A mixture of HBPin with KOtBu was found to activate cobalt salt to form a heterotopic cobalt species that is highly active for catalytic intermolecular trimerization of alkynes. This protocol affords 1,2,4-regioisomers in good yields with high regioselectivities under mild conditions. These salient features, together with the operational simplicity and high efficiency, as well as obviating the use of any costly and/or air sensitive ligands, renders the protocol promising for practical applications.

The development of pyrimidine-based analogues of the well-known pyridinediimine (PDI) iron complexes enables access to a functional-group-tolerant methodology for the catalytic trimerization of terminal aliphatic alkynes. Remarkably, in contrast to established alkyne trimerization protocols, the 1,3,5-substituted arenes are the main reaction products. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the enhanced π-acidity of the pyrimidine ring, combined with the hemilability of the imine groups coordinated to the iron center, facilitates this transformation. The entry point in the catalytic cycle is an isolable iron dinitrogen complex. The catalytic reaction proceeds via a 1,3-substituted metallacycle, which explains the observed 1,3,5-regioselectivity. Such a metallacycle could be isolated and represents a rare 1,3-substituted ferracycle obtained through alkyne cycloaddition.

Anilines are fundamental motifs in various chemical contexts, and are widely used in the industrial production of fine chemicals, polymers, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. A recent development for the synthesis of anilines uses the primary amination of C–H bonds in electron-rich arenes. However, there are limitations to this strategy: the amination of electron-deficient arenes remains a challenging task and the amination of electron-rich arenes has a limited control over regioselectivity—the formation of meta-aminated products is especially difficult. Here we report a site-directed C–C bond primary amination of simple and readily available alkylarenes or benzyl alcohols for the direct and efficient preparation of anilines. This chemistry involves a novel C–C bond transformation and offers a versatile protocol for the synthesis of substituted anilines. The use of O2 as an environmentally benign oxidant is demonstrated, and studies on model compounds suggest that this method may also be used for the depolymerization of lignin.
