Hydrogenation of N-Heteroaromatic Compounds in the Presence of Soluble Metal Complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The review presents a concise discussion of reports on hydrogenation of N-containing heteroaromatic compounds in relation to the hydrodenitrogenation process (HDN), along with hydrogenation mechanisms of the most representative examples of the compounds studied. The influence of electronic properties of aromatic structures, with the special emphasis on the resonance stabilization energies and the interatomic C–C and C–N distances, on the susceptibility for their hydrogenation has been considered. The importance of an initial mode of substrate coordination in relation to the reaction products formed is underlined.

Asymmetric hydrogenation plays an important role in organic synthesis, but that of the challenging substrates such as N-unprotected imines, enamines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds (1H-indoles, 1H-pyrroles, pyridines, quinolines, and quinoxalines) has only received increased attention in the past three years. Considering the interaction modes of a Brønsted acid with a Lewis base, Brønsted acids...

متن کاملOrganocatalytic enantioselective reduction of pyridines.
Asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most important enantioselective reactions. Although the hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, and hydrosilylation of various substrates in the presence of metal catalysts have been described, the asymmetric reduction of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds still represents a great challenge. This situation is particularly true for the enantioselective hy...
