Metal-free Synthesis of Aryl Amines: Beyond Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Published: December 2016

A mild and metal-free approach to C-N coupling is described that employs diaryliodonium salt electrophiles and secondary aliphatic amine nucleophiles. This reaction results in direct ipso-substitution of the iodonium moiety and unsymmetrical aryl(TMP)iodonium salts are primarily employed. Moreover, arene substituents and substitution patterns that currently pose a challenge to classical metal-free methods are accommodated and the alicyclic amine nucleophiles used here are unprecedented in other contemporary metal-free C-N coupling reactions.

Developed Co-MgO/TiO was applicable to C-N bond formation by direct amination of primary and secondary alcohols with NH via a borrowing hydrogen protocol. Selective synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines was achieved by controlling the reaction conditions. Asymmetric secondary amines can be synthesized by the coupling of alcohols and amines.

Electrocatalytic urea synthesis from CO and nitrate holds immense promise as a sustainable strategy, but its complicated synthesis steps and controversial C-N coupling mechanism restrict the design of efficient catalysts. Atomically precise metal cluster materials are ideal model catalysts for investigating the C-N coupling issues. Here we synthesize two atomically precise bimetallic clusters, AgPd(PTFE)(TPP) and AgAu(PTFE)(DPPP), both with icosahedral cores and similar ligands.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) urea oxidation reaction (UOR) presents a promising half-reaction for green hydrogen production, but the stable resonance structure of the urea molecule results in sluggish kinetics for breaking the C-N bond. Herein, we realize the record PEC UOR performance on a NiO-modified n-Si photoanode (NiO@Ni/n-Si) by harnessing the adsorbate-adsorbate interaction. We quantificationally unveil a dependence of the UOR activation barrier on the coverage of photogenerated surface high-valent Ni-oxo species (NiIV=O) by employing operando PEC spectroscopic measurements and theoretical simulations.
