2‐Arylpropylamines from 1‐Propenylbenzenes in a New One‐Pot Metathesis–Hydroaminomethylation Protocol
摘要:
Abstract2‐Arylpropylamines are useful as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as synthetic building blocks in fine chemistry. Herein we report a new and efficient methodology to transform naturally occurring 1‐propenylbenzenes into 2‐arylpropylamines employing a one‐pot ethenolysis/hydroaminomethylation protocol. Four consecutive reactions must occur in the same reaction vessel and the careful selection of the reaction conditions was critical to obtain the desired products in high yields. The negative interference between the ethenolysis and the hydroaminomethylation (HAM) catalysts was circumvented by the appropriate adjustment on the molar ratio of the catalysts. As a result, nine 2‐arylpropylamines were obtained in yields ranging in 75–93 %.
We report a Rh‐catalyzed hydroaminomethylation reaction of terminal alkenes in glycerol that proceeds efficiently under mild conditions to produce the corresponding amines in relatively high selectivity towards linear amines, moderate to excellent yields by using a low catalyst loading (1 mol % [Rh], 2 mol % phosphine) and relative low pressure (H2/CO, 1:1, total pressure 10 bar).

Homogeneous and Semi-Heterogeneous Magnetically Retrievable Bis-N-Heterocyclic Carbene Rhodium(I) Based Catalysts for Selective Hydroaminomethylation Reactions
reactivity and selectivity compared to catalysts containing bidentate phosphine or monodentate NHC ligands. A triethoxysilyl-functionalized bis-NHC ligand was immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles and then utilized to bind a rhodiumcatalyst. The resulting catalytic system was successfully employed in hydroaminomethylation reactions. The catalyst exhibited excellent reactivity, high selectivity, and was
The highly linear-selective hydroaminomethylation of styrenes is very challenging. Herein, an efficient, highly chemoselective, and linear-selective hydroaminomethylation (l/b up to >99:1) of styrenes using Rh(nbd)2SbF6 with a pyrrole-based 3,3′,5,5′-substituted tetraphosphorus ligand is documented. This is in sharp contrast to other available processes leading to branched amines and provides a novel
