The nickel-catalyzed N-Alkylation of a variety of arylamines via transfer hydrogenation in the absence of pressurized hydrogen and basic or acidic additives was achieved in a tandem reaction. This process was further extended to the CN bond reduction and N-Alkylation of a variety of imines with ethanol, the latter acting as a hydrogen and acetaldehyde source, which allowed for the reduction and subsequent condensation to yield the corresponding N-Alkylated products.
C(sp3)-F bond activation of CF3-substituted anilines with catalytically generated silicon cations: Spectroscopic evidence for a hydride-bridged Ru-S dimer in the catalytic cycle

Heterolytic splitting of the Si-H bond mediated by a Ru-S bond forms a sulfur-stabilized silicon cation that is sufficiently electrophilic to abstract fluoride from CF3 groups attached to selected anilines. The ability of the Ru-H complex, generated in the cooperative activation step, to intramolecularly transfer its hydride to the intermediate carbenium ion (stabilized in the form of a cationic thioether complex) is markedly dependent on the electronic nature of its phosphine ligand. An electron-deficient phosphine thwarts the reduction step but, based on the Ru-S catalyst, half of an equivalent of an added alkoxide not only facilitates but also accelerates the catalysis. The intriguing effect is rationalized by the formation of a hydride-bridged Ru-S dimer that was detected by 1H NMR spectroscopy. A refined catalytic cycle is proposed.
One-pot photo-reductive N-alkylation of aniline and nitroarene derivatives with primary alcohols over Au-TiO2

We report the photo-catalytic N-alkylation of aniline by Au-TiO 2. We successfully alkylate aniline with several primary alcohols. The combined selectivities of mono- and di-alkylated products were always in excess of 70% and dependent on the alkylating alcohol used. A one-pot reaction from nitrobenzene was found to be possible with several substrates. Preliminary experiments showed that this approach could be adopted for the production of lactams using terminal amino-alcohols. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
