Chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes to arylamines is a core technology for the synthesis of numerous chemicals. The technology, however, relies on applying precious noble metal catalysts. We present our findings on the development of robust nanoporous covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) as metal-free catalysts for the green chemoselective reduc...
The alkylation of nitroarenes with alkanols catalysed by a phosphinesulfonate chelated ruthenium complex [Ru-1] was developed. It exhibits very different reactivity and chemoselectivity depending on acidic-basic conditions. Under either neutral or acidic conditions, nitroarenes were converted to secondary and tertiary anilines, respectively, with s...

N-methylated amines are essential bioactive compounds and have been widely used in the fine and bulk chemical industries, as well as in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Developing green, efficient, and lowcost catalysts for methylation of amines by using efficient and easily accessible methylating reagents is highly desired yet remains a s...

Nitrogen-containing compounds, as an important class of chemicals, have been used widely in pharmaceuticals, materials synthesis. Transition metal-catalyzed reductive amination of an aldehyde or a ketone with ammonia or an amine has been proved to be an efficient and practical method for the preparation of nitrogen-containing compounds in academia ...

Reaction-volume dependent photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene was investigated in various batch reactors and continuous-flow microreactors (CFMs) with different surface area to volume ratios (SA/V) under visible-light irradiation, leading to control of the photochemical reduction route, reaction speed and product selectivity. A batch reactor w...
