Abstract

In recent years, dihydrogen activation at non-metallic centers has received increasing attention. A system in which dihydrogen is trapped by a pyridylidene intermediate that is generated from a pyridinium salt and a base is now reported. The dihydropyridine formed in this process can act as reducing agent towards organic electrophiles. By coupling the hydrogen-activation step with subsequent hydride transfer from the dihydropyridine to an imine, a catalytic process was established. Treatment of the N-phenylimine of phenyl trifluoromethyl ketone with 5-20 mol% of N-mesityl-3,5-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)pyridinium triflate and 0.3-1.0 equivalents of LiN(SiMe3)2 under 50 bar of hydrogen gas resulted in high conversion into the corresponding amine.
