Nickel boride catalyst prepared in situ from NiCl2 and sodium borohydride allowed, in the presence of an aqueous solution of TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (0.01 wt%), the reduction of a wide range of nitroarenes and aliphatic nitro compounds. Here we describe how the modified nanocellulose has a stabilizing effect on the catalyst that enables low loading of the nickel salt pre-catalyst. Ni-B prepared in situ from a methanolic solution was also used to develop a greener and facile reduction of organic azides, offering a substantially lowered catalyst loading with respect to reported methods in the literature. Both aromatic and aliphatic azides were reduced, and the protocol is compatible with a one-pot Boc-protection of the obtained amine yielding the corresponding carbamates. Finally, bacterial crystalline nanocellulose was chosen as a support for the Ni-B catalyst to allow an easy recovery step of the catalyst and its recyclability for new reduction cycles.

The development of photocatalytic intermolecular hydroamination reaction between N-aminated dihydropyridines and unactivated alkenes is reported. Metal-free co-catalysts, rhodamine 6G and thiophenol, in presence of visible light are used to initiate the process. The transformation shows a broad substrate scope, both alkenes and amidyl radical can act as coupling partners. The radical strategy provides excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity and regioselectivity in diene substrates.

The sulfated polyborate catalyzed an efficient and chemoselective N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of amines under ultrasonic irradiation is developed. A broad substrate scope has been demonstrated for N-Boc protection of various primary/secondary amines. It allows converting several aliphatic/aryl/heteroaryl amines, amino alcohol, aminoester, and chiral amines to their N-Boc-protected derivatives under solvent-free conditions with excellent yields. The protocol has several advantages such as easy catalyst, and product isolation, short reaction time, excellent yields, outstanding chemoselectivity, and catalyst recyclability, among others. This makes the process practicable, economical, and environmentally benign.
