A Highly Efficient Base-Metal Catalyst: Chemoselective Reduction of Imines to Amines Using An Abnormal-NHC-Fe(0) Complex

A base-metal, Fe(0)-catalyzed hydrosilylation of imines to obtain amines is reported here which outperforms its noble-metal congeners with the highest TON of 17000. The catalyst, (aNHC)Fe(CO)4, works under very mild conditions, with extremely low catalyst loading (down to 0.005 mol %), and exhibits excellent chemoselectivity. The facile nature of the imine reduction under mild conditions has been further demonstrated by reducing imines towards expensive commercial amines and biologically important N-alkylated sugars, which are difficult to achieve otherwise. A mechanistic pathway and the source of chemoselectivity for imine hydrosilylation have been proposed on the basis of the well-defined catalyst and isolable intermediates along the catalytic cycle.

NHC-carbene cyclopentadienyl iron based catalyst for a general and efficient hydrosilylation of imines

A general and efficient hydrosilylation of imines catalysed by a well defined NHC-carbene cyclopentadienyl iron complex has been developed. Both aldimines and ketimines are converted to the corresponding amines under mild conditions, and under visible light activation.

Borrowing hydrogen in water and ionic liquids: Iridium-catalyzed alkylation of amines with alcohols

The use of [Cp*IrI2]2 as an efficient catalyst for the alkylation of amines by alcohols in either water or ionic liquid is described. Primary amines are converted into secondary amines, and secondary amines into tertiary amines in the absence of base, and the chemistry has been applied to the synthesis of the analgesic fentanyl. The conversion of primary amines into N-heterocycles by the reaction with diols is also described, along with the N-alkylation of sulfonamides.
