Condensation reactions between diacetyl and α-branched primary alkylamines under mild and neutral conditions provided a mixture of 2,5-dimethylbenzoquinone(alkylimines), 2,5-dimethylbenzoquinone(bis-alkyldiimines), and N,N'-dialkyl-2,5-dimethylbenzene-1,4-diamines, which were efficiently separated as pure products by column chromatography. Both 2,5-dimethylbenzoquinone(alkylimines) and 2,5-dime...

Described herein is an effective and practical modular flow design for the meta-selective C-H arylation of anilines. The design consists of four continuous-flow modules (i.e., diaryliodonium salt synthesis, meta-selective C-H arylation, inline copper extraction, and aniline deprotection) which can be operated either individually or consecutively to provide direct access to meta-arylated aniline...

A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling amination with weak nitrogen nucleophiles is described. Aryl halides as well aryl tosylates can be efficiently coupled a series of N-nucleophiles, including anilines, sulfonamides, sulfoximines, carbamates, and imines via concerted paired electrolysis. Notably, electron-deficient anilines sulfonamides are also suitable substrates. Interestingly, when benzopheno...

Cyclometalated ruthenium allow the effective and selective N-methylation of anilines under mild conditions.

Oxone is found to be an effective oxidant for the oxidative amidation of aldehydes with anilines to furnish amides in a one-pot process under mechanical milling conditions.

The radical aminophosphinoylation of maleimides with anilines and diarylphosphine oxides.

Based on descriptors of n-octanol/water partition coefficients (logKow), molecular connectivity indices, and quantum chemical parameters, several QSAR models were built to estimate the soil sorption coefficients (logKoc) of substituted anilines and phenols. Results showed that descriptor logKow plus molecular quantum chemical parameters gave poor regression models. Further study was performed t...

Three man synthetic routes to analogues of tacrine are described: reaction of anthranilonitriles with cyclohexanone and other ketones, reaction of various anilines with alpha-cyanoketones, and reactions involving anilines and cyclic beta-ketoesters. Although tacrine has a wide range of pharmacological effects, it is best known as an inhibitor of cholinesterase enzymes. Many of the analogues tha...

Ultra-small FeS 2 nanoparticles are shown to give superior catalytic performance in hydrogen transfer reactions for the synthesis of substituted anilines.

A three-step procedure for the synthesis of multifunctionalized heterocycles from a pyroglutamic acid derivative, glycidyl components and anilines by nucleophilic substitution and cobalt catalysis is presented.
