Ru-PNN pincer catalysts of the general form [{PNN}Ru(H)(Cl)(CO)] can dehydrogenate alcohols through inner- and outer-sphere mechanisms, but determining the favored path is challenging. To address this challenge, the following planar-locked quinoline-based PNN ligands, which cannot form key inner-sphere transition states and intermediates, were synthesized: 2-((ditertbutylphosphaneyl)methyl)-N,N-diethylquinolin-8-amine (QNPtBu), 2-((diisopropylphosphaneyl)methyl)-N,N-diethyl-quinolin-8-amine (QNPiPr), and 2-((diphenylphosphaneyl)-methyl)-N,N-diethylquinolin-8-amine (QNPPh). In addition to the quinoline-derived ligands, we also prepared the isoquinoline PNN ligand N-((1-((ditert-butylphosphaneyl)methyl)isoquinolin-3-yl)methyl)-N-ethylethanamine (IsoQNP) and two known picoline- and lutidine-derived ligands 2-((ditert-butylphosphaneyl)-methyl)pyridine (PicP) and 2-((ditert-butylphosphaneyl)methyl)-6-methylpyridine (LutP). These six ligands were coordinated to Ru(II) ions to prepare six new complexes of the general formulation [{L}Ru(H)(Cl)(CO)] analogous to Milstein’s PNN catalyst precursor (1PyCl). The X-ray structural, NMR, UV-vis, and FTIR spectroscopic properties of the new complexes are similar to parent complex 1PyCl and were used in catalytic 1-phenylethanol acceptor-less and transfer dehydrogenation. The comparative results demonstrate that 1Py outperforms the other catalysts. DFT reaction profiles were computed for 1Py and the planar-locked catalysts. The results suggest that 1Py has access to a lower-energy inner-sphere path, whereas the planar-locked catalysts can only proceed through a high-energy outer-sphere mechanism and may even get trapped in unreactive alkoxide sinks.
Reaction of nitroanilines with aldehydes. Refinement of the Doebner–Miller reaction mechanism

Due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amino and nitro groups, o-nitroaniline is incapable of forming Schiff bases in the reactions with acetaldehyde and crotonaldehyde but is converted to quinoline derivative under Doebner–Miller reaction conditions via addition to the C=C double bond of the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. Under analogous conditions, p-nitroaniline possessing a free amino group gives rise to the product of Doebner–Miller quinoline synthesis through intermediate formation of Schiff base dimer. The reaction of p-nitroaniline with benzaldehyde also yields the corresponding Schiff base, whereas o-nitroaniline is converted to N-benzyl derivative.

The systematic SAR study of a "caging" group showed a strong influence of the position of the donor dimethylamino group on the efficiency of photolysis of the DMAQ (2-hydroxymethylene-(N,N-dimethylamino)quinoline) caged acetate under one-photon near-UV or two-photon near-IR excitation. Photorelease of l-glutamate by the most efficient 8-DMAQ derivative strongly and efficiently activated glutamate receptors, generating large, fast rising responses similar to those elicited by glutamate photoreleased from the widely used MNI-caged glutamate.
