Herein, we report a graphene oxide (GO) catalyzed condensation of non-activated esters and amines, that can enable diverse amides to be synthesized from abundant ethyl esters forming only volatile alcohol as a by-product. GO accelerates ester to amide conversion in the absence of any additives, unlike other catalysts. A wide range of ester and amine substrates are screened to yield the respective amides in good to excellent yields. The improved catalytic activity can be ascribed to the oxygenated functionalities present on the graphene oxide surface which forms H-bonding with the reactants accelerating the reaction. Improved yields and a wide range of functional group tolerance are some of the important features of the developed protocol.

Parsons, Andrew F.,Pettifer, Robert M.
, p. 1667 - 1670 (1996)
The deprotection of N-sulfonylated amides can be achieved under neutral conditions by reaction with tributyltin hydride. Good yields are obtained using N-benzoyl and related amides while the corresponding N-acetyl derivatives are inert under the same reaction conditions. The mechanistic implications of this are discussed.

The transition-metal-catalyzed direct synthesis of amides from alcohols and amines is herein demonstrated as a highly environmentally benign and atom-economic process. Among various catalyst systems, in situ generated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ruthenium (Ru) halide catalyst systems have been proven to be active for this transformation. However, these existing catalyst systems usually require an additional ligand to achieve satisfactory results. In this work, through extensive screening of a diverse variety of NHC precursors, we discovered an active in situ catalyst system for efficient amide synthesis without any additional ligand. Notably, this catalyst system was found to be insensitive to the electronic effects of the substrates, and various electron-deficient substrates, which were not highly reactive with our previous catalyst systems, could be employed to afford the corresponding amides efficiently. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations were performed to provide a rationale for the high activity of the optimized catalyst system. NMR-scale reactions indicated that the rapid formation of a Ru hydride intermediate (signal at δ=?7.8 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum) after the addition of the alcohol substrate should be pivotal in establishing the high catalyst activity. Besides, HRMS analysis provided possible structures of the in situ generated catalyst system.

This study reports the first example of a heterogeneous catalytic system for the direct amidation of various esters with amines. Of 25 types of catalyst, Nb2O5 shows the highest activity in the amidation of methyl benzoate with aniline. Nb2O5 gives high yields in the amidation of various esters and amines under solvent-free conditions, is reusable, and shows higher turnover numbers than previously reported homogeneous catalysts such as La(OTf)3. IR spectroscopic studies of ethyl acetate adsorbed on the catalysts show a strong acid-base interaction between the Nb5+ Lewis acid site and carbonyl oxygen, which can result in high reactivity of the ester with a nucleophile (amine) and, thus, high activity of Nb2O5. Kinetic results show that the activity of Nb2O5 does not markedly decrease with increasing aniline concentration, in contrast to reference catalysts TiO2 and La(OTf)3. The relatively low negative impact of basic molecules on the Lewis acid catalysis of Nb2O5 also enables its high activity.

The desulfonylation of N-sulfonyl amides can be achieved in reasonable to excellent yield by reaction with samarium(II) iodide (SmI2) in THF at room temperature. Deprotection of acyclic and cyclic amides bearing aryl and alkylsulfonyl groups is possible.
Dehydrogenative amide synthesis from alcohols and amines utilizing N-heterocyclic carbene-based ruthenium complexes as efficient catalysts: The influence of catalyst loadings, ancillary and added ligands

The metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to access amides has been recognized as an atom-economic and environmental-friendly process. Apart from the formation of the amide products, three other kinds of compounds (esters, imines and amines) may also be produced. Therefore, it is of vital importance to investigate product distribution in this transformation. Herein, N-heterocyclic carbene-based Ru (NHC/Ru) complexes [Ru-1]-[Ru-5] with different ancillary ligands were prepared and characterized. Based on these complexes, we selected condition A (without an added NHC precursor) and condition B (with an added NHC precursor) to comprehensively explore the selectivity and yield of the desired amides. After careful evaluation of various parameters, the Ru loadings, added NHC precursors and the electronic/steric properties of ancillary NHC ligands were found to have considerable influence on this catalytic process.

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.

Homoleptic lanthanide complex Y[N(TMS)2]3 is an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the hydroboration reduction of secondary amides and tertiary amides to corresponding amines. A series of amides containing different functional groups such as cyano, nitro, and vinyl groups were found to be well-tolerated. This transformation has also been nicely applied to the synthesis of indoles and piribedil. Detailed isotopic labeling experiments, control experiments, and kinetic studies provided cumulative evidence to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

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.
