A highly efficient B(C6F5)3-catalyzed tandem protonation/deuteration and reduction of in situ-formed enamines in the presence of water and pinacolborane was developed. Regioselective β-deuteration of tertiary amines was achieved with high chemo- and regioselectivity. D2O was used as a readily available and cheap source of deuterium. Mechanistic studies indicated that B(C6F5)3 could activate water to promote the protonation and reduction of enamines. This journal is

Samarium diiodide in the presence of water and THF (SmI2(H2O)n) has in recent years become a versatile and useful reagent, mainly for reducing carbonyl-type substrates. This work reports the reduction of several enamines by SmI2(H2O)n. Mechanistic experiments implicate a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathway, based on various pieces of evidence against initial outer-sphere electron transfer, proton transfer, or substrate coordination. A thermochemical analysis indicates that the C-H bond formed in the rate-determining step has a bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of ~32 kcal mol-1. The O-H BDFE of the samarium aquo ion is estimated to be 26 kcal mol-1, which is among the weakest known X-H bonds of stable reagents. Thus, SmI2(H2O)n should be able to form very weak C-H bonds. The reduction of these highly electron rich substrates by SmI2(H2O)n shows that this reagent is a very strong hydrogen atom donor as well as an outer-sphere reductant.
Colloid and nanosized catalysts in organic synthesis: XIV. Reductive amination and amidation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles

Hydrogenation of carbonitriles catalyzed by nickel nanoparticles in the presence of primary amines led to the predominant formation of unsymmetrical secondary amines. In the presence of secondary amines hydrogenation of nitrites provided enamines as main products. Hydrogenation of nitriles in the presence of formamide or acetamide afforded formyl or acetyl derivatives of primary amines.
