Abstract
Direct catalytic reductive hydroamination of alkynes enables C-N bond formation. In comparison with traditional reductive hydroamination of alkynes with amines, using nitroarenes as amine sources remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report a new and practical Ir-catalyzed muti-step tandem reductive hydroamination of alkynes with nitroarenes, delivering a series of aromatic amines in good yields (up to 96 %) under mild conditions. In addition, the alkynes can be incorporated into nitro-substituted bioactive molecules and are readily realized structural modification.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
