Hydroborative reduction of amides to amines mediated by La(CH2C6H4NMe2-: O)3

The deoxygenative reduction of amides to amines is a great challenge for resonance-stabilized carboxamide moieties, although this synthetic strategy is an attractive approach to access the corresponding amines. La(CH2C6H4NMe2-o)3, a simple and easily accessible lanthanide complex, was found to be highly efficient not only for secondary and tertiary amide reduction, but also for the most challenging primary reduction with pinacolborane. This protocol exhibited good tolerance for many functional groups and heteroatoms, and could be applied to gram-scale synthesis. The active species in this catalytic cycle was likely a lanthanide hydride.

Reduction of Amides to Amines with Pinacolborane Catalyzed by Heterogeneous Lanthanum Catalyst La(CH2C6H4NMe2- o)3@SBA-15

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.

Homoleptic Bis(trimethylsilyl)amides of Yttrium Complexes Catalyzed Hydroboration Reduction of Amides to Amines

Homoleptic lanthanide complex Y[N(TMS)2]3 is an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the hydroboration reduction of secondary amides and tertiary amides to corresponding amines. A series of amides containing different functional groups such as cyano, nitro, and vinyl groups were found to be well-tolerated. This transformation has also been nicely applied to the synthesis of indoles and piribedil. Detailed isotopic labeling experiments, control experiments, and kinetic studies provided cumulative evidence to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Hydrosilylative Reduction of Tertiary Amides to Amines Catalyzed by N-(Phosphinoaryl)anilido Complexes of Iron and Cobalt

The synthesis and structural characterization of low-coordinate Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes supported by the monoanionic P,N-ligand N-(2-dicyclohexylphosphinophenyl)-2,6-diisopropylanilide are described. A three-coordinate (P,N)Fe-hexamethyldisilazide complex (2), and four-coordinate (P,N)Fe- (3-Fe) and (P,N)Co-alkyl (3-Co) complexes were evaluated as pre-catalysts for the hydrosilylative reduction of amides with PhSiH3 (5 mol % pre-catalyst, 1 equiv. PhSiH3, 80 °C, 1–24 h). The Fe complex 2 proved to be more broadly effective for the reduction of a variety of tertiary amide substrates, and was shown to mediate the reduction of N,N-dibenzylbenzamide at a loading of 1 mol %, to achieve near quantitative formation of tribenzylamine in 1 h (80 °C). Complex 2 also proved effective for the hydrosilylation of tertiary amides under ambient conditions (5 mol % Fe, 24 h), which is a unique example of room temperature amide hydrosilylation mediated by an Fe catalyst without the need for photochemical activation. Given the widespread use of amide reduction protocols in synthesis, the development of efficient Fe-based catalysts that operate under mild conditions is an important target.

A Manganese Pre-Catalyst: Mild Reduction of Amides, Ketones, Aldehydes, and Esters

A new (N-phosphinoamidinate)manganese complex is shown to be a useful pre-catalyst for the hydrosilative reduction of carbonyl compounds, and in most cases at room temperature. The Mn-catalyzed reduction of tertiary amides to tertiary amines, with a useful scope, is demonstrated for the first time by use of this catalyst, and is competitive with the most effective transition-metal catalysts known for such transformations. Ketones, aldehydes, and esters were also successfully reduced under mild conditions by using this new Mn catalyst.
