The synthesis of complex molecules like active pharmaceutical ingredients typically requires multiple single-step reactions, in series or in a modular fashion, with laborious purification and potentially unstable intermediates. Cascade processes offer attractive synthetic remediation as they reduce time, energy, and waste associated with multistep syntheses. For example, triarylmethanes are traditionally prepared via several synthetic steps, and only a handful of cascade routes are known with limitations due to high catalyst loadings. Here, we present an expedient catalytic cascade process to produce triarylmethanes. For this purpose, we have developed a bifunctional iridium system as the efficient catalyst to build heterotriaryl synthons via reductive Friedel-Crafts alkylation from ketones, arenes, and hydrogen. The catalytically active species were generated in situ from a robust triazolyl iridium(III) hydride complex and acid and is composed of a metal-bound hydride and a proximal ligand-bound proton for reversible dihydrogen release. These complexes catalyze the direct hydrogenation of ketones at slow rates followed by dehydration. Appropriate adjustment of the conditions successfully intercepts this dehydration and leads instead to efficient C-C coupling and Friedel-Crafts alkylation. The scope of this cascade process includes a variety of carbonyl substrates such as aldehydes, (alkyl)(aryl)ketones, and diaryl ketones as precursor electrophiles with arenes and heteroarenes for Friedel-Crafts coupling. The reported method has been validated in a swift one-step synthesis of the core structure of a potent antibacterial agent. Excellent yields and exquisite selectivities were achieved for this cascade process with unprecedentedly low iridium loadings (0.02 mol %). Moreover, the catalytic activity of the protic system is significantly higher than that of an N-methylated analogue, confirming the benefit of the Ir-H/N-H hydride-proton system for high catalytic performance.

Transition metal compounds have emerged as suitable catalysts for organic reactions. Magnetic compounds as soft Lewis acids can be used as catalysts for organic reactions. In this report, the Fe3O4 nanostructures were obtained from Fe2+ and Fe3+-salts, under an external magnetic field (EMF) without any protective agent. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy tools were used to characterize these magnetic compounds. The two-dimensional (2-D, it showed nanometric size in the two dimensions, nanorod structure) Fe3O4 compound showed high catalytic activity and stability in N- and C-alkylation reactions. A diverse range of N- and C-alkylation products were obtained in moderate to high yield under green and mild conditions in air. Also the N- and C-alkylation products can be obtained with different selectivity and yield by exposure reactions with EMF. Results of alkylation reactions showed that the presence of Fe(II) and Fe(III) species on the surface of magnetic catalysts (phase structure of magnetic compounds) are essential as very cheap active sites. Also, morphology of magnetic catalysts had influence on their catalytic performances. After the reaction, the catalyst/product(s) separation could be easily achieved with an external magnet and more than 95% of catalyst could be recovered. The catalyst was reused at least four times without any loss of its high catalytic activity for N- and C-alkylation reactions.
