- Mechanochemical synthesis of half-sandwich iridium/rhodium complexes with 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives ligands
-
Mechanochemistry provides a rapid, efficient route to half-sandwich iridium and rhodium complexes from [MCp*(μ-Cl)Cl]2 (M = Ir, Rh) and 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carbaldehyde without the need for Schlenk manipulation, inert gas protection, or dry solvents. Furthermore, post-synthetic modification of the half-sandwich metal complexes has been carried out via a mechanochemical Wittig reaction between half-sandwich metal complex and phosphorus ylide. All complexes were fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectra, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The half-sandwich rhodium complexes exhibited high catalytic activity towards the amide synthesis between aldehyde and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH2OH·HCl) with a broad functional group tolerance.

- Nitrogen Atom Transfer Catalysis by Metallonitrene C?H Insertion: Photocatalytic Amidation of Aldehydes
-
C?H amination and amidation by catalytic nitrene transfer are well-established and typically proceed via electrophilic attack of nitrenoid intermediates. In contrast, the insertion of (formal) terminal nitride ligands into C?H bonds is much less developed and catalytic nitrogen atom transfer remains unknown. We here report the synthesis of a formal terminal nitride complex of palladium. Photocrystallographic, magnetic, and computational characterization support the assignment as an authentic metallonitrene (Pd?N) with a diradical nitrogen ligand that is singly bonded to PdII. Despite the subvalent nitrene character, selective C?H insertion with aldehydes follows nucleophilic selectivity. Transamidation of the benzamide product is enabled by reaction with N3SiMe3. Based on these results, a photocatalytic protocol for aldehyde C?H trimethylsilylamidation was developed that exhibits inverted, nucleophilic selectivity as compared to typical nitrene transfer catalysis. This first example of catalytic C?H nitrogen atom transfer offers facile access to primary amides after deprotection.

- Sustainable synthesis of drug intermediates via simultaneous utilization of carbon monoxide and ammonia over Pd@La-MOF
-
Mitigation of carbon monoxide and ammonia to valuable primary aromatic amides is an imperative approach to control the environmentally harmful emissions thereby infusing towards sustainability. Designing of nanostructured catalyst for direct access to the synthetically valuable primary aromatic and heteroaromatic amides via carbonylative amination of aryl halides is always demanding since nano materials can bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis thus preserving the desirable attributes of both the systems towards sustainable catalysis. Herein, microwave assisted fabrication of highly uniform Pd NPs (3,4 nm) over La-MOFs has been performed and utilized efficiently for ligand free carbonylative amination of aryl iodides with carbon monoxide and ammonia. Moderate to high yields of benzamide derivatives, salicylamide, a drug having analgesic and antipyretic properties were achieved. The unsaturated metal sites in the MOF via synergistic mode of σ and π bonding binds with CO, which significantly enhances the catalytic activity of MOF-composite unlike other supported Pd NPs. DFT confirms the growth of pristine Pd13 cluster within the framework, as active metal center for the carbonylative amination.

- A “universal” catalyst for aerobic oxidations to synthesize (hetero)aromatic aldehydes, ketones, esters, acids, nitriles, and amides
-
Functionalized (hetero)aromatic compounds are indispensable chemicals widely used in basic and applied sciences. Among these, especially aromatic aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles, and amides represent valuable fine and bulk chemicals, which are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material industries. For their synthesis, catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols constitutes a green, sustainable, and cost-effective process, which should ideally make use of active and selective 3D metals. Here, we report the preparation of graphitic layers encapsulated in Co-nanoparticles by pyrolysis of cobalt-piperazine-tartaric acid complex on carbon as a most general oxidation catalyst. This unique material allows for the synthesis of simple, functionalized, and structurally diverse (hetero)aromatic aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles, and amides from alcohols in excellent yields in the presence of air.

