- α-Alkylation of arylacetonitriles with primary alcohols catalyzed by backbone modified N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(i) complexes
-
A series of backbone-modified N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of iridium(i) (1d-f) have been synthesized and characterized. The electronic properties of the NHC ligands have been assessed by comparison of the IR carbonyl stretching frequencies of thein situprepared [IrCl(CO)2(NHC)] complexes in CH2Cl2. These new complexes (1d-f), together with previously prepared1a-c, were applied as catalysts for the α-alkylation of arylacetonitriles with an equimolar amount of primary alcohols or 2-aminobenzyl alcohol. The catalytic activities of these complexes could be controlled by modifying the N-substituents and backbone of the NHC ligands. The NHC-IrIcomplex1fbearing 4-methoxybenzyl substituents on the N-atoms and 4-methoxyphenyl groups at the 4,5-positions of imidazole exhibited the highest catalytic activity in the α-alkylation of arylacetonitriles with primary alcohols. Various α-alkylated nitriles and aminoquinolines were obtained in high yields through a borrowing hydrogen pathway by using 0.1 mol%1fand a catalytic amount of KOH (5 mol%) under an air atmosphere within significantly short reaction times.

- α-Alkylation of Nitriles with Alcohols Catalyzed by NNN′ Pincer Ru(II) Complexes Bearing Bipyridyl Imidazoline Ligands
-
A series of unsymmetrical NNN′ ruthenium(II) complexes supported by a tridentate bipyridyl imidazoline ligand with variable steric hindrance (2a-c; R1 = tBu, iPr, or Bn) and electronic effect (2d-h; R2 = H, CH3, OCH3, Br, or NO2) were prepared. The molecular structures of ligands 1f and 1g, and Ru complex 2a were further determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The catalytic activity of these eight complexes for α-alkylation of nitriles with alcohols was evaluated, which could be controlled by the substituents on the imidazoline moiety. Ru complex 2h bearing a strong electron-withdrawing group (R2 = NO2) demonstrated the highest catalytic activity, with alkylated nitriles achieved in up to 97% yield.

- Palladium-catalyzed chemoselective intramolecular cyclization of 2-bromoaryl alkenenitriles
-
The chemoselectivity in the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 2-(o-bromoaryl)alkenenitriles depends on the nature of α-substitutents. 2-(o-Bromoanilino)alkenenitriles attacked the cyano group, followed by the cyano group transposition and
