Alkylamines are important motifs in pharmaceutical and material sciences. The existing reports of C-H amination are limited to ammonia, diazo and azide nitrogen sources. This work describes a rapid construction of C-N bonds from accessible nitroarene and alkane feedstock under decatungstate catalysis. A variety of C-H precursors including gaseous, linear, cyclic and benzylic hydrocarbons could adopt this protocol to afford the corresponding alkylamines in high efficiency.

We report a Chan-Lam coupling reaction of benzylic and allylic boronic esters with primary and secondary anilines to form valuable alkyl amine products. Both secondary and tertiary boronic esters can be used as coupling partners, with mono-alkylation of the aniline occurring selectively. This is a rare example of a transition-metal-mediated transformation of a tertiary alkylboron reagent. Initial investigation into the reaction mechanism suggests that transmetalation from B to Cu occurs through a single-electron, rather than a two-electron process.

A simple and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of secondary amines in water has been developed. Combining Ru3(CO)12, tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and a small quantity of TGPS-750-M surfactant, primary and secondary alcohols were alkylated at N employing equimolar amounts of aromatic amines in water. The reaction occurs under microwave (MW) dielectric heating with high conversion and high yield. When required, the use of biomass-derived 2-MeTHF or GVL as a co-solvent is possible. Under the influence of MWs, a Ru nanoparticle-nanomicelle combination was formed acting as an effective and recyclable catalyst. This protocol was also employed for "in water" cyclisation to synthesise biologically relevant pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs).

A one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with NaBH4 was developed with a view to providing efficient, economical and greener synthetic conditions. A recyclable iron-based Lewis catalyst, Aquivion-Fe, was used to promote imine formation in cyclopentyl methyl ether, followed by the addition of a small amount of methanol to the reaction mixture to enable C=N reduction by NaBH4. The protocol, applied to a wide number of amines and carbonyl compounds, resulted in ever complete conversion of these latter with excellent chemoselectivity towards the expected amination products in the most cases. Isolated yields, determined for a selection of the screened substrates, were found consistent with the previously obtained conversion and selectivity data. Cinacalcet, an important active pharmaceutical ingredient, was efficiently prepared by the title procedure.

Several types of β-ketoamino based N,O-coordinate half-sandwich ruthenium complexes have been synthesized in moderate to good yields. The stable ruthenium complexes displayed good and diverse catalytic efficiency in reductive amination between aldehydes and amines in aqueous solution. The method gave a facile route for one-pot synthesis of diverse complicated amines with a low catalyst loading by using cheap and less-toxic HCOOH or clean H2 as hydrogen source. Catalyst Ru1 showed the highest catalytic activity of 190 h-1 TOF value in the reductive amination reaction of benzaldehyde with aniline. The corresponding amine products were furnished in excellent yields under the standard catalysis system. The efficient and diverse catalytic activity, broad substance scope, mild conditions, and environmentally benign solvent made this system potentially applicable in industrial production. Ruthenium complexes were characterized using NMR, elemental analysis, and IR techniques to confirm their structure.

5-HT1A receptor (5-HT1AR) agonists have been implicated in the treatment of a variety of central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as depression and anxiety, et al. Based on our previously found compound FW01 (Ki = 51 ± 16 nM) obtained by virtual screening, a series of FW01 derivatives were designed and synthesized by the modification of the amide tail group as well as indole headgroup of FW01. SAR exploration found that amide tail group and indole headgroup play pivotal roles in determining the binding affinity and selectivity on dopamine and serotonin receptor subtypes. Among all tested compounds, 9_24 has a Ki value of 5 ± 0.6 nM with a good selectivity toward 5-HT1AR. The [35S] GTPγS assay showed that 9_24 is a full agonist toward 5-HT1AR with an EC50 value of 0.059 nM, which shows 266.2 and 146.4-fold selectivity to 5-HT2A and D3 respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking studies with 5-HT1AR-9_24 were performed to disclose the mechanism of its high activity and selectivity. Finally, a detailed stepwise 9_24 induced signal transduction mechanism of 5-HT1AR is proposed.

Aryl amines are important pharmaceutical intermediates among other numerous applications. Herein, an environmentally benign route and novel approach to aryl amine synthesis using dehydrative amination of phenols with amines and styrene under continuous-flow conditions was developed. Inexpensive and readily available phenols were efficiently converted into the corresponding aryl amines, with small amounts of easily removable co-products (i.e., H2O and alkanes), in multistep continuous-flow reactors in the presence of heterogeneous Pd catalysts. The high product selectivity and functional-group tolerance of this method allowed aryl amines with diverse functional groups to be selectively obtained in high yields over a continuous operation time of one week.

The development of efficient and selective C?N bond-forming reactions from abundant feedstock chemicals remains a central theme in organic chemistry owing to the key roles of amines in synthesis, drug discovery, and materials science. Herein, we present a dual catalytic system for the N-alkylation of diverse aromatic carbocyclic and heterocyclic amines directly with carboxylic acids, by-passing their preactivation as redox-active esters. The reaction, which is enabled by visible-light-driven, acridine-catalyzed decarboxylation, provides access to N-alkylated secondary and tertiary anilines and N-heterocycles. Additional examples, including double alkylation, the installation of metabolically robust deuterated methyl groups, and tandem ring formation, further demonstrate the potential of the direct decarboxylative alkylation (DDA) reaction.

Thanks to a highly active catalyst, the scope of the (cyclopentadienone)iron complex-promoted 'hydrogen-borrowing' (HB) amination has been expanded to secondary alcohols, which had previously been reported to react only in the presence of large amounts of co-catalysts. A range of cyclic and acyclic secondary alcohols were reacted with aromatic and aliphatic amines giving fair to excellent yields of the substitution products. The catalyst was also able to promote the cyclization of diols bearing a secondary alcohol group with primary amines to generate saturated N-heterocycles.

Herein, we broaden the application scope of (cyclo-pentadienone)iron complexes 1 in C=N bond reduction. The catalytic scope of pre-catalyst 1b, which is more active than the “Kn?lker complex” (1a) and other members of its family, has been expanded to the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of a wider range of aldimines and ketimines, either pre-isolated or generated in situ. The kinetics of 1b-promoted CTH of ketimine S1 were assessed, showing a pseudo-first order profile, with TOF = 6.07 h–1 at 50 % conversion. Moreover, the chiral complex 1c and its analog 1d were employed in the enantioselective reduction of ketimines and reductive amination of ketones, giving fair to good yields and moderate enantioselectivity.