- Aerobic oxidation of primary amines to amides catalyzed by an annulated mesoionic carbene (MIC) stabilized Ru complex
-
Catalytic aerobic oxidation of primary amines to the amides, using the precatalyst [Ru(COD)(L1)Br2] (1) bearing an annulated π-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene ligand L1, is disclosed. This catalytic protocol is distinguished by its high activity and selectivity, wide substrate scope and modest reaction conditions. A variety of primary amines, RCH2NH2 (R = aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic), are converted to the corresponding amides using ambient air as an oxidant in the presence of a sub-stoichiometric amount of KOtBu in tBuOH. A set of control experiments, Hammett relationships, kinetic studies and DFT calculations are undertaken to divulge mechanistic details of the amine oxidation using 1. The catalytic reaction involves abstraction of two amine protons and two benzylic hydrogen atoms of the metal-bound primary amine by the oxo and hydroxo ligands, respectively. A β-hydride transfer step for the benzylic C-H bond cleavage is not supported by Hammett studies. The nitrile generated by the catalytic oxidation undergoes hydration to afford the amide as the final product. This journal is

A series of β-ketoamino-based N,O-chelate half-sandwich iridium complexes with the general formula [Cp*IrClL] have been prepared in good yields. These air-insensitive iridium complexes showed desirable catalytic activity in an amide preparation under mild conditions. A number of amides with diverse substituted groups were furnished in a one-pot reaction with good-to-excellent yields through an amidation reaction of NH2OH·HCl with aldehydes in the presence of these iridium(III) precursors. The excellent catalytic activity, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope gave this type of iridium catalyst potential for use in industry. All of the obtained iridium complexes were well characterized by different spectroscopy techniques. The exact molecular structure of complex 3 has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

-
In this research, a Cu(II) contained nano-silica triazine based dendrimer was prepared, characterized, and utilized as a retrievable catalytic system (Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2) for green formation of primary amides in water at room temperature. The structure of nanoparticles was fully characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The results revealed that the nanoparticles have spherical morphology and an average size of around 40 nm. The analysis also illustrated that the copper nanoparticles had been successfully loaded on the nitrogen-rich dendritic structure with a uniform distribution. The inductively coupled plasma analysis showed that about 0.67 mmol/g of Cu was loaded on the Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2 support. Mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, environment-friendly synthesis, and easily prepared starting materials are the key features of the present method. The catalyst is easily removed from the reaction media using a simple filtration and can be re-used at least five times without any considerable loss of its catalytic activity.

Five novel heterogeneous mononuclear complex-anchored Ru(III) have been efficiently sono-synthesized and characterized by utilizing several analytical techniques. The assembled complexes could be utilized as effective, robust and recyclable (up to eight consecutive runs) catalysts for one-pot transformation of a vast array of nitriles and aldehydes to primary amides in H2O under aerobic conditions. Moreover, some unreported di- and tetra-amide derivatives were obtained also under the optimal conditions. The results of ICP/OES analysis demonstrated that there is no detected leaching of the recycled catalyst, which suggests the real heterogeneity of the present protocol. The present Ru-complexes exhibited superiority compared to other reported catalysts for amide preparation in terms of low catalyst load, short reaction time, low operating temperature, no hazardous additives required, and high values of TON (990) and TOF (1980 h11).

Novel and efficient base-mediated N-alkylation and amidation of amidines with alcohols have been developed, which can be carried out in one-pot reaction conditions, which allows for the synthesis of a wide range of N-alkyl amines and free amides in good to excellent yields with high atom economy. In contrast to borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer or oxidative-type N-alkylation reactions, in which alcohols are activated by transition-metal-catalyzed or oxidative aerobic dehydrogenation, the use of amidines provides an effective surrogate of amines. This circumvents the inherent necessity in N-alkylation of an oxidant or a catalyst to be stabilized by ligands.

- Supported palladium catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides employing bench-stable CO and NH3surrogates
-
A simple, efficient and phosphine free protocol for carbonylative synthesis of primary aromatic amides under polystyrene supported palladium (Pd?PS) nanoparticle (NP) catalyzed conditions has been demonstrated. Herein, instead of using two toxic and difficult to handle gases simultaneously, we have employed the solid, economical, bench stable oxalic acid as the CO source and ammonium carbamate as the NH3source in a single pot reaction. For the first time, we have applied two non-gaseous surrogates simultaneously under heterogeneous catalyst (Pd?PS) conditions for the synthesis of primary amides using an easy to handle double-vial (DV) system. The developed strategy showed a good functional group tolerance towards a wide range of aryl iodides and afforded primary aromatic amides in good yields. The Pd?PS catalyst was easy to separate and can be recycled up to four consecutive runs with small loss in catalytic activity. We have successfully extended the scope of the methodology to the synthesis of isoindole-1,3-diones from 1,2-dihalobenzene, 2-halobenzoates and 2-halobenzoic acid following double and single carbonylative cyclization approaches.

