A new type of chiral super Br?nsted C-H acids, BINOL-derived phosphoryl bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl) methanes (BPTMs), were developed. As compared to widely utilized BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acids (BPAs) and N-Triflyl phosphoramides (NTPAs), BPTMs displayed much higher Br?nsted acidity, resulting in dramatically improved activity and excellent enantioselectivity as demonstrated in catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama-Mannich reaction, allylic amination, three-component coupling of allyltrimethylsilane with 9-fluorenylmethyl carbamate and aldehydes, and protonation of silyl enol ether. These new strong Br?nsted C-H acids have provided a platform for expanding the chemistry of asymmetric Br?nsted acid catalysis.

The traditional Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction represents one of the most powerful tools for imine formation. However, for this multistep procedure, the sacrificial phosphine has to be used, resulting in difficulties in the purification process and waste disposal at the same time. Here, we report a redox-neutral azide-alcohol imination methodology enabled by a base-metal nickel PN3 pincer catalyst. The one-step, waste-free, and high atom-economical features highlight its advantages further. Moreover, mechanistic insight suggests a non-metal-ligand cooperation pathway based on the observation of an intermediate and density functional theory calculations.

One-pot direct synthesis of imines via reductive amination of nitroarenes with aromatic aldehydes remains a great challenge due in part to its over-hydrogenation of imines to secondary amines. Herein, a novel Co3ZnC and ZnO supported on N-doped carbon nanosheet catalyst with the thickness of ca. 5.0 nm was fabricated through the direct pyrolysis of a Co/Zn bimetallic MOFs at 500 °C (named as Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500). Surprisingly, the developed Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst delivers 99.9 % conversion of nitrobenzene and 98.5 % selectivity to N-benzylideneaniline in one-pot reductive amination of nitrobenzene with benzaldehyde. Various characterizations (including as SEM, XRD, TEM, AFM, XPS, Raman and N2 adsorption–desorption) have revealed that the generated small size of Co3ZnC alloy, abundant structural defects, larger specific surface area (105.5 m2·g?1) as well as more basic sites are responsible for the outstanding catalytic activity of Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst for tandem reaction. Moreover, the Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst exhibits high stability during the recycling experiments without the loss of its catalytic activity. Notably, the results of contrast experiments have demonstrated that the intentional introduction of ZnO in Co3ZnC-ZnO/NC-500 catalyst plays a key role in the selectivity to N-benzylideneaniline in the tandem reaction. This study provides a new guideline for designing tandem catalysts with high selectivity.
