Mechanical Force for the Transformation of Aziridine into Imine

Force-selective mechanochemical reactions may be important for applications in polymer mechanochemistry, yet it is difficult to achieve such reactions. This paper reports that cis-N-phthalimidoaziridine incorporated into a macromolecular backbone undergoes migration of N-phthalimido group to afford imine under mechanochemical condition and not thermal one. The imine is further hydrolyzed by water bifurcating into amine and aldehyde. These structural transformations are confirmed by 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic analyses. Computational simulations are conducted for the aziridine mechanophore to propose the mechanism of reaction and define the substrate scope of reaction.

Sulfated polyborate: A dual catalyst for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones by NaBH4

An efficient, quick, and environment-friendly one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes or ketones was developed. In ethanol at 70 °C, a imination catalyzed by sulfated polyborate and further reduced by sodium borohydride yields various amines. The present method has many significant benefits, including a shorter reaction time, excellent yields, and a hassle-free, straightforward experimental process. The reaction has a wide range of applications due to its flexibility, including secondary amine for reductive amination.

Metal-Ligand Cooperation Facilitates Bond Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation with Zinc Pincer Complexes

A series of PNP zinc pincer complexes capable of bond activation via aromatization/dearomatization metal-ligand cooperation (MLC) were prepared and characterized. Reversible heterolytic N-H and H-H bond activation by MLC is shown, in which hemilability of the phosphorus linkers plays a key role. Utilizing this zinc pincer system, base-free catalytic hydrogenation of imines and ketones is demonstrated. A detailed mechanistic study supported by computation implicates the key role of MLC in facilitating effective catalysis. This approach offers a new strategy for (de)hydrogenation and other catalytic transformations mediated by zinc and other main group metals.