The NR?MnOx exhibits fast kinetics and high selectivities in these steps, as well as hinders the by-product formation. More importantly, the NR-MnOx catalyst is stable and reusable in the continuous recycle tests with water as a sole by-product, exhibiting superior sustainability and significant advancement to outperform the traditional amide production route in acidic or basic media with toxic by-products.

A new family of O, N donor-functionalized (4-phenoxyphenylazo)-2-naphthol/4-substituted phenol-based ligands (HL1-HL4)has been synthesized. The prepared ligands were successfully utilized for the access of a series of ruthenium(II)carbonyl complexes of the type [Ru(L)Cl(CO)(EPh3)3](E = phosphine/arsine), (L = 1-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-2-naphthol (HL1), 2-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-4-chlorophenol (HL2), 2-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-4-methylphenol (HL3)and 2-(4-phenoxyphenylazo)-4-methoxyphenol (HL4)). All of the ruthenium(II)carbonyl complexes and ligands have been fully characterized by FT-IR, UV–visible, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, mass spectrometry and CHN analysis. The ligands have been analyzed by 13C NMR. The UV–visible spectroscopic study reveals that both the ligands and Ru(II)complexes exhibit excellent charge transfer transitions. This is the basic criteria for the oxidative amidation reaction, which is an influential strategy for the transformation of oxygenated organic compounds to the profitable amides. However, this catalytic process makes more impact on the application of new divalent ruthenium(II)azo compounds as catalyst in a single-pot conversion of aldehydes to amides in the presence of NaHCO3.

- (Ar-tpy)RuII(ACN)3: A Water-Soluble Catalyst for Aldehyde Amidation, Olefin Oxo-Scissoring, and Alkyne Oxygenation

The synthetic chemists always look for developing new catalysts, sustainable catalysis, and their applications in various organic transformations. Herein, we report a new class of water-soluble complexes, (Ar-tpy)RuII(ACN)3, utilizing designed terpyridines possessing electron-donating and -withdrawing aromatic residues for tuning the catalytic activity of the Ru(II) complex. These complexes displayed excellent catalytic activity for several oxidative organic transformations including late-stage C-H functionalization of aldehydes with NH2OR to valuable primary amides in nonconventional aqueous media with excellent yield. Its diverse catalytic power was established for direct oxo-scissoring of a wide range of alkenes to furnish aldehydes and/or ketones in high yield using a low catalyst loading in the water. Its smart catalytic activity under mild conditions was validated for dioxygenation of alkynes to highly demanding labile synthons, 1,2-diketones, and/or acids. This general and sustainable catalysis was successfully employed on sugar-based substrates to obtain the chiral amides, aldehydes, and labile 1,2-diketones. The catalyst is recovered and reused with a moderate turnover. The proposed mechanistic pathway is supported by isolation of the intermediates and their characterization. This multifaceted sustainable catalysis is a unique tool, especially for late-stage functionalization, to furnish the targeted compounds through frequently used amidation and oxygenation processes in the academia and industry.

A new heterogeneous catalytic system (Ti-superoxide/saccharin/TBHP) has been developed that efficiently catalyzes oxidative amidation of aldehydes to produce various primary amides. The protocol employs saccharin as amine source and was found to tolerate a wide range of substrates with different functional groups. Moderate to excellent yields, catalyst reusability and operational simplicity are the main highlights. A possible mechanism and the role of the catalyst in oxidative amidation have also been discussed.

- Selectivity-tunable amine aerobic oxidation catalysed by metal-free N,O-doped carbons
-
Herein, we present a series of N,O-doped mesoporous carbons obtained at different pyrolysis temperatures as the first metal-free catalysts which successfully switch between imine and nitrile products for amine oxidation. Systematic characterization studies and control experiments revealed that the C-O group on the surface could function as a catalytically active site for nitrile synthesis and the N-doping environment was essential.

