AbstractLow‐valent titanium readily prepared in situ from TiCl4 and Mg powder in THF is found to be an active agent for the reduction of amides which were previously considered to be inert towards low‐valent titanium. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions, and is applicable to all types of amides, primary, secondary and tertiary, to produce the corresponding amines in good to excellent yields. This new finding provides a practical, convenient and general method for the important transformation of amides to amines. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.magnified image
Herein, we demonstrated an efficient protocol for reductivealkylation of azides/nitro compounds via a borrowing hydrogen (BH) method. By following this protocol, selective mono- and dialkylated amines were obtained under mild and solvent-free conditions. A series of control experiments and deuterium-labeling experiments were performed to understand this catalytic process. Mechanistic studies suggested

efficiently catalyses the reductive N-alkylation of aryl nitrocompounds with alcohols using bio-based glycerol as the hydrogen source and without the need for any added solvents. The reaction can be easily manipulated to produce either imines or secondary amines in high yields. RuCl3-catalyzed reductive N-alkylation of nitroarenes with alcohols affords the corresponding imine products in good to excellent

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

selective N-alkylation of amines with alcohols, that is in situ generated from Ni(COD)2 and KOH under ligand-free conditions. This novel method is very efficient for the functionalization of aniline and derivatives with a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols as well as diols and exhibits excellent functionalgroup tolerance including halides, benzodioxane and heteroaromatic groups. Several TEM measurements
