- Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Saccharin-Substituted β-Lactams via in Situ Generation of a Heterosubstituted Ketene and a Zwitterionic Intermediate as Potential Antibacterial Agents
-
Highly stereoselective synthesis of saccharin derivatives containing functionalized 2-azetidinone moiety was achieved starting from saccharin as an available precursor. The approach to these valuable heterocyclic scaffolds involves a formal [2π + 2π] cycloaddition between Schiff bases and the saccharinylketene as a novel ketene which was generated in situ and an electrocyclic reaction of a zwitterionic intermediate. The identification of the ketene was confirmed by reaction with the stable free radical TEMPO (TO?). Also, the antimicrobial activities of some new substituted saccharin against nine standard bacteria, four bacteria which were isolated from clinical samples and one yeast, were evaluated.

- Highly efficient and selective one-pot tandem imine synthesis via amine-alcohol cross-coupling reaction catalysed by chromium-based MIL-101 supported Au nanoparticles
-
One-pot tandem synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines is regarded as an effective, economic and green approach under mild conditions. In this work, Au nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on MIL-101 (Au/MIL-101) were demonstrated as highly active and selective bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst for production of various imine derivatives with excellent yields, via amine-alcohol cross-coupling reaction at 343 K in an open flask under an Ar atmosphere. Various physicochemical techniques, including inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption, were used to characterize of the Au/MIL-101 catalyst. The obtained bifunctional catalyst is highly active and selective towards one-pot imine formation and exhibited the highest TOF (30.15-51.47 h?1) among all the ever-reported MOF-supported Au catalysts. The reaction mechanism of the imine formation from alcohol and amine over Au/MIL-101 catalyst was proposed. Mechanism experiment results demonstrate that Au NPs highly effective in activating oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde while the Lewis acid sites on MIL-101 catalyzed the second condensation step without interfering with the oxidation step. As a result, the excellent catalytic performance of Au/MIL-101 can be ascribed to the synergistic effect between Au NPs with Lewis acid sites in MIL-101.

- The recognition of a diarylimine as a metabonate produced during incubation of N-benzyl-4-chloroaniline with hepatic microsomal preparations
-
Evidence is presented for the formation of N-benzylidene-4-chloroaniline as a metabonate during the metabolism of N-benzyl-4-chloroaniline. Control studies suggest that the diarylimine is formed as a chemical artifact from the debenzylation products (benzaldehyde and 4-chloroaniline). This novel observation indicates a possible pathway to amide formation from N-benzylanilines via diarylimines as intermediates.

Quinazoline skeletons are synthesized by amino acid catabolism/reconstruction combined with the insertion/cyclization of dimethyl sulfoxide for the first time. The amino acid acts as a carbon and nitrogen source through HI-mediated catabolism and is then reconstructed using aromatic amines and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a one-carbon synthon. This protocol is of great significance for the further study of the conversion of amino acids.

The anodic oxidation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIm-BF4) efficiently generates BF3from BF4-. This Lewis acid, strongly bound to the ionic liquids, can be efficiently used in classical BF3-catalyzed reactions. We demonstrated the BF3/BMIm-BF4reactivity in four reactions, namely, a domino Friedel-Crafts/lactonization of phenols, the Povarov reaction, the Friedel-Crafts benzylation of anisole, and the multicomponent synthesis of tetrahydro-11H-benzo[a]xanthen-11-ones. In comparison with literature data using BF3-Et2O in organic solvents, in all the presented cases, analogous or improved results were obtained. Moreover, the noteworthy advantages of the developed method are thein situgeneration of BF3(no storing necessity) in the required amount, using only the electron as redox reagent, and the recycling of BMIm-BF4for multiple subsequent runs.

