The conversion of aldehydes and ketones to 1° amines could be promoted by half-sandwich iridium complexes using ammonium formate as both the nitrogen and hydride source. To optimize this method for green chemical synthesis, we tested various carbonyl substrates in common polar solvents at physiological temperature (37 °C) and ambient pressure. We found that in methanol, excellent selectivity for the amine over alcohol/amide products could be achieved for a broad assortment of carbonyl-containing compounds. In aqueous media, selective reduction of carbonyls to 1° amines was achieved in the absence of acids. Unfortunately, at Ir catalyst concentrations of 1 mM in water, reductive amination efficiency dropped significantly, which suggest that this catalytic methodology might be not suitable for aqueous applications where very low catalyst concentration is required (e.g., inside living cells).

A β-mesylation of primary sp3 C-H bonds from simple amides with methanesulfonic anhydride (Ms2O) has been established successfully at 80 °C in a Pd(OAc)2 (catalyst)/K2S2O8 (oxidant)/CF3CH2OH (solvent) system. These amide substrates involve N-monosubstituted linear, branch, or cyclic alkanes, and electron-deficient benzyl compounds. The β-mesylated amide products can be converted easily to β-fluoroamides or β-lactams through inter- or intramolecular SN2 processes.
Stereoelectronic effects in the reaction of aromatic substrates catalysed by: Halomonas elongata transaminase and its mutants

A transaminase from Halomonas elongata and four mutants generated by an in silico-based design were recombinantly produced in E. coli, purified and applied to the amination of mono-substituted aromatic carbonyl-derivatives. While benzaldehyde derivatives were excellent substrates, only NO2-acetophenones were transformed into the (S)-amine with a high enantioselectivity. The different behaviour of wild-type and mutated transaminases was assessed by in silico substrate binding mode studies.
