A highly copper-catalysed amide exchange reaction of hexamethylenediamine (HDA) with CH3CN and H2O for the synthesis of hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) without an organic solvent or gas protection was developed. 100% HDA conversion and >99% HMBA selectivity was obtained. X-ray diffraction, scanning emission microscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction of hydrogen were used to characterize the structural properties of the catalyst. The reaction mechanism was also investigated.
A Simple and Economic Synthesis of Monoacylated Alkanediamines by Thermal Transamidation

N-(ω-Aminoalkyl)amides 2 are easily synthesized by heating mixtures of excess α,ω-alkanediamines 1 and primary amides to temperatures between 150 deg C and 200 deg C, at which thermal transamidation occurs.Under the reaction conditions ammonia is released, and 2 is in equilibrium with the alkanediamine 1 and the α,ω-bis(acylamino)alkane 3.Thus, thermal transamidation is a practicable way to overcome the problem of diacylation which appears as an often recognized problem even in the latest literature.
