AbstractThe first‐of‐its‐kind, one‐pot N‐alkylation reaction of amines over Ni(II) impregnated porous organic polymer of highly dense N‐rich skeleton is reported. The primeval Ni(II) decorated hollow spherical porous polymer is synthesized and employed in a series of catalytic reactions involving C−N bond formation. The catalytic reactions are optimised to yield the desired product highlighting the role of different substituents present on the reactants towards the overall selectivity and efficiency. The detailed reaction mechanism is corroborated with computation validating a three‐step arrow formalism viz. dehydrogenation of the alcohol, condensation with amines to generate the imine as intermediate followed by hydrogenation by a borrowing strategy to yield the final product. The role of the bare support material in the first step and that of the Ni(II) centres of the support material in the third step is marked as pivotal for the forward reaction to proceed with enriching sustainability and feasibility.
摘要 首次报道了在富含高密度 N 骨架的浸渍镍(II)多孔有机聚合物上进行胺的单锅 N- 烷基化反应。原始的 Ni(II) 装饰空心球形多孔聚合物是在一系列涉及 C-N 键形成的催化反应中合成和使用的。对催化反应进行了优化,以获得所需的产物,突出了反应物上不同取代基对整体选择性和效率的作用。详细的反应机理通过计算得到了证实,即醇的脱氢、与胺缩合生成亚胺作为中间体,然后通过借用策略进行氢化以生成最终产物的三步箭头形式主义。裸支持材料在第一步中的作用以及支持材料中的 Ni(II) 中心在第三步中的作用,对于正向反应的进行具有关键性的作用,从而提高了可持续性和可行性。
