- Ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes containing bidentate 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde hydrazone ligands as efficient catalysts for catalytic amidation reaction
-
The coordination behavior of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde hydrazone ligands in ruthenium(II) and the catalytic activity of newly synthesized complexes have been studied. The complexes [RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2(L1)] (1), [RuCl(CO)(AsPh3)2(L1)] (2), [RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2(L2)] (3) and [RuCl(CO)(AsPh3)2(L2)] (4) were synthesized by reactions of [RuHCl(CO)(EPh3)3] (E = P or As) precursors with hydrazone ligands and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. The molecular structure of complex 2 was identified by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural analysis revealed that all the complexes possess a distorted octahedral geometry with the ligand coordinating in a uni-negative bidentate NO fashion. Further, the catalytic efficiency of the complexes have been investigated in the case of direct amidation of alcohols with amines. The influence of base, reaction temperature and catalyst loading in the amidation reaction was also evaluated. Notably, complex 3 was found to be very efficient catalyst towards amidation of alcohols with amine. A variety of aromatic (hetero) amines and alcohols with various functional groups have also been successfully used for amidations.

- Direct synthesis of amides from coupling of alcohols and amines catalyzed by ruthenium(II) thiocarboxamide complexes under aerobic conditions
-
Four octahedral ruthenium(II) thiocarboxamide complexes of the general formula [RuClCO(AsPh3)2(L)] (L = N-substituted pyridine-2-thiocarboxamide) incorporating carbonyl and triphenylarsine have been synthesized from the reaction of 1 equiv of ruthenium precursor [RuHClCO(AsPh3)3] with 1 equiv of thiocarboxamide ligands in refluxing ethanol in the presence of base. All the new complexes have been fully characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, and NMR spectral methods. Molecular structures of all the complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography, which confirm the coordination mode of thiocarboxamide and reveal the presence of a distorted octahedral geometry around the Ru ion. All the ruthenium(II) thiocarboxamide complexes were generated as highly efficient catalysts for synthesis of secondary or tertiary amides by coupling of amines and alcohols with low catalyst loading, and the maximum yield was obtained up to 97%. The coupling reaction can be readily carried out under mild aerobic conditions, and release of water is the only byproduct. Further, the effect of substituents of the ligand, solvents, reaction temperature, time, and catalyst loading on the catalytic activity of the complexes has been investigated. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the synthesis of amides via hemiaminal as intermediate through an oxidation of an alcohol to aldehyde.

- Nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides with carbamoylsilanes: efficient synthesis of secondary (primary) aromatic amides
-
A nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using carbamoylsilane as an amide source leading to corresponding secondary or primary aromatic amides has been developed, in which the methoxymethyl and benzyl were used as amino protecting group. The protocol tolerates a broad range of aryl halides bearing different functional groups to afford good yields of aryl amides under mild reaction conditions. The types and the relative positions of substituents on the aryl ring make a notable impact on the coupling efficiency. The plausible mechanism of nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation has been suggested.

- Synthesis of Benzoisoselenazolones via Rh(III)-Catalyzed Direct Annulative Selenation by Using Elemental Selenium
-
Isoselenazolone derivatives have attracted significant research interest because of their potent therapeutic activities and indispensable applications in organic synthesis. Efficient construction of functionalized isoselenazolone scaffolds is still challenging, and thus new synthetic approaches with improved operational simplicity have been of particular interest. In this manuscript, we introduce a rhodium-catalyzed direct selenium annulation by using stable and tractable elemental selenium. A series of benzamides as well as acrylamides were successfully coupled with selenium under mild reaction conditions, and the obtained isoselenazolones could be pivotal synthetic precursors for several organoselenium compounds. Based on the designed control experiments and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, we propose an unprecedented selenation mechanism involving a highly electrophilic Se(IV) species as the reactive selenium donor. The reaction mechanism was further verified by a computational study.

