A set of quinazolines and quinazolinones were synthesized in high yields with a broad substrate scope and good tolerance of functional groups. Characterization and control experiments disclose that a synergistic effect between the metallic Fe nanoparticles and built-in Fe-N x sites is primarily responsible for the outstanding catalytic performance. Furthermore, the iron nanocomposite could be readily recovered for successive use without appreciable loss in catalytic activity and selectivity. This work provides an expedient and sustainable method to access pharmaceutically relevant N-heterocycles.

In comparison, tungsten platforms are scarcely examined. For active catalysts, the control of N2 vs. proton reduction selectivities remains a difficult task. We here present N2 splitting using a tungsten pincer platform, which has been proposed as the key reaction for catalytic nitrogen fixation. Starting from [WCl3(PNP)] (PNP = N(CH2CH2PtBu2)2), the activation of N2 enabled the isolation of the dinitrogen bridged redox series [(N2)WCl(PNP)2]0/+/2+. Protonation of the neutral complex results either in the formation of a nitride [W(N)Cl(HPNP)]+ or H2 evolution and oxidation of the W2N2 core, respectively, depending on the acid and reaction conditions. Examination of the nitrogen splitting vs. proton reduction selectivity emphasizes the role of hydrogen bonding of the conjugate base with the protonated intermediates and
