We report herein a highly efficient, tin(ii)/PMHS catalyzed reductive N-alkylation of arylamines with ketones affording tertiary arylamines. A very wide substrate scope was observed for the current catalytic method as all six permutations of ketones/aldehydes/heterocyclic carbonyls and primary/secondary/heterocyclic amines were well tolerated, enabling access to secondary, tertiary and heterocyclic amines. The method is also convenient for the synthesis of N-substituted isoindolinones and phthalazinones via a tandem amination-amidation sequence. Mechanistic investigations revealed a carbocationic pathway instead of an ordinary direct reductive amination pathway.

Ni-Catalyzed Regioselective Alkylarylation of Unactivated Alkenes in Amines Enabled by Cooperative Ligand Effects of Nitriles and Electron-Deficient Alkenes.

We report a Ni-catalyzed vicinal alkylarylation of unactivated alkenes in γ,δ- and δ,ε-alkenylamines with aryl halides and alkylzinc reagents. The reaction is enabled by amine coordination and can use all primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. The reaction constructs two new C(sp)-C(sp) and C(sp)-C(sp) bonds and produces δ- and ε-arylamines with C(sp)-branching at the γ- and δ-positions.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for adding alkynyl groups to certain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds next to nitrogen in tertiary amines has been developed using alkynyl bromides and visible light.
- This technique successfully coupled various types of secondary and tertiary amines with different alkynyl bromides, yielding 51 propargylamines with moderate to excellent results (31-80% yield).
- The process likely works through a mechanism involving radical reactions, as indicated by early studies on how the reaction occurs.
TiF-mediated, one-pot, reductive amination of carboxylic acids with borane-ammonia.

A facile one-pot, two-step, reductive alkylation of amines with carboxylic acids has been achieved with BH-NH as an air- and moisture-stable reductant in the presence of TiF. The catalyst is effective for both amidation and reduction steps, and the product amines are isolated in high yields as either the free amines, for those products containing an arylamine, or the borane-complexes. The free amine can be separated from these complexes using BF-EtO, followed by hydrolysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating enantioenriched 3-hydroxyindolenines and 3-oxindoles using readily available materials, which is a significant need in the field.
- An enantioselectively intermolecular direct [3+2] annulation method is presented, involving aryl amines and 2,3-diketoesters to produce 3-hydroxyindolenines that contain a chiral tertiary alcohol.
- Key findings indicate that π-π interactions are crucial for achieving the desired enantioselectivity, leading to a novel [1,2]-ester migration that yields various chiral 3-oxindoles with high efficiency and enantioselectivity.
Decarboxylative stereoretentive C-N coupling by harnessing aminating reagent.

In recent decades, strategies involving transition-metal catalyzed carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond coupling have emerged as potent synthetic tools for constructing intricate molecular architectures. Among these, decarboxylative carbon-nitrogen bond formation using abundant carboxylic acids or their derivatives has garnered notable attention for accessing alkyl- or arylamines, one of key pharmacophores. While several decarboxylative amination methods have been developed, the involvement of a common carboradical intermediate currently poses challenges in achieving stereospecific transformation toward chiral alkylamines.
