The rhodium-catalyzed regioselective amination of tertiary allylic trichloroacetimidates with unactivated aromatic amines is a direct and efficient approach to the preparation of α,α-disubstituted allylic aryl amines in good yield and with excellent regioselectivity. This method is applicable to a variety of unactivated primary and secondary amines and allows for the preparation of reverse pren...

In the presence of Ni-catalyst and triethylborane, N,O-acetals prepared from glycolaldehyde and glyceraldehyde with primary amines in situ underwent homoallylation with conjugated dienes to provide 2-amino-5-hexenols in high regio- and stereoselectivity. Under similar reaction conditions, N,O-acetals from carbohydrates with primary amines provided the corresponding polyhydroxy-bishomoallylamine...

5-(2-bromoethyl)phenanthridinium bromide (BEP) undergoes a 3-step-one-pot cyclisation reaction with primary amines allowing the facile synthesis of a vast library of heterocycles. A diverse range of primary aryl amines were explored as reactants to gain insight into the product isolated as a result of the steric and electronic effects of the aryl precursors. Analysis and reaction monitoring wit...

The sulfated polyborate catalyzed an efficient and chemoselective N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of amines under ultrasonic irradiation is developed. A broad substrate scope has been demonstrated for N-Boc protection various primary/secondary amines. It allows converting several aliphatic/aryl/heteroaryl amines, amino alcohol, aminoester, chiral to their N-Boc-protected derivatives solvent-free c...

Direct monomethylation of primary amines with methyl triflate was achieved with high selectivity (up to 96%). The key point of this single methyl transfer stems from the use of HFIP as the solvent that interferes with amines and avoids overmethylation.

Oxidative carbonylation of amines using NaIO(4) as the oxidant and NaI as a promoter affords good to excellent yields of ureas from primary amines in the absence of transition metal catalysts.

Catalytic oxidation of amine to imine is of intense present interest since imines are important intermediates for the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals. However, considerable efforts have been made to develop efficient methods for the oxidation of secondary amines to imines, while little attention has until recently been given to the oxidation of primary a...

A new method for the direct synthesis of imines from alcohols and amines is described where hydrogen gas is liberated. The reaction is catalyzed by the ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene complex [RuCl2(IiPr)(p-cymene)] in the presence of the ligand DABCO and molecular sieves. The imination can be applied to a variety of primary alcohols and amines and can be combined with a subsequent addition re...

Dichloromeldrum's acid is introduced as a bench-stable, nonvolatile reagent for the dichloroacetylation of anilines and alkyl amines to produce α,α-dichloroacetamides, which are important motifs medicinal chemistry. Products formed in good excellent yields with grade solvents, and, only byproducts acetone CO2, no column chromatography required. Thus, this practical, efficient, green primary ami...

6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7H-Oxazolo [3,2-b] [1,2,4] triazine (1) undersent ting transformation on treatment with ammonia and primary amines to afford the corresponding imidazol [1,2-b][1,2,4] triazine (2). Treatment of (1) with hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding 3-aryl-4H-1,2,4- triazino [4,3-b][1,2,4] triazin-8 (1H)-one (3).
