Simultaneous formation of C-C/C-N bonds provides insight into the bottom-up synthesis of N-heterocycles. This work reports Ni0/Niδ+ synergistic catalysis on the surface of Ni nanoparticles for the highly efficient one-pot formation of C-C/C-N bonds, affording 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline and its derivatives from 2-amino benzyl alcohol and ethanol without any addition of liquor base or external hydrogen. Ni0/Niδ+ synergistic catalysis has been achieved by regulating the Ni particle size or activating the Ni surface with O2. In the dehydrogenation of -CH2-OH to -CH=O, the formation of C==C and C=N bonds via concurrent cross-condensation, and the transformation of C=C/C=N to C-C/C-N via hydrogen transfer, ethanol dehydrogenation has been found to be the rate-determining step. Reducing the Ni particle size effectively increases the number of surface Niδ+ sites, which accelerates catalytic dehydrogenation through synergistic catalysis between surface Niδ+ and Ni0 sites. The number of surface Niδ+ sites can be further increased by appropriately activating the Ni surface with O2

By applying N-doped carbon modified iron-based catalysts, the controlled hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes, especially (iso)quinolones, is achieved. Crucial for activity is the catalyst preparation by pyrolysis of a carbon-impregnated composite, obtained from iron(ii) acetate and N-aryliminopyridines. As demonstrated by TEM, XRD, XPS and Raman spectroscopy, the synthesized material is composed of Fe(0), Fe3C and FeNx in a N-doped carbon matrix. The decent catalytic activity of this robust and easily recyclable Fe-material allowed for the selective hydrogenation of various (iso)quinoline derivatives, even in the presence of reducible functional groups, such as nitriles, halogens, esters and amides. For a proof-of-concept, this nanostructured catalyst was implemented in the multistep synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical lead compounds as well as modification of photoluminescent materials. As such this methodology constitutes the first heterogeneous iron-catalyzed hydrogenation of substituted (iso)quinolones with synthetic importance.
