The transformation reaction of 1-(2-aminophenyl)propan-2-ol was studied at 200 °C under argon pressure. A range of catalysts was applied including carbon, titania and zeolite supported Ru, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ir, as well as metal free zeolites. The highest conversion was obtained with H-Beta-150 and H-Beta-25 and the highest selectivity to 2-methylindoline was achieved with 0.3 % Ir-H-Beta-150 and H-Beta-25. Although the selectivity to 2-methylindole was high for all catalysts, formation of the final product 2-methylindoline only took place over the most acidic catalysts.

The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic properties of bimetallic cobalt-rhodium nanoparticles of defined Co:Rh ratios immobilized in an imidazolium-based supported ionic liquid phase (CoxRh100?x@SILP) are described. Following an organometallic approach, precise control of the Co:Rh ratios is accomplished. Electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirm the formation of small, well-dispersed, and homogeneously alloyed zero-valent bimetallic nanoparticles in all investigated materials. Benzylideneacetone and various bicyclic heteroaromatics are used as chemical probes to investigate the hydrogenation performances of the CoxRh100?x@SILP materials. The Co:Rh ratio of the nanoparticles is found to have a critical influence on observed activity and selectivity, with clear synergistic effects arising from the combination of the noble metal and its 3d congener. In particular, the ability of CoxRh100?x@SILP catalysts to hydrogenate 6-membered aromatic rings is found to experience a remarkable sharp switch in a narrow composition range between Co25Rh75 (full ring hydrogenation) and Co30Rh70 (no ring hydrogenation).

Under the guidance of the known mechanism of the hydrogenation of indoles and transfer hydrogenation with tetrahydroxydiboron (B2(OH)4), Pd/C catalyzed transfer hydrogenation ofN-H indoles with trifluoroethanol and tetrahydroxydiborane as the hydrogen source has been developed. This provides an efficient strategy and catalytic system for the reduction of un-activatedN-H indoles, andN-H indolines are obtained with good to excellent yields. In addition, a series of the isotopic labelling experiments were carried out to probe the mechanism.

The indole scaffold is a ubiquitous and useful substructure, and extensive investigations have been conducted to construct the indole framework and/or realize indole modification. Nevertheless, the direct selective functionalization on the benzenoid core must overcome the high activity of the C-3 position and still remains highly challenging. Herein, a palladium-catalyzed direct and specific C-7 acylation of indolines in the presence of an easily removed directing group was developed. This strategy usually is considered as a practical strategy for the preparation of acylated indoles because indoline can be easily converted to indole under oxidation conditions. In particular, our strategy greatly improved the alkacylation yield of indolines for which only an unsatisfactory yield could be achieved in the previous studies. Furthermore, the reaction can be scaled up to gram level in the standard reaction conditions with a much lower palladium loading (1 mol %).

Palladium catalysts supported on acidic fluorinated magnesium hydroxide Pd/MgF2-x(OH)x were prepared through precipitation or impregnation methods. Applications to the hydrogenation of various aldimines and ketimines resulted in good catalytic activities at mild temperatures using one atmosphere of hydrogen. Quinolines, pyridines and other N-heterocycles were successfully hydrogenated at higher temperature and hydrogen pressure using low palladium loadings and without the use of any acid additive. Such reactivity trend confirmed the positive effect of the Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites from the fluorinated magnesium hydroxide support resulting in the effective pre-activation of N-heterocycle substrates and therefore in the good catalytic activity of the palladium nanoparticles during the hydrogenations. As demonstrated in the hydrogenation of imines, the catalyst was recycled up to 10 times without either loss of activity or palladium leaching. This journal is

An aerobic dehydrogenation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles catalyzed by Grubbs catalyst is developed. The reaction is applicable to various nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The exceptionally high functional group compatibility of this method was confirmed by the oxidation of an unprotected dihydroindolactam V to indolactam V. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the oxygen-mediated structural change of the Grubbs catalyst, we integrated ring-closing metathesis and subsequent aerobic dehydrogenation to develop the novel assisted-tandem catalysis using molecular oxygen as a chemical trigger. The utility of the assisted-tandem catalysis was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of N-containing fused heteroarenes including a natural antibiotic, pyocyanine.

Page/Page column 10; 16-17, (2020/05/04)
A method of reducing an aromatic ring under relatively mild condition using sub-nano particles of a transition metal supported on super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). The catalyst is efficient for catalyzing the reduction of both carbocyclic and heterocyclic compound. In compound comprising both carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic rings, the catalyst displays high regioselectivity for the heterocyclic ring.

A metal-free asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unprotected indoles was successfully realized using a catalyst derived from HB(C6F5)2 and (S)-tert-butylsulfinamide with ammonia borane as a hydrogen source. A variety of indolines were achieved in 40-78percent yields with up to 90percent ee.

The development of cost-effective, noble metal-free catalytic systems for the hydrogenation of unsaturated aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic compounds is fundamental for future valorization of general feedstock. With this aim, we report here the preparation of highly dispersed bimetallic Ni/Co nanoparticles (NPs), by a one-pot deposition-precipitation of Ni and Co phases onto mesoporous SBA-15 silica. By adjusting the chemical composition in the starting mixture, three supported catalysts with different Ni to Co weight ratios were obtained, which were further subjected to treatments under reducing conditions at high temperatures. Characterization of the resulting solids evidenced a homogenous distribution of Ni and Co elements forming the NPs, the best results being obtained for Ni/Co-2 : 2 samples, for which 50 wt.percent Ni–50 wt.percent Co NPs are found located on the surface of the residual phyllosilicate. Ni/Co-2 : 2, presenting the best performances for the hydrogenation of 2-methyl-quinoline, was further evaluated in the catalytic hydrogenation of selected imines, oximes and N-heteroarenes. Due to the high dispersion of bimetallic Ni?Co NPs, excellent properties (activity and selectivity) in the conversion of the selected substrates are reported.

Enantioenriched molecules bearing indole-substituted stereocenters form a class of privileged compounds in biological, medicinal, and organic chemistry. Thus, the development of methods for asymmetric indole alkylation is highly valuable in organic synthesis. Traditionally, achieving N-selectivity in indole alkylation reactions is a significant challenge, since there is an intrinsic preference for alkylation at C3, the most nucleophilic position. Furthermore, selective and predictable access to either N- or C3-alkylated chiral indoles using catalyst control has been a long-standing goal in indole functionalization. Herein, we report a ligand-controlled regiodivergent synthesis of N- and C3-alkylated chiral indoles that relies on a polarity reversal strategy. In contrast to conventional alkylation reactions in which indoles are employed as nucleophiles, this transformation employs electrophilic indole derivatives, N-(benzoyloxy)indoles, as coupling partners. N- or C3-alkylated indoles are prepared with high levels of regio- and enantioselectivity using a copper hydride catalyst. The regioselectivity is governed by the use of either DTBM-SEGPHOS or Ph-BPE as the supporting ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are conducted to elucidate the origin of the ligand-controlled regiodivergence.
