镁铝酸碱双功能氧化物催化剂上醇胺氧化耦合合成亚胺性能（英文）

亚胺是一类重要的含氮有机化合物,由于具有不饱和C=N双键,可以作为一种有效的氮源,用于一系列含氮衍生物的合成.目前合成亚胺的工艺路线主要是通过羰基化合物和一级胺在强酸条件下缩合;与该路线相比,醇和胺在空气或氧气存在条件下耦合是一条更为绿色的工艺路线,其副产物只有水产生.目前的报道表明,一些具有氧化还原性质的催化剂,如负载型贵金属催化剂和负载型过渡金属氧化物催化剂在该反应中表现出一定催化性能,但很少关注表面酸碱性质对该反应性能的影响.在本工作中,我们尝试将具有酸碱双功能性质的Mg-Al复合氧化物作为催化剂用于该反应中,考察了Mg/Al比、焙烧温度和后处理条件对催化性能的影响.结果显示,Mg/Al=3的催化剂在反应中表现出最优的催化活性;NH_3-TPD和CO_2-TPD显示,随着镁含量的增加,样品表面碱性中心的数量呈现出先增加后减少的趋势,其中Mg/Al=3的样品表面酸、碱总量最大,而且该样品表面弱碱中心数量也最多;我们通过焙烧和探针分子吸附等后处理手段进一步调控了催化剂表面的酸碱性质,初步结果表明在酸碱中心的协同作用下可以有效地催化醇和胺的氧化耦合反应;其中弱碱性位可能是活化醇的主要活性中心,而醇的氧化是该反应的速控步骤,因此可以推测表面弱碱中心的数量在一定程度上决定着催化剂在该反应中的性能.

γ-A12O3改性对AlCl3/γ-Al2O3催化剂性能的影响

本文中,采用HCl和NaOH改性 γ-A12O3载体制备AlCl3/γ-A12O3固载催化剂,用吡啶-FTIR和吡啶-TPD技术分析了催化剂的表面酸性(酸中心类型、酸强度和酸量),并以1-癸烯齐聚作为探针反应,研究了催化剂的稳定性以及催化剂对聚合反应的影响。结果表明,催化剂含有两种酸类型,即Lewis酸和Brönsted酸,与未改性的催化剂相比,氢氧化钠改性载体制备的催化剂,酸量增大了47%,催化剂催化1-癸烯的齐聚反应活性增加了11.4%;而经盐酸改性制备的催化剂酸量增大112%,催化剂的活性增加了33.6%。酸强度依AlCl3/γ-A12O3,AlCl3/γ-Al2O3(NaOH),AlCl3/γ-Al2O3(HCl)的顺序增强。

One pot synthesis of N-ethylaniline from nitrobenzene and ethanol

A novel method for the one pot synthesis of N-alkyl arylamines from nitro aromatic compounds and alcohols is proposed through the combination of the aqueous-phase reforming of alcohol for hydrogen production, the reduction of nitro aromatic compounds for the synthesis of aromatic amine and the N-alkylation of aromatic amine for the production of N-alkyl arylamine over an identical catalyst under the same conditions of temperature and pressure in a single reactor. In this process, hydrogen generated from the aqueous-phase reforming of alcohols was used in-situ for the hydrogenation of nitro aromatic compounds for aromatic amine synthesis, followed by N-alkylation of aromatic amine with alcohols to form the corresponding N-alkyl arylamines at a low partial pressure of hydrogen. For the system composed of nitrobenzene and ethanol, under the conditions of 413 K and PN2 = 1 MPa, the conversion degrees of nitrobenzene and aniline were 100%, the selectivity to N-ethylaniline and N, N-diethylaniline were 85.9% and 0%-4%, respectivity, after reaction for 8 h at the volumetric ratio of nitrobenzene:ethanol:water = 10:60:0. The selectivity for N, N-diethylaniline production is much lower than that through the traditional method. In this process, hydrogen and aromatic amines generated from the aqueous-phase reforming of alcohols and hydrogenation of nitro aromatic compounds, respectively, could be promptly removed from the surface of the catalyst due to the occurrence of in-situ hydrogenation and N-alkylation reactions. Thus, this may be a potential approach to increase the selectivity to N-alkyl arylamine.     

Chromium‐Catalyzed Alkylation of Amines by Alcohols

The alkylation of amines by alcohols is a broadly applicable, sustainable, and selective method for the synthesis of alkyl amines, which are important bulk and fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. We show that Cr complexes can catalyze this C?N bond formation reaction. We synthesized and isolated 35 examples of alkylated amines, including 13 previously undisclosed products, and the use of amino alcohols as alkylating agents was demonstrated. The catalyst tolerates numerous functional groups, including hydrogenation‐sensitive examples. Compared to many other alcohol‐based amine alkylation methods, where a stoichiometric amount of base is required, our Cr‐based catalyst system gives yields higher than 90 % for various alkyl amines with a catalytic amount of base. Our study indicates that Cr complexes can catalyze borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer reactions and could thus be an alternative to Fe, Co, and Mn, or noble metals in (de)hydrogenation catalysis.     

Palladium catalyzed N-alkylation of amines with alcohols

An iron oxide immobilized palladium catalyst was prepared for the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under base and organic ligand free conditions. Applying the optimized reaction conditions, the coupling reactions of amines and alcohols with various structures could be realized with up to 99% isolated yields. The catalysts were studied by XRD, BET, and XPS and the mechanism was studied by DFT calculations.     

