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.

The utility and selectivity of the newly synthesized dinuclear arene Ru(II) complex were demonstrated towards the synthesis of imines from coupling of alcohols and amines in the aerobic condition. Analytical and various spectral methods have been used to establish the unprecedented formation of the new thiolato-bridged dinuclear ruthenium complex. The molecular structure of the titled complex was evidenced with aid of X-ray crystallographic technique. A wide range of imines were obtained in good-to-excellent yields up to 98% and water as the by-product through an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with amines. The catalytic reaction operated a concise atom economical without any oxidant with 1 mol% of the catalyst load. Further, the role of base, solvent and catalyst loading of the coupling reaction has been investigated. A plausible mechanism has been described and was found to proceed via the formation of an aldehyde intermediate. Short synthesis of antibacterial drug N-(salicylidene)-2-hydroxyaniline illustrated the utility of the present protocol.

Direct oxidative coupling of alcohols with amines using a non-precious metal oxide catalyst under mild conditions is highly desirable for imine synthesis. In this work, a mesoporous Mn1ZrxOysolid solution catalyst prepared by a co-precipitation method showed excellent catalytic performance in imine synthesis from primary alcohols and amines without base additives in an air atmosphere. XRD, N2physisorption, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, EPR and XPS were comprehensively used to unravel its structural, redox and amphoteric properties that closely depended on the interaction between MnOyand ZrO2with a variable Zr ratio. The Mn1Zr0.5Oycatalyst presented the highest fractions of Mn3+ions and reactive oxygen species on the surface, and the highest concentrations of acidic-basic sites, which were disclosed to play important roles in activating alcohols and molecular O2in the rate-determining step. In the model reaction of oxidative coupling of benzyl alcohol with aniline, such enhanced features of the Mn1Zr0.5Oycatalyst can promote the intrinsic catalytic activity (iTOF of 1.87 h?1) and boost benzylideneaniline formation (5.56 mmol gcat.?1h?1) based on a >99% yield at 80 °C respectively at a fast response. It can also work effectively at a room temperature of 30 °C, as well as for the gram-grade synthesis. This is one of the best results among all the MnOy-based catalysts in the literature. Moreover, this catalyst showed good stability and a wide substrate scope with good to excellent yields of imines.
