Here, we describe the formation and use of silyl cobalt (III) dihydride complexes as powerful catalysts for the hydrosilylation of a variety of imines starting from a low-valent well-defined cobalt (I) complex. The reaction is efficient at low catalyst loadings with a diverse range of imines bearing various protecting groups, as well as aliphatic ketimines and quinoline. Kinetics, DFT calculations, NMR spectroscopic studies, deuteration experiments, and X-ray diffraction analyses allowed us to propose a catalytic cycle based on silyl dihydrocobalt (III) complexes performing a hydrocobaltation.

An unprecedented protocol for the efficient and highly chemoselective alkylation of unprotected arylamines using alcohols catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 has been developed. The reaction gives N-alkylated products and ortho C-alkylated products in different solvents in good chemoselectivities and yields. Control experiments and DFT calculations indicated that the borane underwent alcohol/arylamine exchange to ensure catalytic activity, and a possible mechanism involving a carbocation is proposed.

Here we report the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of non-activated imines promoted by a Fe-catalyst in the absence of Lewis acid co-catalysts. Use of the (cyclopentadienone)iron complex 1, which is much more active than the classical ‘Kn?lker complex’ 2, allowed to reduce a number of N-aryl and N-alkyl imines in very good yields using iPrOH as hydrogen source. The reaction proceeds with relatively low catalyst loading (0.5–2 mol%) and, remarkably, its scope includes also ketimines, whose reduction with a Fe-complex as the only catalyst has little precedents. Based on this methodology, we developed a one-pot CTH protocol for the reductive amination of aldehydes/ketones, which provides access to secondary amines in high yield without the need to isolate imine intermediates.
