- Manganese-Pincer-Catalyzed Nitrile Hydration, α-Deuteration, and α-Deuterated Amide Formation via Metal Ligand Cooperation
-
A simple and efficient system for the hydration and α-deuteration of nitriles to form amides, α-deuterated nitriles, and α-deuterated amides catalyzed by a single pincer complex of the earth-abundant manganese capable of metal-ligand cooperation is reported. The reaction is selective and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, giving the corresponding amides in moderate to good yields. Changing the solvent from tert-butanol to toluene and using D2O results in formation of α-deuterated nitriles in high selectivity. Moreover, α-deuterated amides can be obtained in one step directly from nitriles and D2O in THF. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the transformations contributing toward activation of the nitriles via a metal-ligand cooperative pathway, generating the manganese ketimido and enamido pincer complexes as the key intermediates for further transformations.

- Supported palladium catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides employing bench-stable CO and NH3surrogates
-
A simple, efficient and phosphine free protocol for carbonylative synthesis of primary aromatic amides under polystyrene supported palladium (Pd?PS) nanoparticle (NP) catalyzed conditions has been demonstrated. Herein, instead of using two toxic and difficult to handle gases simultaneously, we have employed the solid, economical, bench stable oxalic acid as the CO source and ammonium carbamate as the NH3source in a single pot reaction. For the first time, we have applied two non-gaseous surrogates simultaneously under heterogeneous catalyst (Pd?PS) conditions for the synthesis of primary amides using an easy to handle double-vial (DV) system. The developed strategy showed a good functional group tolerance towards a wide range of aryl iodides and afforded primary aromatic amides in good yields. The Pd?PS catalyst was easy to separate and can be recycled up to four consecutive runs with small loss in catalytic activity. We have successfully extended the scope of the methodology to the synthesis of isoindole-1,3-diones from 1,2-dihalobenzene, 2-halobenzoates and 2-halobenzoic acid following double and single carbonylative cyclization approaches.

- Transamidation for the Synthesis of Primary Amides at Room Temperature
-
Various primary amides have been synthesized using the transamidation of various tertiary amides under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. When (NH4)2CO3 reacts with a tertiary amide bearing an N-electron-withdrawing substituent, such as sulfonyl and diacyl, in DMSO at 25 °C, the desired primary amide product is formed in good yield with good funcctional group tolerance. In addition, N-tosylated lactam derivatives afforded their corresponding N-tosylamido alkyl amide products via a ring opening reaction.

- A Brevibacterium process for synthesizing amide
-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing amide through nitrile hydrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: adding nitrile, acetaldoxime, water, a water-soluble rhodium complex to a reaction vessel, and cooling to room temperature after reaction of a reaction mixture for several hours at the temperature of 50-80 DEG C; and adding ethyl acetate for extraction so as to obtain an organic layer, and carrying out rotary evaporation to remove a solvent, thus obtaining a target product. Compared with a method for synthesizing amide through nitrile hydrolysis by using oxime as a water source in a transition metal catalysis process, the method has the advantages that a used catalyst is low in loading and does not contain a phosphine ligand seriously polluting environments, synthesis can be performed in air, and nitrogen protection is not needed; and therefore, the method meets the green chemistry requirements and has a wide development prospect.

- Phosphinous Acid-Assisted Hydration of Nitriles: Understanding the Controversial Reactivity of Osmium and Ruthenium Catalysts
-
The synthesis and catalytic behavior of the osmium(II) complexes [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PR2OH)] [R=Me (2 a), Ph (2 b), OMe (2 c), OPh (2 d)] in nitrile hydration reactions is presented. Among them, the best catalytic results were obtained with the phosphinous acid derivative [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PMe2OH)] (2 a), which selectively provided the desired primary amides in excellent yields and short times at 80 °C, employing directly water as solvent, and without the assistance of any basic additive (TOF values up to 200 h?1). The process was successful with aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated organonitriles, and showed a high functional group tolerance. Indeed, complex 2 a represents the most active and versatile osmium-based catalyst for the hydration of nitriles reported so far in the literature. In addition, it exhibits a catalytic performance similar to that of its ruthenium analogue [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PMe2OH)] (4). However, when compared to 4, the osmium complex 2 a turned out to be faster in the hydration of less-reactive aliphatic nitriles, whereas the opposite trend was generally observed with aromatic substrates. DFT calculations suggest that these differences in reactivity are mainly related to the ring strain associated with the key intermediate in the catalytic cycle, that is, a five-membered metallacyclic species generated by intramolecular addition of the hydroxyl group of the phosphinous acid ligand to the metal-coordinated nitrile.

Polystyrene-supported gold (Au@PS) nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction deposition approach and well characterized by UV-visible, XRD, TEM, SAED, EDX, and XPS studies. The Au@PS was applied as catalyst for the hydration of nitriles to amides in water under microwave irradiation. Several functionalized aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic nitriles were found to be active for synthesis of the corresponding amides where no activation of water by base, ligand and support is needed. Easy recovery, negligible leaching and recyclability for up to eight runs are added advantages of the catalyst under water-mediated reaction conditions. (Figure presented.).

