Abstract
Reduction of carboxamides is an efficient approach to obtain the corresponding amines, albeit it is one of the most problematic. In this work, by use of pinacolborane (HBpin) as a reductant, the rare-earth metal tris (arylamido) complex supported by a ferrocenyl-modified arylamido ligand La[NH-2,6-iPr2-4-FcC6H2]3 was employed as a precatalyst for primary and secondary amide reductions. This catalyst system exhibited high activity toward hydroborative reduction of amides to amines under mild conditions, as well good tolerance for heteroatoms and functional groups in the reduction. A lanthanide hydride was experimentally verified as the active species and the reduction mechanism was proposed.
期刊介绍:
All new compounds should be satisfactorily identified and proof of their structure given according to generally accepted standards. Structural reports, such as papers exclusively dealing with synthesis and characterization, analytical techniques, or X-ray diffraction studies of metal-organic or organometallic compounds will not be considered. The editors reserve the right to refuse without peer review any manuscript that does not comply with the aims and scope of the journal. Applied Organometallic Chemistry publishes Full Papers, Reviews, Mini Reviews and Communications of scientific research in all areas of organometallic and metal-organic chemistry involving main group metals, transition metals, lanthanides and actinides. All contributions should contain an explicit application of novel compounds, for instance in materials science, nano science, catalysis, chemical vapour deposition, metal-mediated organic synthesis, polymers, bio-organometallics, metallo-therapy, metallo-diagnostics and medicine. Reviews of books covering aspects of the fields of focus are also published.
