Hydride, Hydrogen, Proton, and Electron Affinities of Imines and Their Reaction Intermediates in Acetonitrile and Construction of Thermodynamic Characteristic Graphs (TCGs) of Imines as a “Molecule ID Card”
摘要:
A series of 61 imines with various typical structures were synthesized, and the thermodynamic affinities (defined as enthalpy changes or redox potentials in this work) of the imines to abstract hydride anions, hydrogen atoms, and electrons, the thermodynamic affinities of the radical anions of the imines to abstract hydrogen atoms and protons, and the thermodynamic affinities of the hydrogen adducts of the imines to abstract electrons in acetonitrile were determined by using titration calorimetry and electrochemical methods. The pure heterolytic and homolytic dissociation energies of the C = N pi-bond in the imines were estimated. The polarity of the C = N double bond in the imines was examined using a linear free-energy relationship. The idea of a thermodynamic characteristic graph (TCG) of imines as an efficient "Molecule ID Card" was introduced. The TCG can be used to quantitatively diagnose and predict the characteristic chemical properties of imines and their various reaction intermediates as well as the reduction mechanism of the imines. The information disclosed in this work could not only supply a gap of thermodynamics for the chemistry of imines but also strongly promote the fast development of the applications of imines.

A selective Hofmann N-alkylation reaction of amines/amides catalytic in alkylhalides is achieved by using alcohols as the alkylating reagents, affording mono- or di-alkylated amines/amides in high selectivities.
The rhodium-catalyzedaddition reactions of sodium tetraphenylborate and arylboronic acids to nitriles, ketones, and imines were examined. The reaction of nitriles could be carried out efficiently in the presence of a catalyst system of [RhCl(cod)]2–dppp and H2O to give the corresponding monoarylated products selectively. Although unactivated ketones and imines are known to be poor electrophiles for

Herein, we report on the N–H functionalization reaction of primary and secondary anilines with diaryldiazoalkanes using simple AgPF6 as catalyst. We demonstrated broad applicability in the reaction of diaryldiazoalkanes with different anilines (31 examples, up to 97% yield). Furthermore, we propose a possible reaction mechanism for the N–H functionalization.

Direct catalytic N-alkylation of amines with secondary alcohols via hydrogen autotransfer (HA) strategy is very challenging and has been scarcely reported, even under precious metal catalysis. Herein, an efficient N-alkylation of amines, including benzylamines using secondary alcohols as alkylating agents, is reported. This reaction is catalyzed by a molecularly defined NNN-Ni(II) pincercomplex, and
a variety of alcohols with anilines, because the unique acidity of the H-mont catalyst effectively prevents the neutralization by the basic anilines. In addition, amides, indoles, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and allylsilane act as nucleophiles for the H-mont-catalyzed substitutions of alcohols, which allowed efficient formation of various C−N and C−C bonds. The solid H-mont was reusable without any appreciable
