- Ruthenium-Pincer-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Lactams to Amino Alcohols
-
By using the commercially available ruthenium pincer complex (Ru-MACHO-BH) as a catalyst, the challenging direct hydrogenation of lactams and analogues has been successfully accomplished to deliver corresponding value-added amino alcohols in good-to-excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Remarkably, in addition to N-protected lactams, unprotected ones could also be readily reduced in the presence of a catalytic amount of weak base or even under neutral reaction conditions, which further highlights the broad substrate scope and the protocol efficiency.

- Synthesis of N-aryl pyridin-2-ones via ligand coupling reactions using pentavalent organobismuth reagents
-
An efficient method for the synthesis of N-aryl pyridin-2-ones was established by way of ligand coupling reactions using pentavalent organobismuth reagents such as triarylbismuth dichlorides. Copyright

- A general and efficient copper catalyst for the amidation of aryl halides
-
An experimentally simple and inexpensive catalyst system was developed for the amidation of aryl halides by using 0.2-10 mol % of Cul, 5-20 mol % of a 1,2-diamine ligand, and K3PO4, K2CO3, or Cs2CO3 as base. Catalyst systems based on N, N′-dimethylethylenediamine or trans-N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine were found to be the most active even though several other 1,2-diamine ligands could be used in the easiest cases. Aryl iodides, bromides, and in some cases even aryl chlorides can be efficiently amidated. A variety of functional groups are tolerated in the reaction, including many that are not compatible with Pd-catalyzed amidation or amination methodology.
