Abstract
The highly efficient reductive amination of aldehydes with ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H2) to form secondary imines is described, as well as the dehydrogenative homocoupling of benzyl amines. Using an air-stable, well-defined PN3-manganese(II) pincer complex as a catalyst precursor, various aldehydes are easily converted directly into secondary imines using NH3 as a nitrogen source under H2 in a one-pot reaction. Importantly, the same catalyst facilitates the dehydrogenative homocoupling of various benzylamines, exclusively forming imine products. These reactions are conducted under very mild conditions, without the addition of any additives, yielding excellent selectivities and high yields of secondary imines in a green manner by minimizing wastes.

Abstract
The first Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive coupling of 2-aza-butadiene with aldehydes was achieved to synthesize chiral γ-secondary amino alcohols. This transformation features good enantioselectivity and tolerance to various functional groups, which may serve as a complementary method to previously reported noble-metal-catalyzed protocols. Through competition reaction, 2-aza-butadiene was proved to be a more reactive coupling component than its full-carbon analogue, 1,3-butadiene. Notably, this reaction delivers β-siloxyl imine, an aza-aldol-type product which is difficult to access by conventional methods.

Abstract
Here we report a general and mild approach to prepare α-branched aliphatic amines from imines. This method capitalizes on a cobalt-catalyzed umpolung alkylation of imines, employs easily available reaction partners, and demonstrates a broad substrate scope. Mechanistic studies suggest this transformation occurs by a radical pathway.