- Three step, one-pot process to prepare thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (TCC), a key raw material in the manufacture of tioxazafen (Nemastrike)
-
Nematodes are parasitic organisms that cause significant damage to crops. Tioxazafen (Nemastrike), is a proprietary seed treatment being developed by Bayer AG as a broad-spectrum nematicide. Thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (TCC) is the key raw material in the manufacture of tioxazafen. Current manufacturing routes to TCC suffer from byproduct formation and significant waste generation, which leads to high manufacturing cost. A potentially more cost-effective process for preparing TCC from commercial thiophene has been developed. The advantages of this new chemical approach are illustrated in the processing details described in this Letter.

- Design and synthesis of heteroaromatic-based benzenesulfonamide derivatives as potent inhibitors of H5N1 influenza A virus
-
Influenza A virus is an enveloped negative single-stranded RNA virus that causes febrile respiratory infection and represents a clinically challenging threat to human health and even lives worldwide. Even more alarming is the emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strains such as H5N1, which possess much higher mortality rate (60%) than seasonal influenza strains in human infection. In this study, a novel series of heteroaromatic-based benzenesulfonamide derivatives were identified as M2 proton channel inhibitors. A systematic investigation of the structure-activity relationships and a molecular docking study demonstrated that the sulfonamide moiety and 2,5-dimethyl-substituted thiophene as the core structure played significant roles in the anti-influenza activity. Among the derivatives, compound 11k exhibited excellent antiviral activity against H5N1 virus with an EC50 value of 0.47 μM and selectivity index of 119.9, which are comparable to those of the reference drug amantadine.

- Highly Selective Ruthenium-Catalyzed Direct Oxygenation of Amines to Amides
-
Reports on aerobic oxidation of amines to amides are rare, and those reported suffer from several limitations like poor yield or selectivity and make use of pure oxygen under elevated pressure. Herein, we report a practical and an efficient ruthenium-catalyzed synthetic protocol that enables selective oxidation of a broad range of primary aliphatic, heterocyclic and benzylic amines to their corresponding amides, using readily available reagents and ambient air as the sole oxidant. Secondary amines instead, yield benzamides selectively as the sole product. Mechanistic investigations reveal intermediacy of nitriles, which undergo hydration to afford amide as the final product.

- Water-soluble superbulky (η6- p -cymene) ruthenium(ii) amine: An active catalyst in the oxidative homocoupling of arylboronic acids and the hydration of organonitriles
-
A phosphine free water-soluble superbulky amine-ruthenium-arene complex (2) encompassing 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methylaniline was synthesised in good yield. 2 was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies, TGA and elemental analyses. The structure of 2 was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The ruthenium centre in 2 adopts the pseudo-octahedral geometry due to the η6-p-cymene ring and bulky aniline ligand along with two chloro groups. Besides, complex 2 was efficaciously employed as a catalyst in the hydration of organonitriles to amides. This reaction proceeds efficiently for a wide range of substrates in an environmentally benign medium and is an economically reasonable synthetic route to amides in good yields. In addition, 2 acts as an excellent catalyst in the oxidative homocoupling of arylboronic acids in water. A range of arylboronic acids undergo a homocoupling reaction in the presence of catalyst 2 to yield symmetrical biaryls in reasonable to good yields.

- Magnetic Nanoparticle-Supported Cu–NHC Complex as an Efficient and Recoverable Catalyst for Nitrile Hydration
-
Magnetic nanoparticles supported N-heterocyclic carbene–Cu complex was prepared and authenticated by FT-IR, SEM, EDX, VSM, powder-XRD. The catalytic activity of these magnetically retrievable NPs was investigated for hydration of nitriles as the simplest route for the synthesis of amides in an atom-economical manner. A wide range of nitriles containing various functional groups such as olefin, aldehyde, nitro, carboxylic acid was examined in this transformation to generate their corresponding amides in the aqueous medium. The immobilized catalyst was easily recovered using an external magnet and reused for six times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

A continuous-flow synthesis of primary amides from hydrolysis of nitriles using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant has been developed. Using this procedure, a variety of nitriles could be smoothly transformed into the desired primary amides in good to excellent yields. The mild reaction conditions and the flowing reaction system greatly improved the safety and make the reaction easy to scale up.

