-
A new green approach for the synthesis of amide through TBAI-catalyzed oxidative coupling of benzyl bromides with amine was developed in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Various electron-donating and withdrawing groups containing benzyl bromides and various amines, were subjected to the reaction and transformed to the corresponding amide in good to excellent yields.

- Amide Bond Formation via the Rearrangement of Nitrile Imines Derived from N-2-Nitrophenyl Hydrazonyl Bromides
-
We report how the rearrangement of highly reactive nitrile imines derived from N-2-nitrophenyl hydrazonyl bromides can be harnessed for the facile construction of amide bonds. This amidation reaction was found to be widely applicable to the synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides and was used as the key step in the synthesis of the lipid-lowering agent bezafibrate. The orthogonality and functional group tolerance of this approach was exemplified by the N-acylation of unprotected amino acids.

Oxidative dehydrogenative homo-coupling of amines to imines and cross-coupling of amines with alcohols to amides was achieved with high to moderate yields at room temperature in THF using Cu-MOF as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst under mild conditions. Different primary benzyl amines and alcohols could be utilized for the synthesis of a wide variety of amides and imines. The Cu-MOF catalyst could be recycled and reused four times without loss of catalytic activity.

- Photochemical Activation of Aromatic Aldehydes: Synthesis of Amides, Hydroxamic Acids and Esters
-
A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

- Synthesis of Benzoisoselenazolones via Rh(III)-Catalyzed Direct Annulative Selenation by Using Elemental Selenium
-
Isoselenazolone derivatives have attracted significant research interest because of their potent therapeutic activities and indispensable applications in organic synthesis. Efficient construction of functionalized isoselenazolone scaffolds is still challenging, and thus new synthetic approaches with improved operational simplicity have been of particular interest. In this manuscript, we introduce a rhodium-catalyzed direct selenium annulation by using stable and tractable elemental selenium. A series of benzamides as well as acrylamides were successfully coupled with selenium under mild reaction conditions, and the obtained isoselenazolones could be pivotal synthetic precursors for several organoselenium compounds. Based on the designed control experiments and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, we propose an unprecedented selenation mechanism involving a highly electrophilic Se(IV) species as the reactive selenium donor. The reaction mechanism was further verified by a computational study.

- Ammonia-borane as a Catalyst for the Direct Amidation of Carboxylic Acids
-
Ammonia-borane serves as an efficient substoichiometric (10%) precatalyst for the direct amidation of both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids. In situ generation of amine-boranes precedes the amidation and, unlike the amidation with stoichiometric amine-boranes, this process is facile with 1 equiv of the acid. This methodology has high functional group tolerance and chromatography-free purification but is not amenable for esterification. The latter feature has been exploited to prepare hydroxyl- and thiol-containing amides.

- Crystal structure of 1-(2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyloxy) benzotriazole (TCB-OBt): observation of uncommon intermolecular oxygen-oxygen interaction and synthetic application in amidation
-
Herein, we investigated the supramolecular assembly of a modified Yamaguchi reagent TCB-OBt. Interestingly, each molecule is interconnected through novel chalcogen-chalcogen (O?O) interaction, π-π stacking, and aromatic C-H?O interaction. Hirshfeld surface analysis confirmed the existence of uncommon O?O interactions. A well-organized supramolecular layer structure and helical arrangement were observed in the crystal structure. TCB-OBt crystallized in the O-substituted desmotropic form. DFT calculations suggest that the O-substituted form is more stable than theN-substituted form (TCB-(N)-OBt). Morphology analysis indicates the formation of a fantastically well organized, continuous block-shaped system. Furthermore, the designed reagent works as an efficient activating reagent for amide bond formation with good yields under mild reaction conditions. Use of this reagent avoided intractable acid chlorides, and this new mixed-anhydride-based reagent may further be applicable for many other organic transformations.

- Cobalt catalysed aminocarbonylation of thiols in batch and flow for the preparation of amides
-
The synthesis of amides from thiols through a cobalt-catalyzed aminocarbonylation is shown. After optimizing all the reaction parameters, the methodology makes possible the obtention of amides with variable yields, while competing reactions such as the formation of disulfides and ureas can be limited. The process works well with aromatic thiols with electron donating groups (EDG) whereas other thiols give reaction with lower yields. The previous process has been transferred and optimized into flow equipment, thus allowing using less CO in a safer way, and permitting the scaling up of the synthesis. Two drugs, moclobemide and itopride were prepared with this methodology, albeit only in the second case with good results. A mechanistic pathway is proposed.

To establish an environmentally friendly green chemical process, we minimized and resolved a significant proportion of waste and hazards associated with conventional organic acids and molecular gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO). Herein, we report a facile and milder reaction procedure, using low temperatures/pressures and shorter reaction time for the carboxyl- and carbonylation of diverse arrays of aryl halides over a newly developed cationic Lewis-acid promoted Pd/Co3O4catalyst. Furthermore, the reaction proceeded in the absence of acid co-catalysts, and anhydrides for CO release. Catalyst reusability was achievedviascalable, safer, and practical reactions that provided moderate to high yields, paving the way for developing a novel environmentally benign method for synthesizing carboxylic acids, amides, and esters.

