Abstract Hydrogenation of nitriles represents as an atom-economic route to synthesize amines, crucial building blocks in fine chemicals. However, high redox potentials of nitriles render this approach to produce a mixture of amines, imines and low-value hydrogenolysis byproducts in general. Here we show that quasi atomic-dispersion of Pd within the outermost layer of Ni nanoparticles to form a Pd1Ni single-atom surface alloy structure maximizes the Pd utilization and breaks the strong metal-selectivity relations in benzonitrile hydrogenation, by prompting the yield of dibenzylamine drastically from ∼5 to 97% under mild conditions (80 °C; 0.6 MPa), and boosting an activity to about eight and four times higher than Pd and Pt standard catalysts, respectively. More importantly, the undesired carcinogenic toluene by-product is completely prohibited, rendering its practical applications, especially in pharmaceutical industry. Such strategy can be extended to a broad scope of nitriles with high yields of secondary amines under mild conditions.

A convenient, transition-metal-free access to a series of unprecedented saccharin substituted 2,5-dihydropyrroles is reported. This approach employs a post-Ugi-Smiles 5-endo-dig Conia-ene cyclization sequence in mild conditions while incorporating a series...

Primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary butyl esters of amino acids are used as nucleophiles with zinc(II) hexadecafluorophthalocyanine to provide mixtures of mono and disubstituted fluorinated phthalocyanines under mild conditions, or polyaminosubstituted phthalocyanines when using the amines as solvents. Diamines give cyclic substituted phthalocyanines, binuclear or trinuclear phthalocyanines or mixtures of both types, depending on the chain length or structure of the diamine.
