reactions selectively produced target amines and showed good tolerance for functional groups such as -NO2, -halogen, and -CN, as well as heteroatoms such as S and O. This reduction procedure exhibited the recyclable and reusable property of heterogeneous catalysts and was applicable to gram-scale synthesis. The reaction mechanisms were proposed based on some control experiments and the previous literature. This is the first example of hydroborative reduction of amides to amines mediated by heterogeneous catalysts.

Bis-NHC stabilized germyliumylidenes [RGe(NHC)2]+ are typically Lewis basic (LB) in nature, owing to their lone pair and coordination of two NHCs to the vacant p-orbitals of the germanium center. However, they can also show Lewis acidity (LA) via Ge?CNHC σ* orbital. Utilizing this unique electronic feature, we report the first example of bis-NHC-stabilized germyliumylidene [MesTerGe(NHC)2]Cl (1), (MesTer=2,6-(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)2C6H3; NHC= IMe4=1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) catalyzed reduction of CO2 with amines and arylsilane, which proceeds via its Lewis basic nature. In contrast, the Lewis acid nature of 1 is utilized in the catalyzed hydroboration and cyanosilylation of carbonyls, thus highlighting the versatile ambiphilic nature of bis-NHC stabilized germyliumylidenes.

The development of benign methylation reactions utilizing CO2 as a one-carbon building block would enable a more sustainable chemical industry. Electrochemical CO2 reduction has been extensively studied, but its application for reductive methylation reactions remains out of the scope of current electrocatalysis. Here, we report the first electrochemical reductive N-methylation reaction with CO2 and demonstrate its compatibility with amines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazine. Catalyzed by cobalt phthalocyanine molecules supported on carbon nanotubes, the N-methylation reaction proceeds in aqueous media via the chemical condensation of an electrophilic carbon intermediate, proposed to be adsorbed or near-electrode formaldehyde formed from the four-electron reduction of CO2, with nucleophilic nitrogenous reactants and subsequent reduction. By comparing various amines, we discover that the nucleophilicity of the amine reactant is a descriptor for the C-N coupling efficacy. We extend the scope of the reaction to be compatible with cheap and abundant nitro-compounds by developing a cascade reduction process in which CO2 and nitro-compounds are reduced concurrently to yield N-methylamines with high monomethylation selectivity via the overall transfer of 12 electrons and 12 protons.

The first acceptor-free heavier germanium analogue of an acylium ion, [RGe(O)(NHC)2]X (R = MesTer = 2,6-(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)2C6H3; NHC = IMe4 = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene; X = (Cl or BArF = {(3,5-(CF3)2C6H5)4B}), was isolated by reacting [RGe(NHC)2]X with N2O. Conversion of the germa-acylium ion to the first solely donor-stabilized germanium ester [(NHC)RGe(O)(OSiPh3)] and corresponding heavier analogues ([RGe(S)(NHC)2]X and [RGe(Se)(NHC)2]X) demonstrated its classical acylium-like behavior. The polarized terminal GeO bond in the germa-acylium ion was utilized to activate CO2 and silane, with the former found to be an example of reversible activation of CO2, thus mimicking the behavior of transition metal oxides. Furthermore, its transition-metal-like nature is demonstrated as it was found to be an active catalyst in both CO2 hydrosilylation and reductive N-functionalization of amines using CO2 as the C1 source. Mechanistic studies were undertaken both experimentally and computationally, which revealed that the reaction proceeds via an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) siloxygermylene [(NHC)RGe(OSiHPh2)].

We describe herein an efficient organocatalytic system for the selective N-methylation and N-formylation of amines with carbon dioxide (CO2) as a sustainable C1 feedstock and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as a cost-effectvie reducing reagent. High-yielding N-methylation products are obtained with low catalyst loading (1%) of DBU. Selective N-formylation of amines is achieved using the same catalytic system at a lower reaction temperature.

Methylated amines are highly important for a variety of pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications. Existing routes for their formation result in the production of large amounts of waste or require high reaction temperatures, both of which impact the ecological and economical footprint of the methodologies. Herein, we report the ruthenium-catalyzed reductive methylation of a range of aliphatic amines, using paraformaldehyde as both substrate and hydrogen source, in combination with water. This reaction proceeds under mild aqueous reaction conditions. Additionally the use of a secondary phase for catalyst retention and recycling has been investigated with promising results.
