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...

A metal and base free synthesis of primary amines has been developed at ambient temperature through ipso amination of diversely functionalized organoboronic acids, employing a combination of [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA)-N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and methoxyamine hydrochloride as the aminating reagent. The amines were primarily obtained as their trifluoroacetate salts which on subseq...

Chiral amines are one of the ubiquitous functional groups in fine chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical products, and the most convenient, economical, and eco-benign synthetic pathway to these amines is direct asymmetric reductive amination (DARA) of prochiral ketones. This paper shows that a wide range of aliphatic ketones can be directly aminated under hydrogenation conditions, affording ...

tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols, acetylation of aldehydes and n-boc protection of amines are efficiently catalyzed by melamine trisulfonic acid (mtsa). all reactions were performed at room temperature in good to high yields.

大鹿 英世 ・中井 健五 Accumulating evidence indicates that monoamine oxidase (MAO, 1.4.3.4) is essential to the metabolism of serotonin and catecholamines. Since these amines are substances of high biological activity and have been implicated in autonomic function, it becomes of great interest to see whether foetal or embryonic development is closely related to the metabolism of these biogenic amines. T...

Thiols and amines, which are common heteroatom nucleophiles in gold-catalysed reactions, are known to dampen the reactivity of gold catalysts. In this article, the identity and activity of gold(I) catalysts in the presence of thiols and amines is investigated. In the presence of thioacid, thiophenol and thiol, digold with bridging thiolate complexes [{Au(L)}2(μ-SR)][SbF6] are formed and have be...

A homoleptic scandium trialkyl complex in combination with a borate compound served as an excellent catalyst for the C–H addition of aliphatic tertiary amines to olefins. This highly regiospecific, 100% atom efficient C–H bond alkylation reaction was applicable to a wide variety of tertiary amines and olefins, including functionalised styrenes and unactivated a-olefins. This work represents the...
