Although the range of biocatalysts available for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure chiral amines continues to expand, few existing methods provide access to secondary amines. To address this shortcoming, we have over-expressed the gene for an (R)-imine reductase [(R)-IRED] from Streptomyces sp. GF3587 in Escherichia coli to create a recombinant whole-cell biocatalyst for the asymmetric red...

The reductive amination reaction of imines catalyzed by Knölker-type iron complexes under hydrogen at high pressure is very interesting in synthetic terms. This type an important catalytic challenge, since harsh conditions are necessary and do not occur easily. In a previous work ( Organometallics 2022, 41, 1204−1215), we carried out computational study the mechanism showing that electron-withd...

The C–H activation by Pd(II) and Pt(II) compounds of a wide range imines related to 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, ArCH═NCH2(CH2)nPh (Ar = 2-pyridinyl, 2-picolinyl, 2-quinolinyl, n 0, 1), which can...

Ultrathin 2D/2D Ti 3 C 2 T x /semiconductor (CdS and Bi MoO 6 ) dual-functional photocatalysts have been constructed for the oxidative coupling of benzylamines to imines combined with H generation under visible light irradiation ( ? ?420 nm).

A new class of chiral tetrahedral iron(II) cages were prepared from subcomponent self-assembly with high diastereoselectivity. The cages can be interconverted through imine exchange. The chiral cages displayed a spin transition close to room temperature, and the transition temperatures were affected by the substituent and uncoordinated solvents.

Scrambling experiments suggest that the self-assembly of 2D ladders via imine metathesis is kinetically trapped at four or more rungs. Consequently, ladders containing five or more rungs cannot be synthesized in high yield under the conditions used, as misaligned out-of-register byproducts cannot self-correct.