- Highly chemoselective synthesis of imine over Co/Zn bimetallic MOFs derived Co3ZnC-ZnO embed in carbon nanosheet catalyst
-
One-pot direct synthesis of imines via reductive amination of nitroarenes with aromatic aldehydes remains a great challenge due in part to its over-hydrogenation of imines to secondary amines. Herein, a novel Co3ZnC and ZnO supported on N-doped carbon nanosheet catalyst with the thickness of ca. 5.0 nm was fabricated through the direct pyrolysis of a Co/Zn bimetallic MOFs at 500 °C (named as Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500). Surprisingly, the developed Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst delivers 99.9 % conversion of nitrobenzene and 98.5 % selectivity to N-benzylideneaniline in one-pot reductive amination of nitrobenzene with benzaldehyde. Various characterizations (including as SEM, XRD, TEM, AFM, XPS, Raman and N2 adsorption–desorption) have revealed that the generated small size of Co3ZnC alloy, abundant structural defects, larger specific surface area (105.5 m2·g?1) as well as more basic sites are responsible for the outstanding catalytic activity of Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst for tandem reaction. Moreover, the Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst exhibits high stability during the recycling experiments without the loss of its catalytic activity. Notably, the results of contrast experiments have demonstrated that the intentional introduction of ZnO in Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst plays a key role in the selectivity to N-benzylideneaniline in the tandem reaction. This study provides a new guideline for designing tandem catalysts with high selectivity.

-
Schiff bases that are generally formed from condensation reactions of aldehydes (or ketones) and amino groups could also be produced by a photodriven one-pot tandem reaction between alcohols and nitro compounds, in our case. Herein, TiO2-x porous cages derived from NH2-MIL-125 by a self-sacrificing template route are used to study the organic transformation and exhibit 100% conversion efficiency of nitrobenzene and 100% selectivity for Schiff bases in the system of benzyl alcohol (5 mL) and nitrobenzene (41 μL) upon light irradiation, but hydrogen by dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol cannot be detected. Successful occurrence of the organic transformation is mainly attributed to Ti(III)-oxygen vacancy associates. Surface oxygen vacancy-related Ti(III) sites are responsible for binding with nitro groups, and low-coordinated Ti5c sites selectively adsorb hydroxyl groups of benzyl alcohol. The Ti(III) and oxygen vacancy associates capture photogenerated electrons for achievement of multielectron reduction of nitrobenzene and the subsequent Schiff base condensation reaction with the as-formed benzaldehyde.

- Efficient Imine Formation by Oxidative Coupling at Low Temperature Catalyzed by High-Surface-Area Mesoporous CeO2 with Exceptional Redox Property
-
High-surface-area mesoporous CeO2 (hsmCeO2) was prepared by a facile organic-template-induced homogeneous precipitation process and showed excellent catalytic activity in imine synthesis in the absence of base from primary alcohols and amines in air atmosphere at low temperature. For comparison, ordinary CeO2 and hsmCeO2 after different thermal treatments were also investigated. XRD, N2 physisorption, UV-Raman, H2 temperature-programmed reduction, O2 temperature-programmed desorption, EPR spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to unravel the structural and redox properties. The hsmCeO2 calcined at 400 °C shows the highest specific surface area (158 m2 g?1), the highest fraction of surface coordinatively unsaturated Ce3+ ions (18.2 %), and the highest concentration of reactive oxygen vacancies (2.4×1015 spins g?1). In the model reaction of oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol and aniline, such an exceptional redox property of the hsmCeO2 catalyst can boost benzylideneaniline formation (2.75 and 5.55 mmol (Formula presented.) h?1 based on >99 % yield at 60 and 80 °C, respectively) in air with no base additives. It can also work effectively at a temperature of 30 °C and in gram-scale synthesis. These are among the best results for all benchmark ceria catalysts in the literature. Moreover, the hsmCeO2 catalyst shows a wide scope towards primary alcohols and amines with good to excellent yield of imines. The influence of reaction parameters, the reusability of the catalyst, and the reaction mechanism were investigated.

Switchable imine and amine synthesis catalyzed by a tripodal ligand-supported well-defined cobalt complex is presented herein. A large variety of primary alcohols and amines were selectively converted to imines or amines in good to excellent yields. It is discovered that the base plays a crucial role on the selectivity. A catalytic amount of base leads to the imine formation, while an excess loading of base results in the amine product. This strategy on product selectivity also strongly depends on the organometallic catalysts in use. We expect that the present study could provide useful insights toward selective organic synthesis and catalyst design.

