Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.

In this study, sodium alginate was extracted from Sargassum algae, collected from coastal waters of Bushehr, Persian Gulf, Iran and used as a stabilizing and wrapping agent for CuO nanoparticles. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by some spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, such as IR, XRD, Uv-vis, BET, BJH, zeta potential, SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, and XPS. The antibacterial effects of the CuO-alginate nanocomposite against some bacteria, isolated from a burn wound, were evaluated. The results showed that this nanocomposite had better antibacterial effects than its components onPseudomonas aeruginosaATCC 27853,Staphylococcus aureusATCC 12600,Streptococcus pyogenesATCC 19615, andStaphylococcus epidermidisATCC 49461. Among these,Staphylococcus aureusATCC 12600 was the most sensitive one to this nanocomposite, with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (2.08 mg mL?1) observed. Moreover, the synthesized nanocomposite showed good catalytic activity in the oxidative coupling of carboxylic acids withN,N-dialkylformamides toward the synthesis of amides.

The commercially available and bench-stable Co(acac)2 ligated with bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether (dpephos) was employed for selective room temperature hydroboration of nitro compounds with HBPin (TOF up to 4615 h?1), tolerating halide, hydroxy, amino, ether, ester, lactone, amide and heteroaromatic functionalities. These reactions offered a direct access to a variety of N-borylamines RN(H)BPin, which were in situ treated with aldehydes and carboxylic acids to produce a series of aldimines and secondary carboxamides without the need for dehydrating and/or coupling reagents. Combination of these transformations in a sequential one-pot manner allowed for direct and selective synthesis of aldimines and secondary carboxamides from readily available and inexpensive nitro compounds.

We developed a protocol for the palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using less-toxic formamide acetals as bench-stable aminocarbonyl sources under neutral conditions. Various aryl (including heteroaryl) halides reacted with N,N-dialkylformamide acetals in the presence of a catalytic amount of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0)-chloroform adduct and xantphos to give the corresponding aromatic carboxamides at 90–140 °C without any activating agents or bases in up to quantitative chemical yield. This protocol was applied to aryl bromides, aryl iodides, and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, as well as to relatively less-reactive aryl chlorides. A wide range of functionalities on the aromatic ring of the substrates were tolerated under the aminocarbonylation conditions. The catalytic aminocarbonylation was used to prepare the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide as well as a synthetic intermediate of the dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor triazinate.

The ipso nitration of aryl boronic acid derivatives has been developed using fuming nitric acid as the nitrating agent.

Kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that the reaction order in HNO3 is >2 and indicate that the ?NO2 radical is the active species.

In this work, a series of 2-phenyl pyrimidine derivatives were prepared and their preliminary in vitro activities on B-cell leukemia cells as well as the BTK enzyme were determined. The results showed that compound 11g displayed the best inhibitory activity on BTK with an inhibition rate of 82.76% at 100 nM and excellent anti-proliferation activity on three B-cell leukemia lines (IC50 = 3.66 μM, 6.98 μM, and 5.39 μM against HL60, Raji and Ramos, respectively). Besides, the flow cytometry analysis results indicated that 11g inhibited the proliferation of the Raji cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and blocked the Ramos cells at the G0/G1 phase, which is in accordance with the positive control ibrutinib.

Oxidative amidation is a valuable process for the transformation of oxygenated organic compounds to valuable amides. However, the reaction is severely limited by the use of an expensive catalyst and limited substrate scope. To circumvent these limitations, designing a transition-metal-based nanocatalyst via more straightforward and economical methodology with superior catalytic performances with broad substrate scope is desirable. To resolve the aforementioned issues, we report a facile method for the synthesis of nanocatalysts NiO and CuO by the sol-gel-assisted thermal decomposition of complexes [Ni(hep-H)(H2O)4]SO4 (SSMP-1) and [Cu(μ-hep)(BA)]2 (SSMP-2) [hep-H = 2-(2-hydroxylethyl)pyridine; BA = benzoic acid] as single-source molecular precursors (SSMPs) for the oxidative amidation of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, and BA by using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent and as an amine source, in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, at T = 80 °C. In addition to nanocatalysts NiO and CuO, our previously reported Co/CoO nanocatalyst (CoNC), derived from the complex [CoII(hep-H)(H2O)4]SO4 (A) as an SSMP, was also explored for the aforementioned reaction. Also, we have carefully investigated the difference in the catalytic performance of Co-, Ni-, and Cu-based nanoparticles synthesized from the SSMP for the conversion of various oxygenated and unsaturated organic compounds to their respective amides. Among all, CuO showed an optimum catalytic performance for the oxidative amidation of various oxygenated and unsaturated organic compounds with a broad reaction scope. Finally, CuO can be recovered unaltered and reused for several (six times) recycles without any loss in catalytic activity.

The present work describes a highly efficient synthetic strategy for amides via oxidative coupling of benzaldehydes or benzylamines with N-substituted formamides using a heterogeneous Co/Al hydrotalcite-derived catalyst in the presence of TBHP. A series of Co/Al hydrotalcite-derived catalysts (Cat-2, Cat-3, and Cat-4 with the Co2+/Al3+ molar ratio in the synthesis mixture as 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1) have been prepared by a simple co-precipitation method and characterized using powder XRD, XPS, FEG-SEM, EDS, FT-IR, DTG-TGA and N2 physical adsorption techniques. Among the as-prepared catalysts, Cat-3 exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards the direct amidation of benzaldehydes as well as benzylamines bearing various substituents into the corresponding amides at 100 °C using TBHP as an oxidant. The mechanistic investigation of the amidation reaction revealed that the reaction follows a radical pathway. Furthermore, the catalyst is easily separable and recyclable without considerable loss in catalytic activity.

In addition, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of experimental observations.

A novel synthesis strategy for amides by oxidative amidation of aldehydes is developed using a heterogeneous Co-based catalyst. The Co composite was prepared by simple pyrolysis of a Co-containing MOF, to obtain well-dispersed Co nanoparticles enclosed by carbonized organic ligands.

A facile switch of the reaction pathways of aerobic oxidative coupling of alcohols and amines from amidation to imination was realized for the first time by tuning the Au/Pd ratios in ion-exchange resin supported Au-Pd alloy catalysts (Au-Pd/resin). Amides were obtained with high yields on Au6Pd/resin while imines were obtained over AuPd4/resin. Various alcohols and amines underwent oxidative coupling smoothly in water to afford the desired products with good to excellent yields. Further investigation on the reaction mechanism suggested the synergistic effect between Au and Pd determined the adsorption strength of the aldehyde intermediate, which in turn dictated the reaction pathways. That is, on Au-rich alloys (e.g., Au6Pd) absorbed aldehyde species was formed, followed by further oxidation to yield amides, while on Pd-rich alloys (e.g., AuPd4), free aldehyde was generated, which then underwent condensation with amines to produce imines. The discovery might provide avenues to develop new efficient catalysts for the green synthesis of special chemicals.
