Schiff bases that are generally formed from condensation reactions of aldehydes (or ketones) and amino groups could also be produced by a photodriven one-pot tandem reaction between alcohols and nitro compounds, in our case. Herein, TiO2-x porous cages derived from NH2-MIL-125 by a self-sacrificing template route are used to study the organic transformation and exhibit 100% conversion efficiency of nitrobenzene and 100% selectivity for Schiff bases in the system of benzyl alcohol (5 mL) and nitrobenzene (41 μL) upon light irradiation, but hydrogen by dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol cannot be detected. Successful occurrence of the organic transformation is mainly attributed to Ti(III)-oxygen vacancy associates. Surface oxygen vacancy-related Ti(III) sites are responsible for binding with nitro groups, and low-coordinated Ti5c sites selectively adsorb hydroxyl groups of benzyl alcohol. The Ti(III) and oxygen vacancy associates capture photogenerated electrons for achievement of multielectron reduction of nitrobenzene and the subsequent Schiff base condensation reaction with the as-formed benzaldehyde.

The selective synthesis of imines from biomass-derived chemicals over heterogeneous non-noble metal catalysts is of great importance for organic transformation. Herein, non-noble heterogeneous nitrogen-doped carbon supported Ni catalysts (abbreviated as Ni/CN-MgO-T, whereTrepresents the pyrolysis temperature) have been facilely prepared from the simple pyrolysis of Ni precursors and biomass, and Ni/CN-MgO-600 with the smallest size of Ni nanoparticles demonstrated the highest catalytic activity. The reductive coupling of nitroarenes and carbonyl compounds could be performed under mild conditions (80 °C, and 10 bar H2), affording structurally-diverse imines with high to excellent yields (84.2-98.1%). Thanks to the mild reaction conditions, the developed method showed good tolerance to other functional groups such as nitriles, halogen and vinyl groups.
Iron-Catalyzed Hydrogen Transfer Reduction of Nitroarenes with Alcohols: Synthesis of Imines and Aza Heterocycles

A straightforward and selective reduction of nitroarenes with various alcohols was efficiently developed using an iron catalyst via a hydrogen transfer methodology. This protocol led specifically to imines in 30-91% yields, with a good functional group tolerance. Noticeably, starting from o-nitroaniline derivatives, in the presence of alcohols, benzimidazoles can be obtained in 64-72% yields when the reaction was performed with an additional oxidant, DDQ, and quinoxalines were prepared from 1,2-diols in 28-96% yields. This methodology, unprecedented at iron for imines, also provides a sustainable alternative for the preparation of quinoxalines and benzimidazoles.
