- Manganese Catalyzed Direct Amidation of Esters with Amines
-
The transition metal catalyzed amide bond forming reaction of esters with amines has been developed as an advanced approach for overcoming the shortcomings of traditional methods. The broad scope of substrates in transition metal catalyzed amidations remains a challenge. Here, a manganese(I)-catalyzed method for the direct synthesis of amides from a various number of esters and amines is reported with unprecedented substrate scope using a low catalyst loading. A wide range of aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic esters, even in fatty acid esters, reacted with a diverse range of primary aryl amines, primary alkyl amines, and secondary alkyl amines to form amides. It is noteworthy that this approach provides the first example of the transition metal catalyzed amide bond forming reaction from fatty acid esters and amines. The acid-base mechanism for the manganese(I)-catalyzed direct amidation of esters with amines was elucidated by DFT calculations.

- Chromium-catalyzed ligand-free amidation of esters with anilines
-
Amides are important structural motifs in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry because of the intriguing biological active properties. We report here the amidation of commercially available esters with anilines that was promoted by low-cost and air-stable chromium(III) pre-catalyst combined with magnesium, providing access to amides. This reaction occurs without the use of external ligands in a simple operation. Mechanistic studies indicate that a reactive aminated Cr species responsible for the amidation can be considered, which may be formed by reaction of low-valent Cr with aniline followed by reduction with hydrogen evolution.

- Polymer supported Pd catalyzed carbonylation of aryl bromides for the synthesis of aryl esters and amides
-
A polymer-anchored palladium(ii) catalyst was synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Its catalytic activity was evaluated for the alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation reactions. These carbonylation reactions were carried out for various substituted aryl bromides using alcohols and amines. Both the reactions were optimized by varying the bases, temperature and solvents. These experiments were carried out under high CO pressure. The catalyst was very stable and can be facilely recovered and reused six times without a significant decrease in its activity and selectivity. the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Highly efficient aminocarbonylation of iodoarenes at atmospheric pressure catalyzed by a robust acenaphthoimidazolyidene allylic palladium complex
-
A robust allylic palladium-NHC complex was developed and exhibited extremely high catalytic activity toward aminocarbonylation of various (hetero)aryl iodides under atmospheric carbon monoxide pressure, in which a broad range of secondary and primary amines were well tolerated. In addition, the concise synthesis of an anticancer drug tamibarotene was accomplished even in a gram scale, further highlighting the practical applicability of the protocol.

- Palladium-catalyzed perarylation of 3-thiophene- and 3-furancarboxylic acids accompanied by C-H bond cleavage and decarboxylation
-
3-Thiophene- and 3-furancarboxylic acids efficiently undergo perarylation accompanied by cleavage of the three C-H bonds and decarboxylation upon treatment with excess aryl bromides in the presence of a palladium catalyst to give the corresponding tetraarylated products in good yields.
