Cyclometalated hexacarbonyldiiron complex 2, which derived from N-(2-thienylmethylidene)aniline, undergoes (1) thermolysis to recover the original Schiff base 1, (2) reduction to form a hydrogenation product of the original thienyl Schiff base 3, (3) substitution to form a phosphine-substituted complex 4, and (4) chemical as well as electrochemical oxidation to produce a γ-lactam 5.

Catalytic dehydrogenation (CD)viavisible-light photoredox catalysis provides an efficient route for the synthesis of aromatic compounds. However, access toN-aryl amines, which are widely utilized synthetic moieties,viavisible-light-induced CD remains a significant challenge, because of the difficulty in controlling the reactivity of amines under photocatalytic conditions. Here, the visible-light-induced photocatalytic synthesis ofN-aryl amines was achieved by the CD of allylic amines. The unusual strategy using C6F5I as an hydrogen-atom acceptor enables the mild and controlled CD of amines bearing various functional groups and activated C-H bonds, suppressing side-reaction of the reactiveN-aryl amine products. Thorough mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of single-electron and hydrogen-atom transfers in a well-defined order to provide a synergistic effect in the control of the reactivity. Notably, the back-electron transfer process prevents the desired product from further reacting under oxidative conditions.

A versatile metal- and base-free direct reductive amination of aldehydes with amines using formic acid as a reductant under the catalysis of inexpensive BF3·Et2O has been developed. A wide range of primary and secondary amines and diversely substituted aldehydes are compatible with this transformation, allowing facile access to various secondary and tertiary amines in high yields with wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, the method is convenient for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds and preparation of commercialized drug molecules and biologically relevant N-heterocycles. The procedure has the advantages of simple operation and workup and easy scale-up, and does not require dry conditions, an inert atmosphere or a water scavenger. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of imine activation by BF3and hydride transfer from formic acid.
