- Selective one-pot synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines via N-alkylation of nitriles with alcohols
-
The synthesis of asymmetric secondary amines (ASA) is commonly achieved by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols. Here, we investigated the ASA synthesis via the direct amination of alcohols with nitriles, which avoids the synthesis, separation and purification of the primary amines in a first step. Specifically, the ASA synthesis via N-alkylation of butyronitrile (BN) with primary (n-propanol, iso-butanol and n-octanol) and secondary (2‐propanol, 2‐butanol and 2‐octanol) alcohols was studied on SiO2-supported Co, Ni and Ru catalysts. Competitive BN hydrogenation‐condensation reactions formed dibutylamine (the symmetric secondary amine) and tertiary amines as main secondary products. On Co/SiO2, the ASA selectivities for BN/primary alcohol reactions were between 49 and 58% at complete BN conversion, forming dibutylamine and tertiary amines as byproducts. For BN/secondary alcohol reactions, Co/SiO2 formed selectively (ASA + dibutylamine) mixtures containing 78–85% of ASA, thereby showing that the alcohol amination with nitriles is an attractive alternative route for the synthesis of valuable asymmetric secondary amines.

- Mild Hydrogenation of Amides to Amines over a Platinum-Vanadium Bimetallic Catalyst
-
Hydrogenation of amides to amines is an important reaction, but the need for high temperatures and H2 pressures is a problem. Catalysts that are effective under mild reaction conditions, that is, lower than 30 bar H2 and 70 °C, have not yet been reported. Here, the mild hydrogenation of amides was achieved for the first time by using a Pt-V bimetallic catalyst. Amide hydrogenation, at either 1 bar H2 at 70 °C or 5 bar H2 at room temperature was achieved using the bimetallic catalyst. The mild reaction conditions enable highly selective hydrogenation of various amides to the corresponding amines, while inhibiting arene hydrogenation. Catalyst characterization showed that the origin of the catalytic activity for the bimetallic catalyst is the oxophilic V-decorated Pt nanoparticles, which are 2 nm in diameter.

- Catalytic hydrogenation of amides to amines under mild conditions
-
Under (not so much) pressure: A general method for the hydrogenation of tertiary and secondary amides to amines with excellent selectivity using a bimetallic Pd-Re catalyst has been developed. The reaction proceeds under low pressure and comparatively low temperature. This method provides organic chemists with a simple and reliable tool for the synthesis of amines. Copyright

- ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTIVE AMINATION. II. AMINATION OF ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDES WITH PRIMARY AMINES
-
The formation of a secondary amine by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution containing an aldehyde and a primary amine was studied.The formation of the secondary amines passes through the intermediate stage of an aldimine.The highest yield of secondary amine is attained at a molar ratio of primary amine to aldehyde of 1.2:1.As electrode material lead, cadmium, zinc, and copper may be used.As supporting electrolyte a phosphate buffer with a pH close to the pKa of the primary amine is recommended.By the method developed 32 amines with various structures were synthesized.

- The selective preparation of n-propylamines by the rhodium catalysed reaction of ethylene and syngas with alkylamines
-
The aminoethylation of ethylene with a primary amine has been shown to provide a highly selective route to n-propylamines; the rhodium catalysed reaction of n-propylamine with ethylene and syngas (2/1, H2/CO) affords di-n-propylamine with 98percent selectivity (with respect to ethylene).The reaction of amines of the type RR1NH with the ethylene/syngas mixture and a rhodium catalyst provides a highly selective and general route to the n-propylamines RR1NPr (R=Pr, R1=H; R=t-Bu, R1=H; R=n-Bu, R1=H; R=C8H17, R1=H, R=R1=Pr; R=HOCH2Ch2, R1=H, and R=PhCH(OH)CH2, R1=H).
