Herein, we report pyridine and other similar azaaromatics as efficient biomimetic hydrogen shuttles for a transition-metal-free direct N-alkylation of aryl and heteroaryl amines using a variety of benzylic and straight chain alcohols. Mechanistic studies including deuterium labeling and the isolation of dihydro-intermediates of the benzannulated pyridine confirmed the role of pyridine and a borrowing hydrogen process operating in these reactions. In addition, we have extended this methodology for the development of dehydrogenative synthesis of quinolines and indoles, as well as the transfer hydrogenation of ketones. This journal is

A novel electrochemical synthesis protocol has been achieved for reductive amination between aldehydes and amines in undivided cells at room temperature. Under metal-free and external-reductant-free electrolysis conditions, various important secondary amine products are obtained in moderate-to-high yields. Deuterium-labeling experiments have demonstrated that low-toxicity DMSO acts both as a solvent and a H-donor in the reaction. On this basis, various deuterium-labeled products with good-to-excellent D-incorporation have been synthesized by using DMSO-d6 as a solvent. Furthermore, a molecule with GR-antagonistic activity has been synthesized through further sulfonylation.
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.
