Nano-MgO a basic catalyst was prepared by solution combustion technique. It was characterized by powder XRD, SEM, BET and TEM analyses. It was used as a catalyst for the study of microwave-assisted N-formylation of various aromatic and alkyl amines with formic acid under solvent-free conditions. Nano-MgO showed excellent catalytic properties and the reactions went to completion, within 1-2 min to give products in high yield (90-98%).

- A convenient procedure for the formylation of amines and alcohols using cyanomethyl formate
-
A simple metyod for the direct formylation of amines using cyanomethyl formate is described. The formylation succeeds in moderate to high yields under mild and neutral conditions. Thus, formamides 2a-f, 2i-m are obtained at room temperature. A chemoselective N-formylation is achieved in the case of ethanolamine. The formylation of nitroanilines and the O-formylation of alcohols only succeeds in the presence of a catalytic amount of imidazole leading to 2g,h and 3a-e, respectively.

- Solvent- and catalyst-free N-formylations of amines at ambient condition: Exploring the usability of aromatic formates as N-formylating agents
-
A solvent- and catalyst-free N-formylation protocol has been developed for amines (1s–21s) where aromatic formates (1r–6r) were used as the N-formylating agents. The amine substrates include both primary and secondary aromatic amines (1s–19s) as well as aliphatic amine (20s) and a primary amide (21s). Structures of both the aromatic formate and amine components strongly influenced the rate of the reaction and yield of the N-formamide products. The reaction condition is mild and easy to operate. This protocol can be done smoothly under ambient conditions and gives high yield of formamide products. Furthermore, the present method cannot be applied for the formylation of thiol group (22s). This signifies its possible use for the chemoselective N-formylation of amine in the presence of thiol functionality.

- Tetracoordinate borates as catalysts for reductive formylation of amines with carbon dioxide
-
We report sodium trihydroxyaryl borates as the first robust tetracoordinate organoboron catalysts for reductive functionalization of CO2. These catalysts, easily synthesized from condensing boronic acids with metal hydroxides, activate main group element-hydrogen (E-H) bonds efficiently. In contrast to BX3 type boranes, boronic acids and metal-BAr4 salts, under transition metal-free conditions, sodium trihydroxyaryl borates exhibit high reactivity of reductive N-formylation toward a variety of amines (106 examples), including those with functional groups such as ester, olefin, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, halogen, MeS-, ether groups, etc. The over-performance to catalyze formylation of challenging pyridyl amines affords a promising alternative method to the use of traditional formylation reagents. Mechanistic investigation supports electrostatic interactions as the key for Si/B-H activation, enabling alkali metal borates as versatile catalysts for hydroborylation, hydrosilylation, and reductive formylation/methylation of CO2.

- Mild Access to N-Formylation of Primary Amines using Ethers as C1 Synthons under Metal-Free Conditions
-
A new synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of N-formamide derivatives using ethers as a C1 synthon under metal-free reaction conditions. The reaction is proposed to proceed through C?H functionalization, C?O cleavage, and C?N bond formation. This protocol is applicable to a variety of primary amines resulting in N-formamides in moderate to good yields. 1,4-dioxane was chosen as best C1 synthon after screening with various ethers. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the reaction proceeds through a radical pathway. While using α-amino ketones a α-alkylation product was formed rather than formylation. By replacing dioxane with Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) under standard conditions also gave the N-formamide derivatives in moderate yields. (Figure presented.).

