- Switchable Imine and Amine Synthesis Catalyzed by a Well-Defined Cobalt Complex
-
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.

- Bidentate geometry-constrained iminopyridyl nickel-catalyzed synthesis of amines or imines via borrowing hydrogen or dehydrogenative condensation
-
The efficient Ni-catalyzed N-alkylation of various anilines with alcohols via borrowing hydrogen is reported using a bidentate geometry-constrained iminopyridyl nickel complex as the catalyst. Substituted benzylic alcohols and short/long chain aliphatic alcohols could be applied as the alkylation sources to couple with aromatic and heteroaromatic amines to give a diverse set of N-alkylation outcomes in moderate to excellent yields. The nickel catalytic system was also suitable for aliphatic amines, selectively delivering the corresponding imines via an acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation strategy.

- Trisaminocyclopropenium Cations as Small-Molecule Organic Fluorophores: Design Guidelines and Bioimaging Applications
-
The discovery of fluorescence two centuries ago ushered in, what is today, an illuminating field of science rooted in the rational design of photochromic molecules for task-specific bio-, material-, and medical-driven applications. Today, this includes applications in bioimaging and diagnosis, photodynamic therapy regimes, in addition to photovoltaic devices and solar cells, among a vast multitude of other usages. In furthering this indispensable area of daily life and modern-day scientific research, we report herein the synthesis of a class of trisaminocyclopropenium fluorophores along with a systematic investigation of their unique molecular and electronic dependent photophysical properties. Among these fluorophores, tris[N(naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)phenylamino] cyclopropenium chloride (TNTPC) displayed a strong photophysical profile including a 0.92 quantum yield ascribed to intramolecular charge transfer and intramolecular through-space conjugation. Moreover, this cyclopropenium-based fluorophore functions as a competent imaging agent for DNA visualization and nuclear counterstaining in cell culture. To facilitate the broader use of these compounds, design principles supported by density functional theory calculations for engineering analogs of this class of fluorophores are offered. Collectively, this study adds to the burgeoning interest in cyclopropenium compounds and their unique properties as fluorophores with uses in bioimaging applications.

- Alcohol Amination Catalyzed by Copper Powder as a Self-Supported Catalyst
-
Catalytic alcohol amination is a sustainable reaction for N-alkyl amine synthesis. Homogeneous and supported copper catalysts have long been studied for this reaction and have given some impressive results. In this study, copper powder is found to behave as an active catalyst for alcohol amination, giving better catalytic performance than metal-oxide-supported nanocopper catalysts. Catalyst characterization suggests that the copper powder can be considered as a self-supported nanocopper catalyst (i.e., nanocopper supported on copper particles). These results might promote the study of unsupported transition metal powders in sustainable catalytic reactions.

-
In this study, a well-defined, novel NHC-Ni complex was developed and used to catalyze the N-arylation of alkyl- and arylamines with arylboronic acids in a rare version of Chan-Lam coupling. Although the same coupling using copper catalysts has been widely studied, the nickel-catalyzed version is rare and normally requires 10–20 mol% catalyst loading. This novel NHC-Ni complex in combination with 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, however, proved to be an effective catalyst that lowered the required catalyst loading to only 2.0 mol%.

- Efficient nickel-catalysed: N -alkylation of amines with alcohols
-
The selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen strategy represents a prominent sustainable catalytic method, which produces water as the only by-product and is ideally suited for the catalytic transformation of widely available alcohol reaction partners that can be derived from renewable resources. Intensive research has been devoted to the development of novel catalysts that are mainly based on expensive noble metals. However, the availability of homogeneous or heterogeneous non-precious metal catalysts for this transformation is very limited. Herein we present a highly active and remarkably easy-to-prepare Ni based catalyst system for the selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols, that is in situ generated from Ni(COD)2 and KOH under ligand-free conditions. This novel method is very efficient for the functionalization of aniline and derivatives with a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols as well as diols and exhibits excellent functional group tolerance including halides, benzodioxane and heteroaromatic groups. Several TEM measurements combined with elemental analysis were conducted in order to gain insight into the nature of the active catalyst and factors influencing reactivity.

The first cobalt-catalyzed hydrogenative N-methylation and alkylation of amines with readily available carboxylic acid feedstocks as alkylating agents and H2 as ideal reductant is described. Combination of tailor-made triphos ligands with cobalt(II) tetrafluoroborate significantly improved the efficiency, thus promoting the reaction under milder conditions. This novel protocol allows for a broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance, even in the presence of reducible alkenes, esters, and amides.

- An Efficient Homogenized Ruthenium(II) Pincer Complex for N-Monoalkylation of Amines with Alcohols
-
An ionic 2,6-bis(imidazo[1,2-α]pyridin-2-yl)pyridine-based N^N^N pincer ruthenium(II) complex exhibited high efficiency in the C–N bond formation between amines and alcohols by the “borrowing hydrogen” (BH) or “hydrogen autotransfer” (HA) concept. The synthetic protocol selectively generated monoalkylated amines without formation of tertiary amines during the reaction. The unique selectivity enabled the formation of symmetrically and asymmetrically substituted diamines. This methodology features several advantages including a low catalyst loading (as low as 0.5 mol-%), a short reaction time (as short as 2 h), and excellent N-monoalkylation selectivity.

Based on the hemilability, a novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-nitrogen-phosphine ligand (1) was synthesized, and the combination of it with [Ru(COD)Cl2]n showed the high activity and selectivity with a low Ru loading of 0.1% for the N-alkylation of amine with alcohol. Especially, for these substrates with pyridine backbone, even if the catalyst loading was as low as 0.01%, good yields (81–95%) of the desired products were achieved.

