Synthesis of amino sulfides in the presence of rare-earth and transition metal catalysts
摘要:
Efficient procedures have been developed for the synthesis of amino sulfides by aminomethylation of thiols with higher geminal diamines, thiomethylation of secondary amines with N,N-dimethylaminomethyl sulfides, and decyclization of 1,3,6-oxadithiepane or N-tert-butyl-1,5,3-dithiazepane with secondary amines in the presence of rare-earth and transition metals.
Bridging Amines with CO2: Organocatalyzed Reduction of CO2 to Aminals
摘要:
The four-electron reduction of CO2 in the presence of secondary aromatic amines is described for the first time to access aminals. Under metal-free hydrosilylation conditions, the four C-O bonds of CO2 are cleaved, and the organocatalysts are able to balance the reactivity of CO2 to promote the selective formation of two C-N and two C-H bonds. The methodology enables the formation of various symmetrical and unsymmetrical aminals.