- CuO-decorated magnetite-reduced graphene oxide: a robust and promising heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidative amidation of methylarenes in waterviabenzylic sp3C-H activation
-
A magnetite-reduced graphene oxide-supported CuO nanocomposite (rGO/Fe3O4-CuO) was preparedviaa facile chemical method and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The catalytic activity of the rGO/Fe3O4-CuO nanocomposite was probed in the direct oxidative amidation reaction of methylarenes with free amines. Various aromatic and aliphatic amides were prepared efficiently at room temperature from cheap raw chemicals usingtert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a “green” oxidant and low-toxicity TBAI in water. This method combines the oxidation of methylarenes and amide bond formation into a single operation. Moreover, the synthesized nanocomposites can be separated from the reaction mixtures using an external magnet and reused in six consecutive runs without a noticeable decrease in the catalytic activity.

- Well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene/ruthenium complexes for the alcohol amidation with amines: The dual role of cesium carbonate and improved activities applying an added ligand
-
Dehydrogenative amide bond formation from alcohols and amines has been regarded as an atom-economic and sustainable process. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based Ru catalytic systems have attracted growing interest due to the outstanding properties of NHCs as ligands. Herein, an NHC/Ru complex (1) was prepared and its structure was further confirmed with X-ray crystallography. In the presence of Cs2CO3, two NHC/Ru-based catalytic systems were disclosed to be active for this amide synthesis. System A, which did not contain any added ligand, required a catalyst loading of 1.00 mol%. Interestingly, improved catalytic performance was realized by the addition of an NHC precursor (L). Optimization of the amounts of L and other conditions gave rise to system B, a much more potent system with the Ru loading as low as 0.25 mol%. Moreover, an NHC-Ru-carbonate complex 6 was identified from the refluxing toluene of 1 and Cs2CO3, and further investigations revealed that 6 was an important intermediate for this catalytic reaction. Based on the above results, we claimed that the role of Cs2CO3 was to facilitate the formation of key intermediate 6. On the other hand, it provided the optimized basicity for the selective amide formation.

Cyrene as a bio-alternative dipolar aprotic solvent: a waste minimizing and molar efficient protocol for the synthesis of amides from acid chlorides and primary amines in the bio-available solvent Cyrene is disclosed. This protocol removed the use of toxic solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dichloromethane. A simple aqueous work-up procedure for the removal of the high boiling solvent Cyrene resulted in up to a 55-fold increase in molar efficiency (Mol E.%) versus standard operating procedures. In order to rapidly compare the molar efficiency of this process against other methodologies an Excel based Mol. E% calculator was developed that automates many of the calculations. An investigation into the hydration of Cyrene found that it readily hydrates to form a geminal diol in the presence of water and that this process is exothermic.

- Iminothioethers as Hydrogen Sulfide Donors: From the Gasotransmitter Release to the Vascular Effects
-
The gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important tuner of the cardiovascular homeostasis, and its deficiency is etiologically associated with a number of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the research of original moieties able to release H2S represents a timely issue for drug discovery. In this work, we developed a collection of iminothioethers (ITEs), exhibiting H2S-releasing properties and producing vasorelaxing effects on rat aortic rings. Derivatives 4 and 11, selected as representative of slow and fast rate H2S donors, respectively, produced a complete recovery of the basal coronary flow, reverting the AngII-induced effects in isolated rat hearts. In addition, studies on human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) demonstrated membrane hyperpolarizing effects, well related to the intracellular generation of H2S. Taken together, the results obtained support ITEs 4 and 11 as new pharmacological tools, as well as effective and innovative H2S donors for cardiovascular drug discovery.

Nonplanar, electronically destabilized amides have emerged as powerful intermediates in organic synthesis. We report a highly selective method for transamidation of common secondary amides under mild, metal-free conditions that relies on transient N-selective functionalization to weaken amidic resonance. The combination of rational modification of the amide bond with nucleophilic addition mechanism, and the thermodynamic collapse of the resultant tetrahedral intermediate constitutes a two-step procedure to accomplish a challenging transamidation of secondary amides under mild conditions.