- Efficient imine synthesisviaoxidative coupling of alcohols with amines in an air atmosphere using a mesoporous manganese-zirconium solid solution catalyst
-
Direct oxidative coupling of alcohols with amines using a non-precious metal oxide catalyst under mild conditions is highly desirable for imine synthesis. In this work, a mesoporous Mn1ZrxOysolid solution catalyst prepared by a co-precipitation method showed excellent catalytic performance in imine synthesis from primary alcohols and amines without base additives in an air atmosphere. XRD, N2physisorption, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, EPR and XPS were comprehensively used to unravel its structural, redox and amphoteric properties that closely depended on the interaction between MnOyand ZrO2with a variable Zr ratio. The Mn1Zr0.5Oycatalyst presented the highest fractions of Mn3+ions and reactive oxygen species on the surface, and the highest concentrations of acidic-basic sites, which were disclosed to play important roles in activating alcohols and molecular O2in the rate-determining step. In the model reaction of oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol with aniline, such enhanced features of the Mn1Zr0.5Oycatalyst can promote the intrinsic catalytic activity (iTOF of 1.87 h?1) and boost benzylideneaniline formation (5.56 mmol gcat.?1h?1) based on a >99% yield at 80 °C respectively at a fast response. It can also work effectively at a room temperature of 30 °C, as well as for the gram-grade synthesis. This is one of the best results among all the MnOy-based catalysts in the literature. Moreover, this catalyst showed good stability and a wide substrate scope with good to excellent yields of imines.

These complexes have been well characterized, and their exact structure was elaborated on by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The iridium(III) complexes 1-4 showed good catalytic activity in the imine synthesis under open-flask conditions (air as the oxidant) from primary amine oxidative homocoupling, secondary amine dehydrogenation, and the cross-coupling reaction of amine and alcohol. Substituents bonded on the ligands of the iridium complexes displayed little effect on the catalytic efficiency. The stability and good catalytic efficiency of the iridium catalysts, mild reaction conditions, and substrate universality showed their potential application in industrial production.

Chemoselective reduction of imines to secondary amines is catalyzed efficiently by tethered and untethered, half-sandwich ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes at room temperature. The untethered Ru-NHC complexes are more efficient as catalysts for the reduction of aldimines and ketimines than the tethered complexes. Using the best untethered complex as a catalyst, electronic and steric demands on the reaction was probed using a series of imines. Chemoselectivity of the catalyst towards imine reduction was tested by performing inter and intramolecular competitive reactions in a variety of ways.

- Ni-Catalyzed asymmetric reduction of α-keto-β-lactams: via DKR enabled by proton shuttling
-
Chiral α-hydroxy-β-lactams are key fragments of many bioactive compounds and antibiotics, and the development of efficient synthetic methods for these compounds is of great value. The highly enantioselective dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of α-keto-β-lactams was realized via a novel proton shuttling strategy. A wide range of α-keto-β-lactams were reduced efficiently and enantioselectively by Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation, providing the corresponding α-hydroxy-β-lactam derivatives with high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 92% yield, up to 94% ee). Deuterium-labelling experiments indicate that phenylphosphinic acid plays a pivotal role in the DKR of α-keto-β-lactams by promoting the enolization process. The synthetic potential of this protocol was demonstrated by its application in the synthesis of a key intermediate of Taxol and (+)-epi-Cytoxazone. This journal is

-
An efficient and highly selective phosphine-free NN-manganese(I) complex catalyst system was developed for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with amines to form imines. The coupling reactions underwent at 3 mol % catalyst loading, and a large range of alcohols and amines with diverse functional groups was applied, including challenging diol and diamine. The target imine products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The present work provides an alternative method to construct highly active nonprecious metal complex catalysts based on phosphine-free ligands.

- Silver nanoparticles stabilized by a metal-organic framework (MIL-101(Cr)) as an efficient catalyst for imine production from the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines
-
In this paper, we present silver nanoparticles supported on a metal-organic framework (Ag@MIL-101) as a catalyst for the one-pot tandem synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines. The Ag@MIL-101 catalyst was fabricated using the liquid phase impregnation technique as an easy and effective method. The morphology and chemical structure of the prepared catalyst were systemically evaluated by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The highly crystalline feature of the Ag metal nanoparticles on bifunctional MIL-101(Cr) was revealed by TEM and HRTEM analyses. The Ag@MIL-101 catalyst was examined as a catalyst for the synthesis of different imine derivatives. The catalytic performance of the Ag@MIL-101 catalyst was monitored by GC-MS and 1H-NMR analyses for the dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines. Furthermore, the effect of various factors such as the amount of catalyst, base, temperature and solvent was investigated to optimize the conditions for the best performance of the Ag@MIL-101 catalyst. Catalytic activity test results showed that the Ag@MIL-101 catalyst has a good catalytic activity with TOF values in the range of 12.7-14.6 h-1 in the synthesis of various imines.

