We have developed a clean, atom-economical and environmentally friendly route for acceptorless dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles by combining a new dual N-heterocyclic carbene-nitrogen-phosphine ligand R(CNP)2 (R = o-xylyl) with a ruthenium precursor [RuCl2(η6-C6H6)]2. In this system, the electronic and steric factors of amines had a negligible influence on the reaction and a broad range of functional groups were well tolerated. All of the investigated amines could be converted to nitriles in good yield of up to 99% with excellent selectivity. The unprecedented catalytic performance of this system is attributed to the synergistic effect of two ruthenium centers chelated by R(CNP)2 and a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed according to the active species found via in situ NMR and HRMS.

The invention discloses a method for catalyzing receptor-free dehydrogenation of primary amine to generate nitrile by a Ru coordination compound. The method comprises: adding a Ru coordination compound, an alkali, a primary amine and an organic solvent into a reaction test tube according to a mol ratio of 1:100:(100-500):1000-3000, and carrying out a stirring reaction under the condition of 80 to120 DEG C; and when gas chromatography monitors that the raw materials completely disappear, stopping the reaction, collecting the reaction solution, centrifuging the reaction solution, taking the supernatant, extracting with dichloromethane, merging the organic phases, drying, filtering, evaporating the organic solvent under reduced pressure to obtain a filtrate, and carrying out column chromatography purification on the filtrate to obtain the target product nitrile. According to the invention, the catalyst is good in activity, single in catalytic system, good in product selectivity, simple in subsequent treatment and good in system universality after the reaction is finished, has a good catalytic effect on various aryl, alkyl and heteroaryl substituted primary amines, and also has a gooddehydrogenation performance on secondary amines.

Various aromatic nitriles could be obtained in good yields by the treatment of aryl bromides with n-butyllithium and then pivalonitrile, followed by the treatment with molecular iodine at 70 °C, without metal cyanides under transition-metal-free conditions. The present reaction proceeds through the radical β-elimination of imino-nitrogen-centered radicals formed from the reactions of imines and N-iodoimines under warming conditions.
