By ligand, TEMPO, and base screening, we developed a mild and green one-pot imine synthesis from alcohols and amines via a low-loading palladium-catalyzed tandem aerobic alcohol oxidation-dehydrative condensation reaction that can be readily carried out in open air at room temperature.
Herein we report a novel palladium-catalyzedoxidativecarbonylation reaction for the synthesis of phthalimides with high atom- and step-economy. In our strategy, the imine and H2O, which are generated in situ from the condensation of aldehyde and amine, serve as self-sufficient directing group and nucleophile, respectively. This method provides rapid access to phthalimides starting from readily available
General, Green, and Scalable Synthesis of Imines from Alcohols and Amines by a Mild and Efficient Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Reaction in Open Air at Room Temperature
A general, green, and scalablesynthesis of the useful imines and α,β-unsaturated imines is successfully achieved by a low-loading and powerful, mild and efficientcopper-catalyzedaerobicoxidativereaction of alcohols and amines in the openair at roomtemperature under base- and dehydrating reagent-free conditions. This practical reaction can use air as the economic and green oxidant, tolerates
The direct reductive N-benzylation of imines by reaction with benzyl bromide derivatives, in the presence of [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2catalyst and PhSiH3, is performed under mild conditions without additional base. This reaction proceeds by a tandem iminehydrosilylation/nucleophilic substitution with benzyl bromide derivatives to result the tertiary amines.
