Here, we show the one-step synthesis of N-alkylated anilines from nitrobenzenes and alcohols catalyzed by nano-gold catalyst. The yields to N-alkylated anilines were ∼90% under mild conditions. The mechanism of this reaction was explored. It shows promise for clean and simple synthesis of N-alkylated anilines.

condensation of glyoxal, formaldehyde and anilines lead to the formation of 2,4,6,8- tetraphenyl and substituted phenyl 2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo [3.3.0] octanes. the reactions are sensitive to ph and temperature. ortho derivatives of anilines do not participate in this condensation. x-ray structural determination reveals a cis-dienvelope geometery about the two fused rings.

Kinetic studies on the reactions of Y-aryl phenyl isothiocyanophosphates with substituted X-anilines and deuterated X-anilines were carried out in acetonitrile at 55.0 °C. The free-energy relationships with X in the nucleophiles were biphasic concave upwards with a break region between X = H and 4-Cl, giving unusual positive ρX and negative βX values with less basic anilines (X = 4-Cl and 3-Cl)...

Dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of primary anilines, secondary anilines, carboxamides, and sulfonamides with 1,3-diarylpropenes to form a series of allylic amines promoted by DDQ have been realized. Both monoallylation and diallylation products can be selectively synthesized when primary anilines are used as the starting materials. The method may provide a wide scope of allylamines in s...

A method for the para-selective alkynylation of anilines is reported using AuCl as catalyst and triisopropylsilylethynyl-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (TIPS-EBX) as an electrophilic acetylene equivalent. Para-alkynyl anilines substituted at positions 2 or 3 were obtained in one step from simple anilines under mild conditions (room temperature to 60 °C) under air. The methodology could also be exten...

Oxidative behaviors of three toxic pollutants including aniline, p-toludine and p-chloroaniline with ClO2 in water were studied with HPLC. The removal rates of anilines were used as criteria in this experiment. Effects of the ClO 2 concentration, pH and reaction time on the removal rate of anilines were discussed. The results show that for 1mmol ·L-1 aniline, p-toludine and p-chloroaniline, the...

A practical catalytic method for the synthesis of sterically hindered anilines is described. The amination of aryl and heteroaryl boronic esters is accomplished using a catalyst prepared in situ from commercially available and air-stable copper(i) triflate and diphosphine ligand. For the first time, the method can be applied to the synthesis of both secondary and tertiary anilines in the presen...

In this review, we summarize recent progress from our group with regard to Pd-catalyzed oxidative amination of alkenes with amines. Intermolecular oxidative amination of alkenes with secondary anilines was induced using a palladium-complex catalyst combined with molybdovanadophosphate as a co-catalyst under dioxygen, leading to allylic amines and enamines in good yields with high selectivities....

Benzofuroquinolines were prepared by a new type of Pd catalyzed annulation reaction. In the first step, 2-alkynyl-3-bromobenzofurans were prepared by Sonogashira reactions of 2,3-dibromobenzofuran. Their Pd catalyzed reaction with electron-rich anilines afforded benzofuroquinolines by a domino C-N coupling/annulation process. This reaction proceeds as a C,N-cyclization via the nitrogen atom and...

An unprecedented oxidant-mediated reductive amination of tertiary anilines and aldehydes without external reducing agents was developed via the nucleophilic attack of the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group to in situ generated iminium ions, in which tertiary anilines were used as both nitrogen source and reducing agent for the first time.
