We created a novel chimeric amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) via domain shuffling of two parent AmDHs ('L- and F-AmDH'), which in turn had been generated from leucine and phenylalanine DH, respectively. Unlike the parent proteins, the chimeric AmDH ('cFL-AmDH') catalyzes the amination of acetophenone to (R)-methylbenzylamine and adamantylmethylketone to adamantylethylamine.

By fine tuning the combinations of chiral palladium catalysts and Lewis acids, both the additional and reductive asymmetric ring-opening reactions of azabenzonorbornadienes with alcohols were accomplished with good chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and enantioselectivity. It was proven that the reductive ring-opening products were generated through a transfer-hydrogenation process with alcohols as hydrogen source.

Half-sandwich iridium complexes bearing bidentate urea-phosphorus ligands were found to catalyze the direct reductive amination of aromatic and aliphatic ketones under mild conditions at 0.5 mol % loading with high selectivity towards primary amines. One of the complexes was found to be active in both the Leuckart–Wallach (NH4CO2H) type reaction as well as in the hydrogenative (H2/NH4AcO) reductive amination. The protocol with ammonium formate does not require an inert atmosphere, dry solvents, as well as additives and in contrast to previous reports takes place in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) instead of methanol. Applying NH4CO2D or D2 resulted in a high degree of deuterium incorporation into the primary amine α-position.

The Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of N-chloroimines with alkynes for the efficient synthesis of isoquinolines is reported. This represents the first use of the N-Cl bond of N-chloroimines as an internal oxidant for construction of the isoquinoline skeleton. The synthesis features atom and step economy, a green solvent (EtOH), mild reaction conditions, and a broad substrate scope.
