Selective Synthesis of 2‑Substituted and 1,2-Disubstituted Benzimidazoles Directly from Aromatic Diamines and Alcohols Catalyzed by Molecularly Defined Nonphosphine Manganese(I) Complex
Herein,
we present a selective synthesis of 2-substituted and 1,2-disubstituted
benzimidazoles by acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of aromatic
diamine with primary alcohols. The reaction is catalyzed by a phosphine-free
tridentate NNS ligand-derived manganeseÂ(I) complex

A new functionalized mesoporous matrix supported Pd(II)-Schiff base complex: an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki Miyaura coupling reaction
[EN] A new Pd(II) bounded 2D-hexagonally ordered functionalized MCM-41 type material (IV) has been synthesized. Functionalization was carried out by the anchoring of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in the MCM-41 type mesoporous material, followed by grafting with 2,6-diacetylpyridine (DAP) to give a N-3-type Schiff base chelating attachment for the Pd(II) species. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies have been used to characterize the material. Material IV behaves as a highly active catalyst towards Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction for the synthesis of biaryl organics. In addition, IV acts as a true heterogeneous catalyst in coupling reaction. It was found that this catalyst is highly efficient and recyclable towards Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with high turn over frequencies. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis was employed to understand the oxidation state of the palladium atom in the catalyst (IV) and its loading in the material.PC acknowledges Department of Science and Technology (DST), New Delhi for financial support.Dhara, K.; Sarkar, K.; Srimani, D.; Saha, SK.; Chattopadhyay, P.; Bhaumik, A.

Selective Hydrogenation of Nitriles to Primary Amines Catalyzed by a Cobalt Pincer Complex
The catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles
to primary amines represents
an atom-efficient and environmentally benign reduction methodology
in organic chemistry. This has been accomplished in recent years mainly
with precious-metal-based catalysts, with a single exception. Here
we report the first homogeneous Co-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitriles
to primary amines. Several (hetero)Âaromatic, benzylic, and aliphatic
nitriles undergo hydrogenation to the corresponding primary amines
in good to excellent yields under the reaction conditions
Redox Noninnocent Nature of Acridine-Based Pincer Complexes of 3d Metals and C–C Bond Formation
Acridine-based PNP pincer complexes have been previously utilized for several environmentally benign catalytic processes. In light of the recent growth in interest in base-metal catalysis, we report here the synthesis of acridine-PNP pincer complexes of Ni, Co, Fe, and Mn. We also report here the noninnocent redox nature of these complexes that results in the dimerization of pincer complexes by forming a C-C bond at the C9 position of the acridine ring