- Rational Design of Cobalt-Platinum Alloy Decorated Cobalt Nanoparticles for One-Pot Synthesis of Imines from Nitroarenes and Aldehydes
-
Developing high-performance heterogeneous catalysts for one-pot reductive amination reactions is critically important for pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthetic industries. In this work, N-doped carbon nanotubes supported CoPt alloy decorated Co nanoparticles (NPs) are successfully fabricated. As a consequence, the resultant catalyst exhibits desirable activity, selectivity and stability toward the one-pot synthesis of imines. More importantly, the extensive experimental studies and density function theory (DFT) calculations results reveal that the high catalytic activity of the catalyst is mainly due to the co-existence of CoPt alloy NPs and Co NPs with Co?Nx active sites. The high selectivity of imines could be ascribed to the following aspects: (1) competitively preferred adsorption of nitroarenes to avoid side-hydrogenation of aldehydes; (2) weakened adsorption of imines to minimize its over-hydrogenation. This work may provide a promising direction and strategy to design high-performance reductive amination catalysts for industrial applications.

- Uniform Cu/chitosan beads as a green and reusable catalyst for facile synthesis of iminesviaoxidative coupling reaction
-
A nonprecious metal and biopolymer-based catalyst, Cu/chitosan beads, has been successfully prepared by using a software-controlled flow system. Uniform, spherical Cu/chitosan beads can be obtained with diameters in millimeter-scale and narrow size distribution (0.78 ± 0.04 mm). The size and morphology of the Cu/chitosan beads are reproducible due to high precision of the flow rate. In addition, the application of the Cu/chitosan beads as a green and reusable catalyst has been demonstrated using a convenient and efficient protocol for the direct synthesis of iminesviathe oxidative self- and cross-coupling of amines (24 examples) with moderate to excellent yields. Importantly, the beads are stable and could be reused more than ten times without loss of the catalytic performance. Furthermore, because of the bead morphology, the Cu/chitosan catalyst has greatly simplified recycling and workup procedures.

- Application of a reusable Co-based nanocatalyst in alcohol dehydrogenative coupling strategy: Synthesis of quinoxaline and imine scaffolds
-
A nitrogen doped carbon supported cobalt catalyzed efficient synthesis of imines and quinoxaline motifs is reported. Co(OAc)2-Phen/Carbon-800 (Co-phen/C-800) showed the superior reactivity compared to other materials prepared at different temperature, in the synthesis of quinoxalines by the coupling between diamines and diols. Moreover, applying the transfer hydrogenation and acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling strategy, imines and quinoxaline derivatives were synthesized from the nitro compounds. The practical applicability of this protocol was demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis and the reusability of the catalyst upto 8th cycle. Furthermore, several kinetic experiments were carried out to realize the probable mechanism.

- Thermally regulated molybdate-based ionic liquids toward molecular oxygen activation for one-pot oxidative cascade catalysis
-
One-pot oxidative cascade catalysis plays a central role in the synthesis of key pharmaceutical and industrial molecules. Although ionic liquids are one of the most promising solvents and reaction media, the breakthrough of their catalysis in aerobic oxidation is very challenging due to the difficulty in the direct activation of molecular oxygen. Herein, a family of novel thermally regulated molybdate-based ionic liquids (Mo-ILs) has been designed and developed for the first time toward molecular oxygen activation for highly efficient tandem oxidative catalysis. Three diverse one-pot oxidative cascade processes for the syntheses of various flavones, imines, and benzyl benzoates were achieved with good to excellent yields using the Mo-IL [Bmim]2[MoO4] as a catalyst under air conditions. The results of spectroscopic investigations and quantum-chemical calculations further demonstrated that a thermally regulated proton migration between the cation [Bmim] and anion [MoO4] was the key to forming N-heterocyclic carbene and thereby to effortlessly promoting the generation of O2- active species from molecular oxygen, which results in excellent catalytic performance in these three aerobic tandem oxidations. Our work extends the application area of ILs as the sole catalyst to one-pot aerobic oxidative cascade catalysis, which could have pronounced implications in future work.

