An exceptionally general electrophilic amination, which directly transforms commercially available nitroarenes into alkylated aromatic aminoboranes with zinc organyl compounds was developed. The reaction starts with a two-step partial reduction of the nitro group to a nitrenoid, which is used in situ as the electrophilic amination reagent. To facilitate isolation, the resulting air- and moisture-sensitive aminoboranes were reacted with a range of electrophiles. The method not only represents a direct transformation of nitro compounds into electrophilic amination reagents but also provides an elegant alternative to dehydrocoupling methods for the generation of aminoboranes.

Hydrogenation of amides in the presence of [Ru(acac)3] (acacH=2,4-pentanedione), triphos [1,1,1-tris- (diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane] and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) produces secondary and tertiary amines with selectivities as high as 93 % provided that there is at least one aromatic ring on N. The system is also active for the synthesis of primary amines. In an attempt to probe the role of MSA and the mechanism of the reaction, a range of methanesulfonato complexes has been prepared from prepared from [Ru(acac) 3], triphos and MSA, or from reactions of [RuX-(OAc)(triphos)] (X=H or OAc) or [RuH2(CO)(triphos)] with MSA. Crys-tallographically characterised complexes include: [Ru(OAc-κ1O) 2(H2O)-(triphos)], [Ru(OAc-κ2O,O') (CH3SO3-κ1O)(triphos)], [Ru(CH 3SO3-κ1O)2-(H 2O)(triphos)] and [Ru2(μ-CH3SO 3)3-(triphos)2][CH3SO3], whereas other complexes, such as [Ru(OAc-κ1O)(OAc- κ2O,O')(triphos)],[Ru(CH3SO3- κ1O)(CH3SO3-κ2O,O')- (triphos)], H[Ru(CH3SO3-κ1O) 3-(triphos)], [RuH(CH3SO3-κ1O) (CO)-(triphos)] and [RuH(CH3SO3-k2O,O')- (triphos)] have been characterised spectroscopically. The interactions between these various complexes and their relevance to the catalytic reactions are discussed.
