Published: June 2019

An efficient catalytic method is presented for the hydrogenation of N-heterocycles. The iridium-based catalyst operates under mild conditions in water without any co-catalyst or stoichiometric additives. The catalyst also promotes the reverse reaction of dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles, hence displaying appropriate characteristics for a future hydrogen economy based on liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs).

Domino cascade reactions, which can construct multiple bonds in one pot, are efficient methods to synthesize N-heterocycles and other useful skeletons. Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of polysubstituted benzo[][1,5]naphthyridine via Mn(III)-mediated C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropanols. These reactions were initiated by addition of β-carbonyl radicals, generated from cyclopropyl alcohols in the presence of Mn(III), to 2-(2-isocyanophenyl)acetonitriles to give quinolin-3-amines, which went through intramolecular cyclizations and dehydrogenation to give the final products.

Herein, we describe a sustainable Co(II)-catalyzed synthesis of pyrroles and pyridines. Using a Co(II)-catalyst [Co (L)Cl] (1 a) bearing redox-active 2-(phenyldiazenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) (L) scaffold, various substituted pyrroles and pyridines were synthesized in good yields, taking alcohol as one of the primary feedstock. Pyrroles were synthesized by the equimolar reaction of 2-amino and secondary alcohols.

Reusable Ni-Immobilized MOF Catalyst for Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles Under Milder Conditions.

Herein, we have demonstrated the design and synthesis of a novel Ni-immobilized MOF as heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles. A series of five and six-membered N-heteroarenes bearing one or more heteroatoms were synthesized in up to 98 % yield (>33 examples). Late stage functionalization to the synthesis of β-glucuronides inhibitor, antimalarial drug quinine, and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indomethacin were obtained under milder reactions conditions.

An azine-based, non-palindromic, neutral NNN-pincer ligand was synthesised in a single step with an yield of 85%. The palladation of the ligand, using Pd(OAc), was performed in acetonitrile at room temperature to obtain the pincer complex in 88% yield through a simple, cost-effective, and straightforward synthetic procedure. The structure of the complex was confirmed by H NMR, C NMR, FT-IR, and mass spectrometry.

A Catalytic Version of the Knorr Pyrrole Synthesis Permits Access to Pyrroles and Pyridines.

Aromatic -heterocycles, such as pyrroles and pyridines, are important natural products and bulk and fine chemicals with numerous applications as active ingredients of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as catalysts, and in materials sciences. We report here a catalytic version of the Knorr pyrrole synthesis in which simple and diversely available starting materials, such as 1,2-amino alcohols or 1,3-amino alcohols and keto esters, undergo a dehydrogenative coupling to form pyrroles and pyridines, respectively. Our reaction forms hydrogen as a collectible (and usable) byproduct and is mediated by a well-defined Mn catalyst.
