Catalytic Amination of Phenols with Amines

Given the wide prevalence and ready availability of both phenols and amines, aniline synthesis through direct coupling between these starting materials would be extremely attractive. Herein, we describe a rhodium-catalyzed amination of phenols, which provides concise access to diverse anilines, with water as the sole byproduct. The arenophilic rhodium catalyst facilitates the inherently difficult keto–enol tautomerization of phenols by means of π-coordination, allowing for the subsequent dehydrative condensation with amines. We demonstrate the generality of this redox-neutral catalysis by carrying out reactions of a large array of phenols with various electronic properties and a wide variety of primary and secondary amines. Several examples of late-stage functionalization of structurally complex bioactive molecules, including pharmaceuticals, further illustrate the potential broad utility of the method.

Synthesis of secondary amines by reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes over supported copper catalysts in a flow reactor

Supported copper catalysts were investigated for the one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes in a continuous flow reactor. This process is considered advantageous compared to current traditional methods, which present several drawbacks, such as toxicity of reducing or alkylation agent, lack of monoalkylation selectivity and large amounts of waste produced. Various secondary amines were synthesized in good to excellent yields in the reactions of aliphatic aldehydes with nitroarenes using molecular hydrogen as a reducing agent. It was found that the yield of secondary amine depends on the rate of formation of intermediate imine.

Chelating Bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) Rhodium Complexes: Versatile Catalysts for Hydrosilylation Reactions

NHC-rhodium complexes (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbenes) have been widely used as efficient catalysts for hydrosilylation reactions. However, the substrates were mostly limited to reactive carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) or carbon-carbon multiple bonds. Here, we describe the application of newly-developed chelating bis(tzNHC)-rhodium complexes (tz=1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) for several reductive transformations. With these catalysts, the formal reductive methylation of amines using carbon dioxide, the hydrosilylation of amides and carboxylic acids, and the reductive alkylation of amines using carboxylic acids have been achieved under mild reaction conditions.

Development of a general non-noble metal catalyst for the benign amination of alcohols with amines and ammonia

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

Au/Ag-Mo nano-rods catalyzed reductive coupling of nitrobenzenes and alcohols using glycerol as the hydrogen source

A highly efficient Au/Ag-Mo nano-rods catalyst was prepared for the one-pot synthesis of imine and amine using equal molar ratio of nitrobenzene and alcohol as starting materials, and bio-based glycerol as the hydrogen source. The reaction mechanism of the nitrobenzene reduction, amine and aldehyde coupling, and imine reduction was explored.

Palladium-catalyzed aerobic dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexanone imines to arylamines

Dehydrogenative aromatization of cyclohexanone imines to arylamines has been achieved using a palladium catalyst under aerobic conditions. The reaction is applicable to a variety of imines that are either preformed or generated in situ from cyclohexanone derivatives and aryl or alkylamines.

C-N bond formation catalysed by CuI Bonded to polyaniline nanofiber

Polyaniline nanofiber as a macroligand for the supported cuprous iodide catalyst (CuI-PANInf) has been developed for the coupling of aryl halides (including aryl chlorides) with aliphatic, aromatic, and N(H)-heterocyclic amines under ambient conditions (80 °C for aryl chlorides) has been developed. This simple and efficient method for coupling reactions is highly versatile, convenient, and also the catalyst can be used for several cycles with good-to-excellent yields.

Highly selective N-Alkylation of amines promoted on silica: An efficient and recyclable surface

N-Alkylation of amines suffers from competing over alkylations. At the same time, use of strong base and other harsh conditions greatly limits providing a practical, generalized and selective procedure. Activated silica gel has been found to promote N-alkylations of amines. Here, we studied N-alkylation of amines with various types of alkyl halides, which finally constitute practical, highly selective and eco-friendly conditions for mono- or bis-alkylated amines at ambient temperature with recyclability of silica.

Iron/copper-cocatalyzed ullmann N,O-arylation using FeCl3, CuO, and rac-1,1′-Binaphthyl-2,2′-diol

We have developed an efficient and inexpensive bimetallic catalyst FeCl3, CuO, and rac-BINOL that could promote N,O-arylation of aliphatic, arylamines, and phenols. The cross-coupling reaction conditions have high tolerance of various functional groups. This versatile and efficient iron/copper-cocatalyst can widely be used in the synthesis of the compounds containing (aryl)C-N or (aryl)C-O(aryl) bond. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

A mild and efficient method for copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type N-arylation of aliphatic amines and amino acids

An efficient and general protocol for copper-catalyzed N-arylation of aliphatic amines and amino acids has been developed using aryl iodides under mild conditions (coupling temperature at 25-35°C). For the N-(o-nitrophenyl) amino acid derivatives, subsequent reduction of the nitro group in the presence of tin(II) chloride resulted in 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one derivatives in good yields.
