An example of homogeneous Mo-catalyzed direct N-alkylation of anilines or nitroarenes with alcohols is presented. The DFT aimed design suggested the easily accessible bis-NHC-Mo(0) complex features a strong hydride-donating ability, achieving effective N-alkylation of anilines or challenging nitroarenes with alcohols. The enhanced hydride-donating strategy should be useful in designing highly active
介绍了均相 Mo 催化的苯胺或硝基芳烃与醇的直接N-烷基化的例子。DFT 目标设计表明,易于获得的双-NHC-Mo(0) 配合物具有强大的氢化物供体能力,可实现苯胺的有效N-烷基化或用醇挑战硝基芳烃。增强的氢化物捐赠策略应该有助于设计用于借氢转化的高活性系统。
