Vanadium(IV) tetraphenylporphyrin dichloride and chromium(III) tetraphenylporphyrin chloride have been developed as catalysts for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols. The catalysts have been applied to the direct synthesis of imines in overall good yields from a variety of alcohols and amines. The transformations are proposed to proceed by metal?ligand bifunctional pathways with an outer-sphere transfer of two hydrogen atoms from the alcohol to the metal porphyrin complexes. The results show that vanadium and chromium catalysts can also be employed for the dehydrogenation of alcohols with the release of hydrogen gas, and they may represent valuable alternatives to other catalysts based on Earth-abundant metals.

Primary amines are often cheap, naturally occurring, and chemically diverse starting materials. For these reasons, deaminative functionalization of amines has emerged as an important area of research. Recent advances in C-N activation transform simple α-1° and α-2° amines into alkylating reagents via Katritzky pyridinium salts. We report a complementary method that activates sterically encumbered α-3° primary amines through visible light photoredox catalysis. By condensing α-3° primary amines with electron-rich aryl aldehyde, we enable an oxidation and deprotonation event, which generates a key imidoyl radical intermediate. A subsequent β-scission event liberates alkyl radicals for coupling with electron-deficient olefins for the generation of unnatural γ-quaternary amino acids and other valuable synthetic targets.
Manganese(III) Porphyrin-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation of Alcohols to form Imines, Tertiary Amines and Quinolines

Manganese(III) porphyrin chloride complexes have been developed for the first time as catalysts for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines. The reaction has been applied to the direct synthesis of imines, tertiary amines and quinolines where only hydrogen gas and/or water are formed as the by-product(s). The mechanism is believed to involve the formation of a manganese(III) alkoxide complex which degrades into the aldehyde and a manganese(III) hydride species. The latter reacts with the alcohol to form hydrogen gas and thereby regenerates the alkoxide complex.
