A highly regioselective C–C bond cleavage method of enones has been devised from the ruthenium-catalyzed deaminative coupling reaction with simple amines. The analogous catalytic coupling reaction of enones with anilines has led to a regioselective Cα–Cβ bond cleavage of enones in forming N-alkylanilines and 2,4-disubstituted quinolines. The reaction profile study showed the formation of a β-aminoimine
An iridiumcatalyst enables the reductive amination of carbonylgroups with unprecedented substrate scope, selectivity, and activity using formic acid as the hydrogen source (see scheme). The catalyst system provides significant improvement over commonly used boron hydrides.