- Chlorophosphines as auxiliary ligands in ruthenium-catalyzed nitrile hydration reactions: Application to the preparation of β-ketoamides
-
The catalytic hydration of nitriles into amides, in water under neutral conditions, has been studied using a series of arene-ruthenium(ii) complexes containing commercially available chlorophosphines as auxiliary ligands, i.e. compounds [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PR2Cl)] (R = aryl, heteroaryl or alkyl group). In the reaction medium, the coordinated chlorophosphines readily undergo hydrolysis to generate the corresponding phosphinous acids PR2OH, which are well-known "cooperative" ligands for this catalytic transformation. Among the complexes employed, best results were obtained with [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene){P(4-C6H4F)2Cl}]. Performing the catalytic reactions at 40 °C with 2 mol% of this complex, a large variety of organonitriles could be selectively converted into the corresponding primary amides in high yields and relatively short times. The application of [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene){P(4-C6H4F)2Cl}] in the preparation of synthetically useful β-ketoamides is also presented.

The compounds [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2OH)] could also be prepared, in similar yields, by hydrolysis of the P-Cl bond in the corresponding chlorophosphine-Ru(iv) derivatives [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2Cl)]. In addition to NMR and IR data, the X-ray crystal structures of representative examples are discussed. Moreover, the catalytic behaviour of complexes [RuCl2(η3:η3-C10H16)(PR2OH)] has been investigated for the selective hydration of organonitriles in water.

Easy product separation, simple reaction procedures (without using base or phase transfer catalysis), and catalyst recycling make the catalytic system attractive. It is also active beyond activated benzylic methylene positions and could tolerate factionalized arylalkanes with diverse groups.

- Phosphinoferrocene ureas: Synthesis, structural characterization, and catalytic use in palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl bromides
-
Phosphinoferrocene ureas Ph2PfcCH2NHCONR2, where NR2 = NH2 (1a), NHMe (1b), NMe2 (1c), NHCy (1d), and NHPh (1e); the analogous thiourea Ph2PfcCH2NHCSNHPh (1f); and the acetamido derivative Ph2PfcCH2NHCOMe (1g) (Cy = cyclohexyl, fc = ferrocene-1,1′-diyl) were prepared via three different approaches starting from Ph2PfcCH2NH2·HCl (3·HCl) or Ph2PfcCHO (4). The reactions of the representative ligand 1e with [PdCl2(cod)] (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) afforded [PdCl(μ-Cl)(1e-κP)2]2 or [PdCl2(1e-κP)2]2 depending on the metal-to-ligand stoichiometry, whereas those with [PdCl(η3-C3H5)]2 and [PdCl(LNC)]2 produced the respective bridge cleavage products, [PdCl(η3-C3H5)(1e-κP)] and [PdCl(LNC)(1e-κP)] (LNC = [(2-dimethylamino-κN)methyl]phenyl-κC1). Attempts to involve the polar pendant in coordination to the Pd(II) center were unsuccessful, indicating that the phosphinoferrocene ureas 1 bind Pd(II) preferentially as modified phosphines rather than bifunctional donors. When combined with palladium(II) acetate, the ligands give rise to active catalysts for Pd-catalyzed cyanation of aryl bromides with potassium hexacyanoferrate(II). Optimization experiments revealed that the best results are obtained in 50% aqueous dioxane with a catalyst generated from 1 mol % of palladium(II) acetate and 2 mol % of 1e in the presence of 1 equiv of Na2CO3 as the base and half molar equivalent of K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O. Under such optimized conditions, bromobenzenes bearing electron-donating substituents are cyanated cleanly and rapidly, affording the nitriles in very good to excellent yields. In the case of substrates bearing electron-withdrawing groups, however, the cyanation is complicated by the hydrolysis of the formed nitriles to the respective amides, which reduces the yield of the desired primary product. Amine- and nitro-substituted substrates are cyanated only to a negligible extent, the former due to their metal-scavenging ability.

The hydration of benzonitrile was investigated as a model reaction and the ruthenium precursor was added to a 0.33M aqueous solution of benzonitrile at 100°C, while the reaction was monitored by gas chromatography. All the complexes checked, were found to be active and selective catalysts in the hydration process, providing benzamide as a specific reaction product. The most relevant results were obtained by using ruthenium complexes, bearing a nitrogen-containing ligand, which led to appropriate production of benzamide. The most effective ruthenium complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the selective hydration of a large number of other nitriles.

