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.

A sustainable boron-based catalytic approach for chemoselective N-alkylation of primary and secondary aromatic amines and amides with primary, secondary, and tertiary benzylic alcohols has been presented. The metal-free protocol operates at low catalyst loading, tolerates several functional groups, and generates H2O as the sole byproduct. Preliminary mechanistic studies were performed to demonstrate

efficient and highlychemoselective alkylation of unprotected arylamines using alcohols catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 has been developed. The reaction gives N-alkylated products and ortho C-alkylated products in different solvents in good chemoselectivities and yields. Control experiments and DFT calculations indicated that the borane underwent alcohol/arylamine exchange to ensure catalytic activity, and a

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