- In situ generated Pd(0) nanoparticles stabilized by bis(aryl)acenaphthenequinone diimines as catalysts for aminocarbonylation reactions in water
-
Aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides with aromatic and aliphatic amines, leading to formation of the corresponding amides, was efficiently carried out in water under 1?atm of CO using palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) formed in situ from [PdCl2(Ar2-BIAN)] complexes. The role of Ar2-BIAN ligands in the stabilization of Pd NPs was evidenced. The nature of the catalytically active species was confirmed by poisoning experiments, which highlighted that the catalyst is actually in the form of Pd NPs rather than soluble palladium complexes. In the aminocarbonylation of iodobenzene with substituted anilines good yields of amides were obtained, although the activity was depleted by the presence of substituents in the ortho positions of the aniline. On the other hand, in the reaction with aliphatic amines α-ketoamides were formed in addition to the amides. The selectivity towards α-ketoamides was increased by increasing the CO pressure to 10?atm, at equimolar amounts of PhI and amine. Pd NPs were successfully recovered after the catalytic reaction and recycled in five subsequent runs with only a marginal loss of activity after the fourth cycle.

Using CsOH as the only catalyst and utilizing its "cesium effect", a clean synthesis of a wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxamides was achieved by aminolysis reactions of nitriles with ammonia, primary, or secondary amines in water. Studies on the control reactions revealed that the reactions with ammonia most probably proceed via an aminolysis path by the initial addition of ammonia to Cs-activated nitriles to form unsubstituted amidine intermediates, while the reactions with primary or secondary amines may proceed via a hydration/transamidation path by the initial hydration of the Cs-activated nitriles to form primary carboxamide intermediates followed by their transamidation with amines through the formation of substituted amidine intermediates.

By the combination of [(IPr)Au(NTf2)] (IPr = 1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) and [CpIrCl2]2 (Cp = η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), a series of nitriles were first hydrated to give amides, in which the resulting amides were further N-alkylated with a variety of alcohols as alkylating agents to afford N-alkylated amides with good to excellent yields. Compared with previous methods for the synthesis of N-alkylated amides from nitriles and alcohols as starting materials, this protocol could be accomplished with high atom economy under more environmentally benign conditions.

- Size of gold nanoparticles driving selective amide synthesis through aerobic condensation of aldehydes and amines
-
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted much attention in many fields due to their intrinsic characteristics. It is generally accepted that smaller NPs (1.5-3 nm) are more active than larger NPs, and reverse cases are very rare. We report here the direct aerobic oxidative amide synthesis from aldehydes and amines catalyzed by polymer-incarcerated gold (Au) NPs. A unique correlation between imine/amide selectivity and size of NPs was discovered; Au-NPs of medium size (4.5-11 nm) were found to be optimal. High yields were obtained with a broad range of substrates, including primary amines. Au-NPs of medium size could be recovered and reused several times without loss of activity, and they showed good activity and selectivity in amide formation from alcohols and amines. Superior activity and selectivity of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) of medium size (4.5-11 nm) were found for the direct and selective aerobic oxidative amide synthesis from various combinations of aldehydes and amines. This is an example of an unusual correlation between the size of NPs and their activity/selectivity. These catalysts could be recovered and reused several times without loss of activity.

- N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidation of aldehydes for the synthesis of amides via phenolic esters
-
N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidation using TEMPO is reported for the conversion of aldehydes to amides. A wide range of amides were synthesized in good yields (up to 72%) via a one-pot, sequential protocol involving oxidative esterification of aldehydes and subsequent aminolysis. To promote efficient aminolysis, various alkoxide leaving groups were evaluated.

- Semi-catalytic reduction of secondary amides to imines and aldehydes
-
Secondary amides can be reduced by silane HSiMe2Ph into imines and aldehydes by a two-stage process involving prior conversion of amides into iminoyl chlorides followed by catalytic reduction mediated by the ruthenium complex [Cp(i-Pr3P)Ru(NCCH3)2]PF6 (1). Alkyl and aryl amides bearing halogen, ketone, and ester groups were converted with moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions to the corresponding imines and aldehydes. This procedure does not work for substrates bearing the nitro-group and fails for heteroaromatic amides. In the case of cyano substituted amides, the cyano group is reduced to imine.

