Magnesium‐Catalyzed Proficient Reduction of Oximes to Amines Using Ammonium Formate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various aldoximes and ketoximes were selectively reduced to the corresponding amines by catalytic transfer hydrogenation employing low cost magnesium powder and ammonium formate at room temperature. Many other functionalities such as halogens, –OH, –OCH3, –COOH and –CH3 remained unaffected. The hydrogenation is fast, mild, clean, cost effective and high yielding.

An efficient copper-catalyzed method for N-arylation of amines has been developed with part-per-million catalyst loadings at room temperature under air. Reactions of substituted (E)-1-(2-halophenyl)alkanone oximes with aliphatic amines or aromatic amines provided the N-arylation products in good to excellent yields.

The preparation of chiral alcohols and amines by using iridium catalysis is reviewed. The methods presented include the reduction of ketones or imines by using hydrogen (hydrogenations), isopropanol, formic acid, or formate (transfer hydrogenations). Also dynamic and oxidative kinetic resolutions leading to chiral alcohols and amines are included. Selected literature reports from early contribu...
متن کاملA new reagent for selective reduction of nitro group
The nitro group in aromatic nitro compounds containing reducible substituents such as methyl, carboxylic acids and phenols, and halogens are selectively and rapidly reduced at room temperature to the corresponding amines in good yield by employing hydrazine glyoxylate in the presence of zinc powder or magnesium powder. It has been observed that hydrazine glyoxylate is more effective than hydraz...

A facile, convenient, green and environmentally benign one-pot three-component synthesis of poly-functionalized 4H-pyrans and 4H-chromenes is described. A basic ionic liquid 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethaneammonium formate was found to be an efficient catalyst or catalytically active solvent for the synthesis of those important classes of heterocyclic compounds.
