An example of homogeneous Mo-catalyzed direct N-alkylation of anilines or nitroarenes with alcohols is presented. The DFT aimed design suggested the easily accessible bis-NHC-Mo(0) complex features a strong hydride-donating ability, achieving effective N-alkylation of anilines or challenging nitroarenes with alcohols. The enhanced hydride-donating strategy should be useful in designing highly active systems for borrowing hydrogen transformations.

Ba metal was activated by evaporation and cocondensation with heptane. This black powder is a highly active hydrogenation catalyst for the reduction of a variety of unactivated (non-conjugated) mono-, di- and tri-substituted alkenes, tetraphenylethylene, benzene, a number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aldimines, ketimines and various pyridines. The performance of metallic Ba in hydrogenation catalysis tops that of the hitherto most active molecular group 2 metal catalysts. Depending on the substrate, two different catalytic cycles are proposed. A: a classical metal hydride cycle and B: the Ba metal cycle. The latter is proposed for substrates that are easily reduced by Ba0, that is, conjugated alkenes, alkynes, annulated rings, imines and pyridines. In addition, a mechanism in which Ba0 and BaH2 are both essential is discussed. DFT calculations on benzene hydrogenation with a simple model system (Ba/BaH2) confirm that the presence of metallic Ba has an accelerating effect.

Reaction of a MgN“2/BaN”2 mixture (N“=N(SiMe3)2) with PhSiH3 gave three unique heterometallic Mg/Ba hydride clusters: Mg5Ba4H11N”7 ? (benzene)2 (1), Mg4Ba7H13N“9 ? (toluene)2 (2) and Mg7Ba12H26N”12 (3). Product formation is controlled by the Mg/Ba ratio and temperature. Crystal structures are described. While 3 is fully insoluble, clusters 1 and 2 retain their structures in aromatic solvents. DFT calculations and AIM analyses indicate highly ionic bonding with Mg?H and Ba?H bond paths. Also unusual H????H? bond paths are observed. Catalytic hydrogenation with MgN“2, BaN”2 and the mixture MgN“2/BaN”2 has been studied. Whereas MgN“2 is only active in imine hydrogenation, alkene and alkyne hydrogenation needs the presence of Ba. The catalytic activity of the MgN”2/BaN“2 mixture lies in general between that of its individual components and strong cooperative effects are not evident.