- Stable and reusable nanoscale Fe2O3-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process for the selective synthesis of nitriles and primary amides
-
The sustainable introduction of nitrogen moieties in the form of nitrile or amide groups in functionalized molecules is of fundamental interest because nitrogen-containing motifs are found in a large number of life science molecules, natural products and materials. Hence, the synthesis and functionalization of nitriles and amides from easily available starting materials using cost-effective catalysts and green reagents is highly desired. In this regard, herein we report the nanoscale iron oxide-catalyzed environmentally benign synthesis of nitriles and primary amides from aldehydes and aqueous ammonia in the presence of 1 bar O2 or air. Under mild reaction conditions, this iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process proceeds to synthesise functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic nitriles. Additionally, applying this iron-based protocol, primary amides have also been prepared in a water medium.

- Novel design of recyclable copper(II) complex supported on magnetic nanoparticles as active catalyst for Beckmann rearrangement in poly(ethylene glycol)
-
Copper complex-functionalized magnetic core–shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-Lig-Cu) were prepared and characterized using various techniques. The activity of the new catalyst was tested for the Beckmann rearrangement. The reaction conditions allow for the conversion of a wide variety of aldoximes, including aromatic and heterocyclic ones, to amides in good to excellent yields. High efficiency, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, use of poly(ethylene glycol) as a green medium and simple purification of products are important advantages of this system. Moreover, the eco-friendly heterogeneous nanocatalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture using an external magnet and reused several times.

- Mechanistic Studies of Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation of Aryl Chlorides with Carbon Monoxide and Ammonia
-
Mechanistic information on a reliable, palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl chlorides with ammonia is reported. The reaction occurs with ethylene complex 1 as catalyst, and mechanistic information was gained by isolation of catalytic intermediates and kinetic measurements, including the first mechanistic data on the oxidative addition of aryl chloride to a palladium(0) complex in the presence of CO. Arylpalladium and phenacylpalladium halide intermediates were synthesized, and kinetic measurements of the formation and reactions of these intermediates were undertaken to determine the mechanism of the oxidative addition of aryl bromides and chlorides to a Pd(0) dicarbonyl compound in the presence of CO and the mechanism of the reaction of ammonia with a Pd(II) phenacyl complex to form benzamide. The oxidative addition of aryl chlorides and aryl bromides was determined to occur with rate-limiting reaction of the haloarene with a three-coordinate Pd(0) species bearing a bidentate phosphine and one CO ligand. A primary 13C kinetic isotope effect suggested that this step involves cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond. Our data show that the formation of benzamide from the reaction of phenacylpalladium halide complexes with ammonia occurs by a pathway involving reversible displacement of chloride from a phenacylpalladium chloride complex by ammonia, deprotonation of the bound ammonia to form a phenacylpalladium amido complex, and reductive elimination to form the C-N bond. Consistent with this mechanism, the reaction of an aryl palladium amido complex with CO formed the corresponding primary benzamide. A catalyst deactivation pathway involving the formation of a Pd(I) dimer also was elucidated.

- A Brevibacterium process for synthesizing amide
-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing amide through nitrile hydrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: adding nitrile, acetaldoxime, water, a water-soluble rhodium complex to a reaction vessel, and cooling to room temperature after reaction of a reaction mixture for several hours at the temperature of 50-80 DEG C; and adding ethyl acetate for extraction so as to obtain an organic layer, and carrying out rotary evaporation to remove a solvent, thus obtaining a target product. Compared with a method for synthesizing amide through nitrile hydrolysis by using oxime as a water source in a transition metal catalysis process, the method has the advantages that a used catalyst is low in loading and does not contain a phosphine ligand seriously polluting environments, synthesis can be performed in air, and nitrogen protection is not needed; and therefore, the method meets the green chemistry requirements and has a wide development prospect.
