N-Acyl lactam amides, such as benzoylpyrrolidin-2-one, benzoylpiperidin-2-one, and benzoylazepan-2-one reacted with amines in the presence of DTBP and TBAI to afford the transamidated products in good yields. The reactions were conducted under aqueous conditions and good functional group tolerance was achieved. Both aliphatic and aromatic primary amines displayed good activity under metal-free conditions. A radical reaction pathway is proposed.

In this paper, a NaOtBu-mediated synthesis approach was developed for direct amidation of unactivated esters with amines under transition-metal-free and solvent-free conditions, affording a series of amides in good to excellent yields at room temperature. In particular, an environmentally friendly and practical workup procedure, which circumvents the use of organic solvents and chromatography in most cases, was disclosed. Moreover, the gram-scale production of representative products3a,3wand3auwas efficiently realized by applying operationally simple, sustainable and practical procedures. Furthermore, this approach was also applicable to the synthesis of valuable molecules such as moclobemide (a powerful antidepressant), benodanil and fenfuram (two commercial agricultural fungicides). These results demonstrate that this protocol has the potential to streamline amide synthesis in industry. Meanwhile, quantitative green metrics of all the target products were evaluated, implying that the present protocol is advantageous over the reported ones in terms of environmental friendliness and sustainability. Finally, additional experiments and computational calculations were carried out to elucidate the mechanistic insight of this transformation, and one plausible mechanism was provided on the basis of these results and the related literature reports.

Mitochondrial complex III is one of the most promising targets for a number of pharmaceuticals and fungicides. Due to the wide-spread use of complex III-inhibiting fungicides, a considerable increase of resistance has occurred worldwide. Therefore, inhibitors with novel scaffolds and potent activity against complex III are still in great demand. In this article, a new series of amide compounds bearing the diaryl ether scaffold were designed and prepared, followed by the biological evaluation. Gratifyingly, several compounds demonstrated potent activity against succinate-cytochrome c reductase (SCR, a mixture of mitochondrial complex II and complex III), with compound 3w possessing the best inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.91 ± 0.09 μmol/L). Additional studies verified that 3w was a new inhibitor of complex III. Moreover, computational simulations elucidated that 3w should bind to the Qo site of complex III. We believe this work will be valuable for the preparation and discovery of more complex III inhibitors.

A palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl boronic acids with nitroarenes for the synthesis of amides has been developed. A wide range of substrates were well-tolerated and gave the corresponding amides in moderate to good yields. No external oxidant or reductant was needed in this procedure. This procedure provides a redox-economical process for the synthesis of amides.

The construction of amide bonds and peptide linkages is one of the most fundamental transformations in all life processes and organic synthesis. The synthesis of structurally ubiquitous amide motifs is essential in the assembly of numerous important molecules such as peptides, proteins, alkaloids, pharmaceutical agents, polymers, ligands and agrochemicals. A method of SO2F2-mediated direct clickable coupling of carboxylic acids with amines was developed for the synthesis of a broad scope of amides in a simple, mild, highly efficient, robust and practical manner (>110 examples, >90% yields in most cases). The direct click reactions of acids and amines on a gram scale are also demonstrated using an extremely easy work-up and purification process of washing with 1 M aqueous HCl to provide the desired amides in greater than 99% purity and excellent yields.

We report the design and synthesis of novel 4-(4-benzoylaminophenoxy)phenol derivatives that bind to the androgen receptor (AR) ligand-binding domain and exhibit potent androgen-antagonistic activity. Compound 22 is one of the most potent of these derivatives, inhibiting the dihydrotestosterone-promoted growth of SC-3 cell line bearing wild-type AR (IC50 0.75 μM), LNCaP cell line bearing T877A-mutated AR (IC50 0.043 μM), and 22Rv1 cell line bearing H874Y-mutated AR (IC50 0.22 μM). Structure-activity relationship studies confirmed that the pharmacophore of these novel AR antagonists is distinct from the nitro- or cyano-substituted anilide substructure of other nonsteroidal AR antagonists. This novel pharmacophore is expected to provide a basis for designing new antiprostate cancer agents.

A new bulky biarylphosphine ligand (L8) has been developed that allows the Pd-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling of a wide range of aryl halides and phenols under milder conditions than previously possible. A direct correlation between the size of the ligand substituents in the 2′, 4′, and 6′ positions of the nonphosphine containing ring and the reactivity of the derived catalyst system was observed. Specifically, the rate of coupling increased with the size of these substituents.

(Chemical Equation Presented) An efficient copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction of phenols, amides, and 4-bromphenyl iodide was developed that uses commercially available N,N-dimethylglycine as the ligand. This multicomponent reaction proceeds in moderate to good yields for a range of phenols and amides. The simple experimental procedure and high levels of functional group compatibility make this method attractive for applications on pesticides.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A general nonoxidative N-amidation of organostannanes and boronic acids has been developed. Under nonbasic conditions a wide variety of aryl, alkenyl, and heteroaryl organostannanes and boronic acids couple efficiently with O-acetyl hydroxamic acids in the presence of Cu(I) sources.
N-arylbenzonitrilium ions. Photochemical generation and effect of substituents in the phenyl rings on lifetimes in water and reactivity with azide ion

Nitrilium ions Ar-C≡N+-Ar′ have been studied by laser flash photolysis in aqueous solutions containing 20% acetonitrile. The cations were generated by photoheterolysis of benzimidate esters Ar-CZ=N-Ar′ (Z = -OC6H4-4-CN) with 4-cyanophenoxide as the photochemical leaving group. Rate constants for the reaction with water (kw), azide ion (kaz) and hydroxide (kOH) were measured. The cation Ph-C≡N+-Ph is only 50-fold shorter lived in water compared to Ph-C≡N+-iPr (2); thus the effect of replacing an N-alkyl group with N-phenyl is modest. These two cations are also shown to have similar lifetimes to iminium analogs, e.g. Ph-CH=N+ (Me)-Ph. Thus, addition of water to analogous sp and sp2 hybridized systems occurs at a similar rate, and the increased steric access to the nitrilium plays at most a modest role. For the series where substituents in Ar′ were varied with Ar equal to phenyl, the Hammett plot for log kw correlated with σ, with ρ = - 1.4. For the series where Ar was varied, the data correlated much better with σ+, although ρ+ was only -0.6. This remarkably small effect of substituents in Ar constrasts with the effects seen in benzylic carbocations, but is consistent with the nitrilium structure, with most of the positive charge located on the nitrogen. Rate constant ratios kaz:kw, including the N-alkylnitrilium ion 2, are constant at ~104, with values of kaz well below the diffusion limit, even for the most reactive nitrilium ions. This is very different behaviour from that of carbocations and arylnitrenium ions of similar lifetimes in water. For these cations the rate constants kaz would be at or at least approaching the diffusion limit.
