A palladium-catalyzed nucleophilic allylation of aldehydes with vinylcyclopropane in the presence of diethylzinc proceeded to provide homoallyl alcohols with anti stereoselectivity. Aldimines prepared from aldehyde and primary amines in situ underwent a s
Iron-Catalyzed Hydrogen Transfer Reduction of Nitroarenes with Alcohols: Synthesis of Imines and Aza Heterocycles

A straightforward and selective reduction of nitroarenes with various alcohols was efficiently developed using an iron catalyst via a hydrogen transfer methodology. This protocol led specifically to imines in 30-91% yields, with a good functional group tolerance. Noticeably, starting from o-nitroaniline derivatives, in the presence of alcohols, benzimidazoles can be obtained in 64-72% yields when the reaction was performed with an additional oxidant, DDQ, and quinoxalines were prepared from 1,2-diols in 28-96% yields. This methodology, unprecedented at iron for imines, also provides a sustainable alternative for the preparation of quinoxalines and benzimidazoles.

A gold(I) autotandem catalysis protocol is reported for the de novo synthesis of densely substituted pyrazolines and dihydropyridines from the corresponding imine derivatives in a highly regioselective fashion via a one-pot aza-enyne metathesis/6π-electrocyclization sequence. The substituents on the nitrogen atom of the imine perfectly control the reaction pathways from the pivotal 1-azabutadiene intermediate; thus, carbazates were converted into pyrazolines via 6π-electrocyclization of α,β-unsaturated hydrazones, while aryl imines provided dihydropyridines via 6π-electrocyclization of 3-azahexatrienes.

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.
