The first examples of titanium-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation reactions of ethylene with secondary amines are presented. The reactions can be achieved with various titanium catalysts and they do not require the use of high pressure equipment. In addition, the first solid-state structure of a titanapyrrolidine that is formed by insertion of an alkene into the Ti?C bond of a titanaaziridine is reported.

Here we describe a one-pot, three-enzyme, cascade involving a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, an alcohol dehydrogenase and a reductive aminase for the synthesis of secondary amines from cycloalkanes. Amine product concentrations of up to 19.6 mM were achieved. The preparative scale amination of cyclohexane was also demonstrated with a space-time yield of 2 g L-1 d-1.
One-step asymmetric synthesis of (R)- and (S)-rasagiline by reductive amination applying imine reductases

Imine reductases (IREDs) show great potential as catalysts for reductive amination of ketones to produce chiral secondary amines. In this work, we explored this potential and synthesized the pharmaceutically relevant (R)-rasagiline in high yields (up to 81%) and good enantiomeric excess (up to 90% ee) from the ketone precursor. This one-step approach in aqueous medium represents the shortest synthesis route from achiral starting materials. Furthermore, we demonstrate for the first time that tertiary amines also can be accessed by this route, which provides new opportunities for eco-friendly enzymatic asymmetric syntheses of these important molecules.