- Enzymatic nitrile hydrolysis catalyzed by nitrilase ZmNIT2 from maize. An unprecedented β-hydroxy functionality enhanced amide formation
-
To explore the synthetic potential of nitrilase ZmNIT2 from maize, the substrate specificity of this nitrilase was studied with a diverse collection of nitriles. The nitrilase ZmNIT2 showed high activity for all the tested nitriles except benzonitrile, producing both acids and amides. For the hydrolysis of aliphatic, aromatic nitriles, phenylacetonitrile derivatives and dinitriles, carboxylic acids were the major products. Unexpectedly, amides were found to be the major products in nitrilase ZmNIT2-catalyzed hydrolysis of β-hydroxy nitriles. The hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group and nitrogen in the enzyme-substrate complex intermediates that disfavors the loss of ammonia and formation of acyl-enzyme intermediate, which was further hydrolyzed to acid, was proposed to be responsible for the unprecedented β-hydroxy functionality assisted high yield of amide formation.

- Synthesis of primary aromatic amides by aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using formamide as an ammonia synthon
-
Primary aromatic amides were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reaction of aryl halides in high yields (70-90%) using formamide as the amine source. The reactions require a palladium catalyst in combination with a nucleophilic Lewis base such as imidazole or 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP). Aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl bromides and chlorides were converted to the primary amides under mild conditions (5 bar, 120 °C) using 1 mol % of a palladium-phosphine complex. Best results were obtained in dioxane using triphenylphosphine as the ligand and DMAP as the base. For activated aryl bromides, a phosphine-to-palladium ratio of 2:1 was sufficient, but less reactive aryl bromides or aryl chlorides required ligand-to-palladium ratios up to 8:1 in order to stabilize the catalyst and achieve full conversion. The influence of catalyst, base, solvent, pressure, and temperature was studied in detail. The mechanism of the. reaction could be clarified by isolating and identifying the reaction intermediates. In addition, methylamides and dimethylamides were prepared by the same method using N-methylformamide and N,N-dimethylformamide as the amine source.

- Simple and efficient synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones via novel solid-supported aza-annulation
-
A diverse array of 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones 13 were produced utilizing the unique properties of solid-supported reactions to both drive the reactions to completion and isolate the desired products. The pyridones were synthesized in high purity by a simple sequence of novel steps commencing from an acetophenone-functionalized resin. The para-substituted acetophenone 9 could be anchored to the resin through either a sulfonamide or a carboxamide linkage. The sulfonamide resin 9a, which gave the best results, was treated with several aryl aldehydes and ethoxide to give a variety of chalcones 10a-k in excellent yield (82-99%) upon TFA cleavage. Addition of either methyl or allyl malonate and DBU to 10a-k afforded smoothly the Michael adducts 11a-j (70-99%) which were subsequently cyclized in one step employing acetic acid as a catalyst and several diverse amines to give pure 3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones 13a-p in moderate to excellent yields (30-98%).

- AROYLNITRENES WITH SINGLET GROUND STATES: PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF ACETYL-SUBSTITUTED AROYL AND ARYLOXYCARBONYL AZIDES
-
The photochemistry of 4-acetylbenzoyl azide (ABA), 4-acetyl-4'-biphenoyl azide (ADA), and 4-acetylphenoxycarbonyl azide (APA) shows unusual wavelength and structrural effects.Irradiation of ABA or ADA into their ?-?* bands with deep-UV light leads to formation of 4-acetylbenzoylnitrene (ABN) and 4-acetyl-4'-biphenylnitrene (ADN), respectively, in competition with photo-Curtis rearrangement to form isocyanates.Irradiation of these azides into their n-?* bands with near-UV light gives only the aroylnitrenes.The triplet excited states of the azides were detected chemically and by transient spectroscopic techniques.Nitrogen loss following near-UV irradiation occurs exclusively from the excited triplet azides.However, the chemical properties of ABN and ADN are consistent only with reactions originating from their singlet states.An ESR spectrum is observed at 8 K for ((4-acetylphenoxy)carbonyl)nitrene (APN) but not for 4-acetylbenzoylnitrene (ABN) of 4-acetyl-4'-biphenylcarbonylnitrene (ADN).The chemical properties of APN in tert-butyl alcohol show that its triplet is no more than 5 kcal/mol below its lowest single state.In contrast, the chemical properties of ABN and ADN indicate that these niterenes have singlet ground states.

- Structure-activity studies on antihyperlipidemic N-benzoylsulfamates, N-benzylsulfamates, and benzylsulfonamides
-
A series of aryl substituted N-benzoyl- and N-benzylsulfamic acid sodium salts and benzylsulfonamide sodium salts have been prepared and examined for antihyperlipidemic activity in male CF1 mice at a dose level of 20 mg/kg/d ip for 16 d. These substances were also subjected to toxicological evaluation and chemical stability studies. In general, both series of sulfamates and sulfonamides significantly lowered serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in mice. The compounds were nonmutagenic, showed no acute toxicity or impaired liver or kidney function in male mice, and were chemically stable both as the monohydrates and in aqueous solution over a pH range of 3.5-7.4. While both series of sulfamates and sulfonamides lowered serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, the sulfamates were relatively more potent with regard to decreasing cholesterol levels, while the sulfonamides were more effective in lowering serum triglyceride levels in mice.