- Air-Stable Half-Sandwich Iridium Complexes as Aerobic Oxidation Catalysts for Imine Synthesis
-
Several N,O-coordinate half-sandwich iridium complexes, 1-5, containing constrained bulky β-enaminoketonato ligands were prepared and clearly characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction characterization of these complexes indicates that the iridium center adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. Complexes 1-5 showed good catalytic efficiency in the oxidative homocoupling of primary amines, dehydrogenation of secondary amines, and the oxidative cross-coupling of amines and alcohols, which furnished various types of imines in good yields and high selectivities using O2 as an oxidant under mild conditions. No distinctive substituent effects of the iridium catalysts were observed in these reactions. The diverse catalytic activity, broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and high yields of the products made this catalytic system attractive in industrial processes.

- Study of the versatility of CuBTC?IL-derived materials for heterogeneous catalysis
-
The versatility of CuBTC (or HKUST-1) MOF materials to be functionalized to tune their catalytic activity performance was evaluated. The MOFs were functionalized with ionic liquids (ILs) to give rise to catalysts able to adsorb CO2and react with epoxides to produce carbonates. The materials are active for this reaction and show good conversion rates at 100 °C and 7 bar CO2, confirming their ability to fix this gas and transform it into valuable products. In addition, the MOF?IL composite material1can be functionalized to give rise to a bimetallic catalyst, taking advantage of the N-heterocyclic carbene present in the imidazolium-based ILs. Therefore, the material was reacted with palladium dichloride, yielding CuBTC?IL-(NHC)Pd (1Pd) which has been tested for homocoupling of alkynes and imination of benzyl alcohol reactions. The recyclability of the catalysts has been studied and hot filtration tests have been made.

- Ultrasound-assisted construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction with g-C3N4 nanosheets and flower-like Bi2WO6 microspheres and the photocatalytic activity in the coupling reaction between alcohols and amines under visible light irradiation
-
Flower-like Bi2WO6 microspheres and bulk g-C3N4 were prepared by the hydrothermal method and high-temperature calcining method, respectively. A new method based on the combination of ultrasonic stripping and mechanical stirring was used to obtain uniform composite x-Bi2WO6/g-C3N4 (x is the Bi2WO6 mass ratio) photocatalysts with a Z-scheme heterojunction. In the reaction of benzyl alcohol and aniline to form imine, the optimal composite, 30percent-Bi2WO6/g-C3N4, showed a conversion rate of 87.6percent, which is much higher than that of pure Bi2WO6 and g-C3N4. Characterization by SEM and TEM showed that the ultrasonically stripped g-C3N4 significantly reduced the radial dimension compared to bulk g-C3N4. A uniformly dispersed photocatalytic material was formed, and it maintained a flower-like microsphere structure. Materials characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET) showed that the specific surface area of the g-C3N4 nanosheets increased by approximately ten times after ultrasonic stripping. The photostability of the composite was verified by cyclic experiments. Under visible light irradiation, the activation energy of the coupling reaction between benzyl alcohol and aniline was found to be decreased by 29.8 kJ mol?1. A capture experiment was used to verify the active species in the photocatalytic system, with the reaction found to be mainly completed through the synergistic action of h+, e? and ?O2?.

- Insight into Ce Doping Induced Oxygen Vacancies over Ce-Doped Mno2 Catalysts for Imine Synthesis
-
The pursuit of modern sustainable chemistry has stimulated the development of innovative catalytic processes that enable chemical transformations to be performed under mild and clean conditions with high efficiency. Here, an amorphous sheet-like MnO2 (Ce-doped MnO2: CMBO) was obtained after Ce doping, which exhibits excellent catalytic performance for the oxidation coupling of alcohol and aniline. Conversion of 99% and a selectivity of 99% could be achieved within 6 h at 60 oC under air atmosphere, and the formation rate of target product was up to 30.2 μmol·h–1·m–2. Based on a series of characterizations, it was found that the doping of Ce into the MnO2 could increase the concentration of the oxygen vacancies, thus forming abundant active surface oxygen species and favoring the mobility of lattice oxygen, which are the main reasons for the greatly enhanced catalytic performance of CMBO. This work indicates that increasing oxygen vacancy by element doping may serve as a facile and efficient way to enhance catalytic performance of transition metal oxide.