- Efficient cleavage of tertiary amide bonds: Via radical-polar crossover using a copper(ii) bromide/Selectfluor hybrid system
-
A novel approach for the efficient cleavage of the amide bonds in tertiary amides is reported. Based on the selective radical abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen atom by a CuBr2/Selectfluor hybrid system followed by a selective cleavage of an N-C bond, an acyl fluoride intermediate is formed. This intermediate may then be derivatized in a one-pot fashion. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and exhibits a broad substrate scope with respect to the tertiary amide moiety as well as to nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon nucleophiles for the subsequent derivatization. Mechanistic studies suggest that the present reaction proceeds via a radical-polar crossover process that involves benzylic carbon radicals generated by the selective radical abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen atom by the CuBr2/Selectfluor hybrid system. Furthermore, a synthetic application of this method for the selective cleavage of peptides is described. This journal is

Development of rapid and operationally simple synthetic methods for acyl fluorides has always been desirable. We report herein a rapid, simple and efficient acyl fluoride synthesis from carboxylic acids with Cu(O2CCF2SO2F)2 as a deoxofluorination reagent. Notably, Cu(O2CCF2SO2F)2 was readily prepared in large scale from inexpensive starting material, and previously used as a good trifluoromethylating reagent.

- Well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene/ruthenium complexes for the alcohol amidation with amines: The dual role of cesium carbonate and improved activities applying an added ligand
-
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.

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.

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.

- Total syntheses of (?)-emestrin H and (?)-asteroxepin
-
First total syntheses of (?)-emestrin H and (?)-asteroxepin are described. To find the appropriate protecting group on the amide nitrogen of the diketopiperazine core, we conducted model studies using a simple diketopiperazine derivative. As a result, allyloxymethyl (Allom) group was the most suitable protecting group, which tolerated Nicolaou's sulfenylation conditions, and was easily cleavable under the mild conditions using Pd(PPh3)4 and N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid leaving methylthioethers intact. The general utility of Allom group for protection of amides was studied using simple substrates. Finally, the effectiveness of Allom group was proved by the accomplishment of the first total synthesis of (?)-emestrin H. Allom group was robust enough during installation of two methylthioethers to the diketopiperazine core and easily removed at the final step. The first total synthesis of (?)-asteroxepin was also completed by acylation of (?)-emestrin H.

Methods for direct functionalization of C-H bonds mediated byN-oxyl radicals constitute a powerful tool in modern organic synthesis. While severalN-oxyl radicals have been developed to date, the lack of structural diversity for these species has hampered further progress in this field.

The flexibly modifiable features of these structures enabled facile tuning of their catalytic performance. Moreover, with these organoradicals, we have developed a metal-free approach for the synthesis of acyl fluoridesviadirect C-H fluorination of aldehydes under mild conditions.

Several novel pyridine-oxadiazole iridium complexes were synthesized and characterized through X-ray crystallography.

In an attempt to achieve borrowing hydrogen reactions of amides with benzyl alcohols, N,N'-(phenylmethylene)dibenzamide products were unexpectedly isolated under non-coordinating anion conditions, whereas N-benzylbenzamide products were achieved in the absence of non-coordinating anions. The mechanism explorations excluded the possibility of “silver effect” (silver-assisted or bimetallic catalysis) and revealed that the reactivity of iridium catalyst was varied by non-coordinating anions. This work provided a convenient and useful methodology that allowed the iridium complex to be a chemoselective catalyst and demonstrated the first example of non-coordinating-anion-tuned selective C–N bond formation

To improve the in vivo antidepressant activity of previously reported serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) dual reuptake inhibitors, three series of arylamidine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The in vitro 5-HT and NE reuptake inhibitory activities of these compounds were evaluated, and compound II-5 was identified as the most potent 5-HT (IC50 = 620 nM) and NE (IC50 = 10 nM) dual reuptake inhibitor. Compound II-5 exhibited potent antidepressant activity in the rat tail suspension test and showed an acceptable safety profile in a preliminary acute toxicity test in mice. Our results show that these arylamidine derivatives exhibit potent 5-HT/NE dual reuptake inhibition and should be explored further as antidepressant drug candidates.

An efficient, simple, and metal-free synthetic approach for the N- and O-benzoylation of various amines/benzyl alcohols with pyridinium salts of phenacyl bromides is demonstrated to generate the corresponding amides and esters. This protocol facilitates the oxidative cleavage of a C–C bond followed by formation of a new C–N/C–O bond in the presence of K2CO3. Various pyridinium salts of phenacyl bromides can be readily transformed into a variety of amides and esters which is an alternative method for the conventional amidation and esterification in organic synthesis. High functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope and operational simplicity are the prominent advantages of the current protocol.

