Abstract
The direct double dehydrogenation from primary amines to nitriles without an oxidant or hydrogen acceptor is both intriguing and challenging. In this paper, we describe a non-noble metal catalyst capable of realizing such a transformation with high efficiency. A cobalt-centered N,N-bidentate complex was designed and employed as a metal-ligand cooperative dehydrogenation catalyst. Detailed kinetic studies, control experiments, and DFT calculations revealed the crucial hydride transfer, proton transfer, and hydrogen evolution processes. Finally, a tandem outer-sphere/inner-sphere mechanism was proposed for the dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles through an imine intermediate.

Abstract
We report the atom-economic and sustainable synthesis of biologically important 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide (DHBD) derivatives from readily available aromatic primary alcohols and 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide catalyzed by nickel(II)-N∧N∧S pincer-type complexes. The synthesized nickel complexes have been well-studied by elemental and spectroscopic (FT-IR, NMR, and HRMS) analyses. The solid-state molecular structure of complex 2 has been authenticated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. Furthermore, a series of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide derivatives have been synthesized (24 examples) utilizing a 3 mol % Ni(II) catalyst through acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of benzyl alcohols with benzenesulfonamide. Gratifyingly, the catalytic protocol is highly selective with the yield up to 93% and produces eco-friendly water/hydrogen gas as byproducts. The control experiments and plausible mechanistic investigations indicate that the coupling of the in situ generated aldehyde with benzenesulfonamide leads to the desired product. In addition, a large-scale synthesis of one of the thiadiazine derivatives unveils the synthetic usefulness of the current methodology.

Abstract
Emerging techniques are revolutionizing the realm of chemical synthesis by introducing new avenues for C-H bond functionalization, which have been exploited for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural compounds, and functional materials. Allylic C-H bond oxidation of alkenes serves as possibly the most employed C-H bond functionalization reaction. However, sustainable and selective approaches remain scarce, and the majority of the existing conditions still hinge on hazardous oxidants or costly metal catalysts. In this context, we introduce a heterogeneous iron catalyst that addresses the above-mentioned concerns by showcasing the aerobic oxidation of steroids, terpenes, and simple olefins to the corresponding enone products. This novel method provides a powerful tool for the arsenal of allylic C-H bond oxidation while minimizing the environmental concerns.

Abstract
The utilization of a single-atom catalyst to break C-C bonds merges the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and presents an intriguing pathway for obtaining high-value-added products. Herein, a mild, selective, and sustainable oxidative cleavage of alkene to form oxime ether or nitrile was achieved by using atomically dispersed cobalt catalyst and hydroxylamine. Diversified substrate patterns, including symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes, di- and tri-substituted alkenes, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes were demonstrated. The reaction was successfully scaled up and demonstrated good performance in recycling experiments. The hot filtration test, catalyst poisoning and radical scavenger experiment, time kinetics, and studies on the reaction intermediate collectively pointed to a radical mechanism with cobalt/acid/O2 promoted C-C bond cleavage as the key step.

Chemistry 2023; 29:e202301758. [PMID: 37490592 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202301758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
A series of Mn(I) complexes Mn(L1 )(CO)3 Br, Mn(L2 )(CO)3 Br, Mn(L1 )(CO)3 (OAc) and Mn(L3 )(CO)3 Br [L1 =2-(5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridine, L2 =2-(5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, L3 =2-(5-tert-butyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridine] were synthesized and fully characterized. The acid-base equilibrium between the pyrazole and the pyrazolato forms of Mn(L1 )(CO)3 Br was studied by 1 H NMR and UV-vis spectra. These complexes are screened as catalysts for acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) of primary alcohols and aromatic diamines for the synthesis of benzimidazole and quinoline derivatives with the release of H2 and H2 O as byproducts. The protic complex Mn(L1 )(CO)3 Br shows the highest catalytic activity for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives with broad substrate scope, whereas a related complex [Mn(L3 )(CO)3 Br], which is devoid of the proton responsive β-NH unit, shows significantly reduced catalytic efficiency validating the crucial role of the β-NH functionality for the alcohol dehydrogenation reactions. Control experiments, kinetic and deuterated studies, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a synchronous hydride-proton transfer by the metal-ligand construct in the alcohol dehydrogenation step.