- Palladium-catalyzed fluorocarbonylation using N-formylsaccharin as CO source: General access to carboxylic acid derivatives
-
N-Formylsaccharin, an easily accessible crystalline compound, has been employed as an efficient CO source in Pd-catalyzed fluorocarbonylation of aryl halides to afford the corresponding acyl fluorides in high yields. The reactions use a near-stoichiometric amount of the CO source (1.2 equiv) and tolerate diverse functional groups. The acyl fluorides obtained could be readily transformed into various carboxylic acid derivatives such as carboxylic acid, esters, thioesters, and amides in a one-pot procedure.

- Direct amidation from alcohols and amines through a tandem oxidation process catalyzed by heterogeneous-polymer-incarcerated gold nanoparticles under aerobic conditions
-
We describe herein a highly elegant and suitable synthesis of amide products from alcohols and amines through a tandem oxidation process that uses molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant. Carbon-black-stabilized polymer-incarcerated gold (PICB-Au) or gold/cobalt (PICB-Au/Co) nanoparticles were employed as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst depending on alcohol reactivity and generated only water as the major co-product of the reaction. A wide scope of substrate applicability was shown with 42 examples. The catalysts could be recovered and reused without loss of activity by using a simple operation. Gold standard: A highly efficient green method for amide synthesis from alcohols and amines catalyzed by gold nanoparticles stabilized by styrene-based copolymers has been developed (see scheme). Two catalysts have been used with high selectivity depending on the combination of substrates. These Au nanoparticle catalysts can be recovered and reused several times by simple operations.

- Synthesis and research of benzylamides of some isocyclic and heterocyclic acids as potential anticonvulsants
-
A series of benzylamides of isocyclic and heterocyclic acids was synthesized and tested in Anticonvulsant Screening Project (ASP) of Antiepileptic Drug Development Program (ADDP) of NIH. Near all synthesized derivatives of heterocyclic acids showed activity. All obtained derivatives of mono- and bicyclic isocyclic acids were inactive. The power of action of heterocyclic acids derivatives seems does not depend upon kind of heteroatom (N, O or S). One of the compounds (2-furoic acid benzylamide (4)) appeared most promising. It showed in minimal clonic seizure (6Hz) test (ASP) in rats after i. p. administration: MES ED50 = 36.5 mg/kg, TOX TD50 = 269.75 mg/kg, and PI = 7.39.

- Direct amidation of carboxylic acids catalyzed by ortho-iodo arylboronic acids: Catalyst optimization, scope, and preliminary mechanistic study supporting a peculiar halogen acceleration effect
-
The importance of amides as a component of biomolecules and synthetic products motivates the development of catalytic, direct amidation methods employing free carboxylic acids and amines that circumvent the need for stoichiometric activation or coupling reagents. ortho-Iodophenylboronic acid 4a has recently been shown to catalyze direct amidation reactions at room temperature in the presence of 4A molecular sieves as dehydrating agent. Herein, the arene core of ortho-iodoarylboronic acid catalysts has been optimized with regards to the electronic effects of ring substitution. Contrary to the expectation, it was found that electron-donating substituents are preferable, in particular, an alkoxy substituent positioned para to the iodide. The optimal new catalyst, 5-methoxy-2-iodophenylboronic acid (MIBA, 4f), was demonstrated to be kinetically more active than the parent des-methoxy catalyst 4a, providing higher yields of amide products in shorter reaction times under mild conditions at ambient temperature. Catalyst 4f is recyclable and promotes the formation of amides from aliphatic carboxylic acids and amines, and from heteroaromatic carboxylic acids and other functionalized substrates containing moieties like a free phenol, indole and pyridine. Mechanistic studies demonstrated the essential role of molecular sieves in this complex amidation process. The effect of substrate stoichiometry, concentration, and measurement of the catalyst order led to a possible catalytic cycle based on the presumed formation of an acylborate intermediate. The need for an electronically enriched ortho-iodo substituent in catalyst 4f supports a recent theoretical study (Marcelli, T. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2010, 49, 6840-6843) with a purported role for the iodide as a hydrogen-bond acceptor in the orthoaminal transition state.