- A triazine-phosphite polymeric ligand bearing cage-like P,N-ligation sites: An efficient ligand in the nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides and phenols
-
A novel P,N-ligand was introduced for efficient Ni-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides. Reaction of cyanuric acid (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triol) and trichlorophosphine (PCl3) resulted in the production of a new porous material (TPPM) containing triazine rings with phosphite moieties in a sheet morphology. Cavities in the prepared compound create sites on the surface of the material with appropriate ligation character to coordinate with metals for catalytic purposes. The nickel-catalyzed amination of aryl chlorides and of phenols in their 2,4,6-triaryloxy-1,3,5-triazine (TAT) protected form were efficiently accomplished in the presence of this easily prepared and reusable P,N-ligand under mild reaction conditions. More importantly, TPPM was reusable for 5 iterations following this protocol without significantly decreasing in its activity.

An efficient catalytic system for the alkylation of amines with either alcohols or amines under mild conditions has been developed, using cyclometallated iridium complexes as catalysts. The method has broad substrate scope, allowing for the synthesis of a diverse range of secondary and tertiary amines with good to excellent yields. By controlling the ratio of substrates, both mono- and bis-alkylated amines can be obtained with high selectivity. In particular, methanol can be used as the alkylating reagent, affording N-methylated products selectively. A strong solvent effect is observed for the reaction.

- Synthesis of three novel anionic gemini surfactants and comparative studies of their assemble behavior in the presence of bovine serum albumin
-
Three novel anionic sulfonate gemini surfactants, sodium 4,4′-(10,19-dioxo-9,11,18,20-tetraazaoctacosane-9,20-diyl) dibenzenesulfonate (Surfactant I), sodium 4,4′-(12,21-dioxo-11,13,20,22- tetraazadotriacontane-11,22-diyl) dibenzenesulfonate (Surfactant II), and sodium 4,4′-(14,23-dioxo-13,15,22,24-tetraazahezatriacontane-13,24-diyl) dibenzenesulfonate (Surfactant III), with different lengths of hydrophobic tail have been synthesized, and their assembly behavior in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied using spectral methods and molecular modeling methods at physiological pH and 298 K. Critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of the three surfactants have been determined by surface tension measurements. Despite the obvious decrease of CMC with the increase of tail length, fluorescence spectra have shown much closer CAC in the presence of BSA. Surfactant II shows the highest CAC of 3.19 × 10-5 mol L -1 compared with the other two. The polarity of the microenvironment in BSA-surfactant systems has been investigated using pyrene as the probe. In addition, far-UV CD spectra studied the change of the secondary structure content of BSA caused by the three surfactants. The features of the assembly behavior were discussed by three concentration regions. Surfactant II could unfold the protein much more efficiently than the other two surfactants at low concentration, but at high concentration, the change of the secondary structure and the formation of hydrophobic microenvironment show a direct relationship to the length of the hydrophobic tail with the increase of the surfactant concentration.

- Selective N-alkylation of amines using nitriles under hydrogenation conditions: Facile synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines
-
Nitriles were found to be highly effective alkylating reagents for the selective N-alkylation of amines under catalytic hydrogenation conditions. For the aromatic primary amines, the corresponding secondary amines were selectively obtained under Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. Although the use of electron poor aromatic amines or bulky nitriles showed a lower reactivity toward the reductive alkylation, the addition of NH4OAc enhanced the reactivity to give secondary aromatic amines in good to excellent yields. Under the same reaction conditions, aromatic nitro compounds instead of the aromatic primary amines could be directly transformed into secondary amines via a domino reaction involving the one-pot hydrogenation of the nitro group and the reductive alkylation of the amines. While aliphatic amines were effectively converted to the corresponding tertiary amines under Pd/C-catalyzed conditions, Rh/C was a highly effective catalyst for the N-monoalkylation of aliphatic primary amines without over-alkylation to the tertiary amines. Furthermore, the combination of the Rh/C-catalyzed N-monoalkylation of the aliphatic primary amines and additional Pd/C-catalyzed alkylation of the resulting secondary aliphatic amines could selectively prepare aliphatic tertiary amines possessing three different alkyl groups. According to the mechanistic studies, it seems reasonable to conclude that nitriles were reduced to aldimines before the nucleophilic attack of the amine during the first step of the reaction.

A remarkable feature is that the processes were carried out in the absence of base, phosphine, or any other external additive. A comparative study with other known catalysts, such as Shvo's catalyst, is also reported.

- Microwave-assisted catalytic intermolecular hydroamination of alkynes
-
Irradiation of reaction mixtures containing an alkyne, an amine, and a catalytic amount of Cp2TiMe2 in toluene with microwaves at a frequency of 2.45 GHz and a power output of 180-300 W results in fast reactions to give the corresponding hydroamination products. The initially formed imines can easily be reduced to secondary amines by use of H2/Pd, LiAlH4, or NaCNBH3/p-TsOH. The microwave-assisted hydroamination reactions go to completion within one tenth (or less) of the time required for reactions run conventionally in an oil bath at 105 °C. By using the microwave technology, it is possible to achieve turnover frequencies TOF > 10 h-1. Furthermore, when Cp2TiMe2 is used as the catalyst, hydroamination products of terminal alkynes can be isolated in reasonable yields for the first time. The addition of amines to terminal alkynes gives access to both the Markovnikov and the anti-Markovnikov products. Observed regioselectivities are different for terminal aryl- and alkylalkynes.