-
The kinetics of formanilides hydrolysis were determined under first-order conditions in hydrochloric acid (0.01-8 M, 20-60°C) and in hydroxide solutions (0.01-3 M, 25 and 40°C). Under acidic conditions, second-order specific acid catalytic constants were used to construct Hammett plots. The ortho effect was analyzed using the Fujita-Nishioka method. In alkaline solutions, hydrolysis displayed both first- and second-order dependence in the hydroxide concentration. The specific base catalytic constants were used to construct Hammett plots. Ortho effects were evaluated for the first-order dependence on the hydroxide concentration. Formanilide hydrolyzes in acidic solutions by specific acid catalysis, and the kinetic study results were consistent with the AAC2 mechanism. Ortho substitution led to a decrease in the rates of reaction due to steric inhibition of resonance, retardation due to steric bulk, and through space interactions. The primary hydrolytic pathway in alkaline solutions was consistent with a modified BAC2 mechanism. The Hammett plots for hydrolysis of meta- and para-substituted formanilides in 0.10 M sodium hydroxide solutions did not show substituent effects; however, ortho substitution led to a decrease in rate constants proportional to the steric bulk of the substituent.

The treatment of amines with formic acid in the presence of ZnO under solvent-free conditions brings about highly and efficient N-formylation to give the corresponding formamides in excellent yields. The N-formylation reaction not only involves mild conditions, simple operation, and high yields but also high chemoselectivity.

- Lifetimes of imidinium ions in aqueous solution
-
Imidinium ions, ArN=CNR2+, were generated in aqueous solution from the solvolysis of fluoro and chloro formamidines at pH 9.3 and 25°C. Rate constants for the hydration of five imidinium ions were determined from a kinetic analysis of their trapping by thiolacetate anion, CH3COS-, in the presence of a pool of competing fluoride anion, and a rate constant of k(AcS)- = 5 x 109 M-1 S-1 for diffusion-controlled trapping of the carbocations with thiolacetate anion. The rate constants, k(s), for hydration of the imidinium ions, XArN=CNC4H8O+ are 3.6 x 105, 5.8 x 105, 1.5 x 106, 1.6 x 106, and 1.8 x 106 s-1 for X = H, 4-Cl, 3-CN, 4-CN, and 3-NO2, respectively. In a similar experiment a rate constant of k(s) = 3.3 x 107 s-1 was obtained for hydration of the imidinium ion 4-NO2-ArN=CNCH3(OCH3)+, by using azide anion to trap the cation and a rate constant of k(az) = 5 x 109 M-1 s-1 for diffusion-controlled trapping of the imidinium ion with azide ion. The partitioning rate constant ratio k(AcS)-/k(s) for 4-ClArN=CNC4H8O+ decreases by approximately 6-fold in 45% v/v glycerol/water in contrast to k(az)/k(s), which remains almost constant, showing that thiolacetate, but not azide anion, combines with the imidinium ion at a diffusion-limited rate. The reactivity of the imidinium ions deviate from behavior predicted by the N+ scale in a manner that may be explained by a difference in the selectivity of the cation when compared to the more stable N+ carbocations.

- Kinetics and Mechanism of Nucleophilic Addition of Hydroxide to Aromatic Isocyanides
-
para- and meta-substituted aromatic isocyanides have been found to react in alkaline aqueous dioxane yielding the corresponding formamides.From a kinetic analysis of the reaction, the observed rate constants were found to be linearly dependent upon hydroxide concentration; this observation, together with the positive value of ρ, was taken as evidence of direct nucleophilic attack.Decreasing values of ΔH(excit.) were observed as electron-withdrawing substituents were introduced, whereas ΔS(excit.) was fairly constant at -57 J K-1 mol-1; this indicates little variation in transition-state geometry across the range of isocyanides studied.The kinetic evidence is discussed in terms of two mechanisms: nucleophilic attack of hydroxide with concerted proton transfer from water to the isocyano carbon and nucleophilic attack of hydroxide to yield a carbanion intermediate, with protonation occuring in a rapid subsequent step.The reaction rate increases with increasing water content in the solvent; this observation appears to favour the concerted mechanism.In dioxane-deuterium oxide the reaction showed a small inverse isotope effect; the apparent lack of an appreciable primary isotope effect is consistent with a concerted mechanism only if minimal proton transfer from water to carbon has occured in the transition state.