Cyclometalated palladium pre-catalyst for N-alkylation of amines using alcohols and regioselective alkylation of sulfanilamide using aryl alcohols

Simple pyrazole based palladacycle-phosphine with a high turnover has been developed and applied for the N-alkylation of amines and sulfanilamide using alcohols as substrates by hydrogen borrowing strategy. N-alkylation of primary and secondary amines resulted in high isolated yields at 100–130 °C, under solvent free conditions. More challenging secondary aliphatic as well as aromatic alcohols were also successfully utilized as alkylating agents under similar reaction conditions. The turn over number reached up to 43000 for N-benzylation of aniline using benzyl alcohol. Notably, regioselective N-alkylation of 2-aminobenzothiazole and 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide to the corresponding 2-N-(alkylamino)azoles and 4-amino-(N-alkyl)benzenesulfonamides using alcohols as alkylating agents have been achieved using our new pre-catalyst-phosphine system.     

Selective N-alkylation of amines using nitriles under hydrogenation conditions: facile synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines

Nitriles were found to be highly effective alkylating reagents for the selective N-alkylation of amines under catalytic hydrogenation conditions. For the aromatic primary amines, the corresponding secondary amines were selectively obtained under Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. Although the use of electron poor aromatic amines or bulky nitriles showed a lower reactivity toward the reductive alkylation, the addition of NH(4)OAc enhanced the reactivity to give secondary aromatic amines in good to excellent yields. Under the same reaction conditions, aromatic nitro compounds instead of the aromatic primary amines could be directly transformed into secondary amines via a domino reaction involving the one-pot hydrogenation of the nitro group and the reductive alkylation of the amines. While aliphatic amines were effectively converted to the corresponding tertiary amines under Pd/C-catalyzed conditions, Rh/C was a highly effective catalyst for the N-monoalkylation of aliphatic primary amines without over-alkylation to the tertiary amines. Furthermore, the combination of the Rh/C-catalyzed N-monoalkylation of the aliphatic primary amines and additional Pd/C-catalyzed alkylation of the resulting secondary aliphatic amines could selectively prepare aliphatic tertiary amines possessing three different alkyl groups. According to the mechanistic studies, it seems reasonable to conclude that nitriles were reduced to aldimines before the nucleophilic attack of the amine during the first step of the reaction.     

Discovery and mechanistic studies of a general air-promoted metal-catalyzed aerobic N-alkylation reaction of amides and amines with alcohols

The thermodynamically unfavorable anaerobic dehydrogenative alcohol activation to aldehydes and hydridometal species is found to be the bottleneck in metal-catalyzed N-alkylations due to a general and unnoticed catalyst deactivation by amines/amides. Thus, different from the anaerobic dehydrogenation process in borrowing hydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer reactions that require noble metal complexes or addition of capricious ligands for catalyst activation, the water-producing, exothermic, metal-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation is thermodynamically more favorable and the most effective and advantageous aldehyde generation protocol. This leads to a general and advantageous air-promoted metal-catalyzed aerobic N-alkylation methodology that effectively uses many simpler, less expensive, more available, and ligand-free metal catalysts that were inactive under typical anaerobic borrowing hydrogen conditions, avoiding the use of preformed metal complexes and activating ligands and the exclusive requirement of inert atmosphere protection. This aerobic method is quite general in substrate scope and tolerates various amides, amines, and alcohols, revealing its potentially broad utilities and interests in academy and industry. In contrast to the commonly accepted borrowing hydrogen mechanism, based on a thorough mechanistic study and supported by the related literature background, a new mechanism analogous to the relay race game that has never been proposed in metal-catalyzed N-alkylation reactions is presented.     

High performance of nitrogen-doped carbon-supported cobalt catalyst for the mild and selective synthesis of primary amines

A nitrogen-doped carbon-supported Co catalyst (Co/N-C-800) was discovered to be highly active for the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with NH₃ and the hydrogenation of nitriles into primary amines using H₂ as the hydrogen source. Structurally diverse carbonyl compounds were selectively transformed into primary amines with good to excellent yields (82.8–99.6%) under mild conditions. The Co/N-C-800 catalyst showed comparable or better catalytic performance than the reported noble metal catalysts. The Co/N-C-800 catalyst also showed high activity for the hydrogenation of nitriles, affording the corresponding primary amines with high yields (81.7–99.0%). An overall reaction mechanism is proposed for the reductive amination of benzaldehyde and the hydrogenation of benzonitrile, which involves the same intermediates of phenylmethanimine and N-benzylidenebenzylamine.

Copper-catalyzed N-alkylation of amides and amines with alcohols employing the aerobic relay race methodology

By employing aerobic oxidation to aldehydes as a more effective alcohol activation strategy, we developed a green Cu-catalyzed N-alkylation method for various amides and amines with alcohols. This reaction is more advantageous than the literature methods for it uses a ligand-free copper catalyst, can be readily carried out under milder aerobic conditions and generates water as the only byproduct. More importantly, based on our mechanistic studies and also supported by the literature, rather than following the previously-proposed mechanisms, we deduce that the newly-proposed relay race process should be the most possible and a more rational mechanism for the reactions, especially under aerobic conditions.
