Nesmeyanov (Figure 1) became one of the founders of a new scientific discipline─the chemistry of organoelement compounds. For many years, he was a recognized leader of the entire scientific community of the Soviet Union, heading Soviet science as President of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1951–1961). During the period of the Cold War, he managed not only to preserve but to strengthen and multiply ties of Russian scientists with the international community. Figure 1. Portrait of Alexander Nesmeyanov. As a student of N. Zelinsky, (1) who was the successor of V. Markovnikov at Moscow University, (2) he created one of the largest scientific schools in Russia. He was a man of many talents, possessing a rare combination of human qualities: a quick analytical mind and developed intuition, irreconcilability in upholding basic principles and the ability to find compromises, high demands on himself and on people, strictness in assessments, and soft benevolent humor. Combined with an extraordinary capacity for work, purposefulness, and organization, these qualities formed the basis of his outstanding achievements in science (Figure 2). Figure 2. Timeline of significant events in the life of Alexander Nesmeyanov─and in chemistry.

Alexander Nesmeyanov was born on September 9, 1899, in Moscow into a family of teachers. In 1917, he was admitted as a student of Moscow University, at the beginning of the Russian Revolution. The postrevolutionary years were difficult. Nesmeyanov worked as a night watchman at the faculty of chemistry and lived in a closet right in Zelinsky’s laboratory. By that time, the scientific interests of Zelinsky were more concentrated on catalytic hydrocarbon chemistry. Nesmeyanov wrote later: “Of course, this was very attractive and promising, but not for me. Carbon and hydrogen are good, but what about the other 100 elements?” (3) All his further life was inextricably linked with Moscow University: 1924, assistant professor; 1930, associate professor; 1934, doctor of sciences and full professor. From 1944 to 1978, he headed the Department of Organic Chemistry at the university. In addition, from 1943 to 1948 he was dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, and from 1948 to 1951 he was rector of Moscow University. Nesmeyanov’s first critical success came in 1929 after long, hard work and many failures. (4) He discovered a synthesis of organometallic compounds by thermal decomposition of double salts of aryldiazonium halides and heavy metal halides, now known as the “Nesmeyanov diazo method” (Scheme 1). Initially, this method was used to synthesize organomercury compounds. (5,6) Next, this reaction was successfully used for the synthesis of various organometallic compounds of tin, thallium, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.

Here, we report the anaerobic electrocatalytic oxidation of two primary benzylic amines, benzylamine and 2-picolylamine, in the presence of a catalytic quantity of an electron deficient ferrocene derivative as a single-electron redox mediator. The use of the appropriate redox mediator prevented fouling of the electrode surface and significantly decreased the potential at which the catalytic oxidation reaction occurred. Simulation of the electrochemical results revealed an E<sub>r</sub>C<sub>i</sub>′ catalytic process between the redox mediator and both substrates and significant difference in the electron transfer rate between the two substrates and electrochemically oxidized mediator. Through anaerobic controlled-potential electrolysis, we demonstrated a method with a Faradaic efficiency of 90% forming the desired coupled imine product of benzylamine oxidation while avoiding an excess of problematic overoxidation, hydrolysis, and other side reactions.
