Ru-Catalyzed Selective Catalytic Methylation and Methylenation Reaction Employing Methanol as the C1 Source

Methanol can be employed as a green and sustainable methylating agent to form C-C and C-N bonds via borrowing hydrogen (BH) methodology. Herein we explored the activity of the acridine-derived SNS-Ru pincer for the activation of methanol to apply it as a C1 building block in different reactions. Our catalytic system shows great success toward the β-C(sp3)-methylation reaction of 2-phenylethanols to provide good to excellent yields of the methylated products. We investigated the mechanistic details, kinetic progress, and temperature-dependent product distribution, which revealed the slow and steady generation of in situ formed aldehyde, is the key factor to get the higher yield of the β-methylated product. To establish the environmental benefit of this reaction, green chemistry metrics are calculated. Furthermore, dimerization of 2-naphthol via methylene linkage and formation of N-methylation of amine are also described in this study, which offers a wide range of substrate scope with a good to excellent yield.

PRODUCTION OF AMINES VIA A HYDROAMINOMETHYLATION REACTION USING IMINIUM REACTANTS

Provided is a process for producing an amine via a hydroaminomethylation reaction of a non- aromatic C-C double bond, said process comprising a step of reacting a compound comprising a non-aromatic C-C double bond with an iminium ion in a solvent comprising an alcohol, wherein the iminium ion is represented by the following formula (I): wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen or selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may be substituted, an aromatic hydrocarbon group which may be substituted, an aliphatic heterocyclic group which may be substituted, an aromatic heterocyclic group which may be substituted and of combinations thereof, such as an aralkyl group which may be substituted; and R1 and R2 may be bonded to each other to form a ring together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound; and wherein R1 and R2 are not both hydrogen and at least one of R1 and R2 carries a hydrogen atom at a carbon atom in ex? position to the nitrogen atom of the iminium ion.

N-Methylation of amines and nitroarenes with methanol using heterogeneous platinum catalysts

We report herein the selective N-methylation of amines and nitroarenes with methanol under basic conditions using carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/C) as a heterogeneous catalyst. This method is widely applicable to four types of N-methylation reactions: (1) N,N-dimethylation of aliphatic amines under N2, (2) N-monomethylation of aliphatic amines under 40 bar H2, (3) N-monomethylation of aromatic amines under N2, and (4) tandem synthesis of N-methyl anilines from nitroarenes and methanol under 2 bar H2. All these reactions under the same catalytic system showed high yields of the corresponding methylamines for a wide range of substrates, high turnover number (TON), and good catalyst reusability. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeded via a borrowing hydrogen methodology. Kinetic results combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the high performance of Pt/C was ascribed to the moderate metal–hydrogen bond strength of Pt.

PRODUCTION OF AMINES VIA A HYDROAMINOALKYLATION REACTION

A BEt3-Base catalyst for amide reduction with silane

Reported herein is the development of a simple but practical catalytic system for the selective reduction of amides with hydrosilane or hydrosiloxane. Low-cost and readily available triethylborane (1.0 M in THF), in combination with a catalytic amount of an alkali metal base, was found to catalyze the reduction of all three amide classes (tertiary, secondary, and primary amides) to form amines under mild conditions. In addition, the selective transformation of secondary amides to aldimines and primary amides to nitriles can also be achieved by using a proper combination of BEt3 and base. The scope of these BEt3-base-catalyzed amide hydrosilylation reactions has been explored in depth. Preliminary results of mechanistic studies suggest a modified Piers' silane Si-H···B activation mode wherein the hydride abstraction by BEt3 is promoted by the coordination of an alkoxide or hydroxide anion to the Si center.

A General Acid-Mediated Hydroaminomethylation of Unactivated Alkenes and Alkynes

In comparison to the extensively studied metal-catalyzed hydroamination reaction, hydroaminomethylation has received significantly less attention despite its considerable potential to streamline amine synthesis. State-of-the-art protocols for hydroaminomethylation of alkenes rely largely on transition-metal catalysis, enabling this transformation only under highly designed and controlled conditions. Here we report a broadly applicable, acid-mediated approach to the hydroaminomethylation of unactivated alkenes and alkynes. This methodology employs cheap, readily available, and bench-stable reactants and affords the desired amines with excellent functional group tolerance and impeccable regioselectivity. The broad scope of this transformation, as well as mechanistic investigations and in situ domino functionalization reactions are reported.