- Tuning effect of amorphous Fe2O3on Mn3O4for efficient atom-economic synthesis of imines at low temperature: Improving [O] transfer cycle of Mn3+/Mn2+in Mn3O4
-
A facile and scaled-up synthesis route to efficient and environment-friendly metal oxide catalysts with desirable properties is of great practical importance, owing to their excellent performance as heterogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis. Herein, a novel amorphous Fe2O3 modified Mn3O4 catalyst (Fe5Mn5-100) has been prepared by adopting a simple co-precipitation method following low temperature baking. Fe5Mn5-100 showed exceptionally high catalytic activity for the atom-economic production of imine from benzyl alcohol with aniline, giving a 98% imine yield at 60 °C in only 3 h, which is higher than all of the reported non-noble and noble metal catalysts. Importantly, Fe5Mn5-100 could still exhibit extraordinary catalytic performance on a large-scale reaction without any solvent, including the frequently used toxic mesitylene, xylene or toluene. Interestingly, the amorphous Fe2O3-100 provided no catalytic activity, and pure Mn3O4-100 showed very inferior catalytic activity towards this reaction. Further detailed characterizations and experimental results revealed that amorphous Fe2O3 plays an important role in expediting the [O] transfer cycle of Mn3+/Mn2+ in Mn3O4, and enhances the oxidation ability and acidity of Fe5Mn5-100. This discovery would provide a new avenue for the atom-economic and environment-friendly industrial synthesis of imine. This journal is

An efficient synthesis of quinolines, pyrimidines, quinoxalines, pyrroles, and aminomethylated aromatic compounds catalyzed by a well-defined Re(I) PNP pincer complex is described. All reactions proceed with liberation of dihydrogen and elimination of water. Under optimized reaction conditions a wide range of organic functional groups are tolerated. This study demonstrates that rhenium catalysts are performing extremely well in dehydrogenative processes with considerably lower catalyst loadings and shorter reaction times when compared to analogous Mn(I) complexes.

- 1,4-Dihydropyridine/BF3OEt2 for the reduction of imines: Influences of the amount of added BF3OEt2 and the substitution at N-1 and C-4 of the dihydropyridine ring
-
We have evaluated four 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d) as reducing agents, which presented free (hydrogenated) or phenyl-substituted N-1 and C-4 positions of the DHP ring. Reactions combining each of the DHP and different amounts of BF3OEt2 were evaluated for the reduction of imine 2a (N-benzylideneaniline). DHP simultaneously substituted at N-1 and C-4 (1a), and DHP substituted at C-4 (1b) gave lower yields for reduction of 2a in comparison with DHPs 1c and 1d (both unsubstituted at the C-4 position). By evaluating the amount of added BF3OEt2 to the reaction mixture, we have found that DHP 1c (substituted at N-1) provided its best yield for amine 3a (82%) when associated with stoichiometric amounts BF3OEt2, while DHP 1d (N-1- and C-4-unsubstituted derivative) was more effective (90% yield) with catalytic quantities of the Lewis acid. The reaction system using DHP 1c under stoichiometric BF3OEt2 could also be successfully applied with additional imine examples and under reductive amination conditions.

- Visible light photocatalytic aerobic oxidative synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines on dye-sensitized TiO2
-
A general visible light photocatalytic protocol for the synthesis of imines via a two-step one-pot route on alizarin red S (ARS)-sensitized TiO2 was uncovered. This efficient synthesis protocol involves one step of the highly selective formation of aldehydes from the oxidation of alcohols with O2 on ARS-sensitized TiO2 photocatalyst, and a subsequent step of condensation of newly formed aldehydes with various amines on TiO2 to afford imines in one pot. Anatase TiO2 provides a versatile platform for catalytic amounts of ARS (0.67 mol%) to facilitate the electron transfer from dye traversing its conduction band to O2 under green LED irradiation. Moreover, the Lewis acid sites of TiO2 can promote the formation of imines from aldehydes and amines in very high isolated yields. We took advantage of both the photocatalytic and catalytic properties of TiO2 to significantly expand the scope of imines. Our work suggests that the synthetic applications of TiO2 photocatalysis can be achievable under mild conditions by exploring the excellent functionalities of TiO2.
