New Iridium Catalysts for the Efficient Alkylation of Anilines by Alcohols under Mild Conditions

Abstract: The synthesis of eight new iridium complexes containing anionic P,N ligands is described. These complexes have been investigated as catalysts for amine alkylation reactions, resulting in a highly active catalyst for the selective monoalkylation of anilines with primary alcohols, under mild reaction conditions. Nearly quantitative conversion was observed at 70 °C with a catalyst loading as low as 0.05 mol% iridium.

“…To our delight, N-alkylated products were afforded in 83 and 95% yield (Entries 14-15). 3-Isopropylaniline and 4-tert-butylaniline could also react smoothly to generate the corresponding amines in good yields (Entries [16][17]. In addition, our catalytic system was also suitable for alkylation of aliphatic amines.…”

“…Initially, the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols was carried out in the presence of various kinds of homogeneous transition-metal catalysts including ruthenium [9][10][11] , platinum 12 , iridium [13][14][15][16][17][18] , silver 19 and palladium 20 ,Cu/Nibased 29 , Ni-Cu/Al 2 O 3 30 and Fe 3 O 4 31 , were developed for the Nalkylation of amines. However, it is still extremely challenging to require harsh reaction conditions such as high temperature and strong base or using noble metal.…”

“…However, heterobidentate P,N-donor ligands have emerged lately as an important class of ligands that have been applied in various catalytic transformations, such as hydrogenation of alkenes [1,2], hydrogen transfer reactions [3], Suzuki-Miyura couplings [4,5], arylation of unactivated arenes [6], alkylation of anilines by alcohols [7] and allylic substitution [8,9], among others. Nevertheless, this type of ligands has been scarcely used in metal catalyzed carbonylation reactions, and almost in all reported cases Pd was the metal used.…”

“…In this context, of particular importance is the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols to synthesize structurally complex primary and/or secondary amine compounds, which represents one of the most straightforward, efficient and eco-friendly methodologies for amine synthesis. As a consequence, a number of homogeneous and heterogeneous metal catalysts (e.g., Pt [20,21], Pd [22], Ru [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], Ir [30][31][32][33][34], Au [35], Fe [36][37][38][39], Mn [40,41], and Co [42][43][44][45]) have been developed for such a reaction (Scheme 1a). Despite great and alcohols with high activity and selectivity via the borrowing hydrogen strategy remains challenging.…”
