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.

黄铁矿在维持高放废物处置库近场还原性环境中的作用

研究了黄铁矿受60Coγ射线辐照后对地下水还原性环境的影响.辐照剂量率为200Gy·min-1,总吸收剂量为5×106Gy.通过分析辐照前后以及与地下水共同辐照后黄铁矿的结构和组成,发现60Co的γ射线可使地下水发生辐解反应,从而将黄铁矿氧化;但无论是直接辐照还是与地下水共同辐照,60Co的γ辐射均不改变黄铁矿的结构.黄铁矿可以消耗地下水辐解产生的氧化性产物,有利于维持处置库近场的还原性环境,提高处置库的安全性.     

Magnesium-induced regiospecific C-silylation of suitably substituted enoates and dienoates

The β-aryl-β-silyl and β,β-disilyl propionates have been synthesized from cinnamates and β-silyl acrylates by a regiospecific reductive C-silylation using Mg/silyl chloride/DMF system at room temperature. These reductive C-silylation conditions have also been applied to δ-aryl substituted dienoates wherein silylation took place at the δ-position leading to the synthesis of single regioisomeric allylsilanes with very high stereoselectivity.     

Filtration de certains espaces de fonctions sur un espace symétrique réductif

We introduce a filtration of a -module of some space of functions on a reductive symmetric space G/H, and compute the associated grading as a direct sum of induced representations. As an application of this result to the reductive groups viewed as symmetric spaces, we are able to realize any Harish-Chandra module as a subquotient of a direct sum of induced representations from parabolic subgroups, the inducing representations being trivial on the unipotent radical.     

Reductive coupling of 1,3-dimethyluracils with benzophenone by low-valent titanium: unusual two-to-one coupling

The reductive coupling of 1,3-dimethyluracil with benzophenone by Zn-TiCl₄ in THF gave unusual two-to-one adduct and its further reduced product. The reductive coupling of 1,3-dimethyl-5-fluorouracil with benzophenone by Zn-TiCl₄ also gave two-to-one adduct. 1,3-Dimethylthymine was, however, completely inert under the same conditions.

Synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]oxazines

A new preparative method for pyrido[2,3-b][1,4]oxazines from 6-substituted 3-nitro-2-pyridones is demonstrated. This method consists of two steps: O-alkylation and reductive cyclization. In the former step, the bulkiness of both starting nitropyridones and C2 reagents is found to be essential for avoiding N-alkylation, which undergoes O-alkylation efficiently. The subsequent reductive cyclization affords pyridoxazines with carbon substituents at both the 2- and the 6-positions that have not been available.