We describe the synthesis and reactivity of a new class of diazidated compounds: the 2,2-diazido-1,2-diarylethanones. The diazides are easily accessible from 1,2-diarylethanones through a mild and simple protocol for the direct oxidative diazidation, using iodine and sodium azide in DMSO at room temperature. In studies towards their reactivity with amine nucleophiles under basic conditions, the diazides are shown to undergo a controlled fragmentation reaction that provides a straightforward access to the corresponding amides. In stark contrast to our previous results on the amine-triggered fragmentation of diazidated compounds, aromatic nitriles are found to be by-products of synthetic value. The net reaction consisting of diazidation and subsequent fragmentation, thus, provides a simple way to convert 1,2-diarylethanones into both aromatic amides and nitriles.

- A Cyanide-Free Synthesis of Acylcyanides through Ru-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H-Oxidation of Benzylic Nitriles
-
A practical method for generation of acylcyanides devoid of any external cyanide sources is presented that relies on a mild Ru-catalyzed selective C?H-oxidation of benzylic nitriles. The starting materials are smoothly generated through condensation of the corresponding carboxylic acid amides using silanes. The obtained acylcyanides can be employed in a plethora of transformation as exemplified to some larger extend in the sequence of C?H-oxidation-Tischenko-rearrangement for the generation of structurally diverse benzoyloxycyanohydrines.

- FeCl2·4H2O catalyzed ritter reaction with nitriles and halohydrocarbons
-
An efficient and inexpensive synthesis of N-substituted amides from the Ritter reaction of nitriles with various halohydrocarbons catalyzed by FeCl2·4H2O is described. FeCl2·4H2O economically efficiently catalyzed the Ritter reaction under solvent-free conditions. A range of halohydrocarbons (benzyl, tert-butyl and sec-alkyl halohydrocarbons) were coupled with nitriles to provide the corresponding amides in high to excellent yields.

- Nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides with carbamoylsilanes: efficient synthesis of secondary (primary) aromatic amides
-
A nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using carbamoylsilane as an amide source leading to corresponding secondary or primary aromatic amides has been developed, in which the methoxymethyl and benzyl were used as amino protecting group. The protocol tolerates a broad range of aryl halides bearing different functional groups to afford good yields of aryl amides under mild reaction conditions. The types and the relative positions of substituents on the aryl ring make a notable impact on the coupling efficiency. The plausible mechanism of nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation has been suggested.

- Catalyst-Free, Metal-Free, and Chemoselective Transamidation of Activated Secondary Amides
-
A simple protocol, which is catalyst-free, metal-free, and chemoselective, for transamidation of activated secondary amides in ethanol as solvent under mild conditions is reported. A wide range of amines, amino acids, amino alcohols, and the substituents, which are problematic in catalyzed transamidation, are tolerated in this methodology. The transamidation reaction was successfully extended to water as the medium as well. The present methodology appears to be better than the other catalyzed transamidations reported recently.

- The magnetic graphene oxide/NHC catalyzed aerobic direct amidation and cross-dehydrogenative coupling of aldehydes
-
In this paper, the synthesis of a novel imidazolium based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) containing imidazopyridine substitutes using a three-component reaction is described. This compound was immobilized on magnetic graphene oxide (GO) to make a heterogeneous catalyst for the direct aerobic amidation of benzaldehyde derivatives under solvent-free conditions, as well as the intra-and intermolecular cross dehydrogenative coupling of aldehydes. In addition, the catalytic activity of the NHC catalyst was homogeneously studied in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles under the same conditions, and showed good activity with lower yields than the heterogeneous catalyst.

- Efficient N-Heterocyclic Carbene/Ruthenium Catalytic Systems for the Alcohol Amidation with Amines: Involvement of Poly-Carbene Complexes?
-
The atom-economic direct amidation of alcohols with amines has been recently highlighted as an attractive and promising transformation. Among the versatile reported catalytic systems, in situ generated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/ruthenium (Ru) catalytic systems have demonstrated their advantages such as easy operation and use of commercial Ru compounds. However, the existing catalyst loadings are relatively high, and additional insights for the in situ catalyst generation are still not well-documented. In this work, a variety of benzimidazole-based NHC precursors were initially synthesized. Through the screening of various NHC precursors and other reaction conditions, active in situ catalytic systems were discovered for the efficient amide synthesis. Notably, the catalyst loading is as low as 0.5 mol %. Furthermore, additional experiments were performed to validate the rationale for the superiority of the current catalytic systems over our previous system. It was observed that the ligand structure is one of the reasons for the higher activity. In addition, the higher ratio of the NHC precursor/[Ru] is another important factor for the improvement. Further HR-MS analysis identified the formation of two mono-NHC-Ru species as major species and two Ru species bearing multiple NHC ligands as minor species. Hopefully, the efficient and readily-accessible catalytic systems reported herein could demonstrate great potential for further practical applications.

- Functional Group Transposition: A Palladium-Catalyzed Metathesis of Ar-X σ-Bonds and Acid Chloride Synthesis
-
We describe the development of a new method to use palladium catalysis to form functionalized aromatics: via the metathesis of covalent σ-bonds between Ar-X fragments. This transformation demonstrates the dynamic nature of palladium-based oxidative addition/reductive elimination and offers a straightforward approach to incorporate reactive functional groups into aryl halides through exchange reactions. The reaction has been exploited to assemble acid chlorides without the use of high energy halogenating or toxic reagents and, instead, via the metathesis of aryl iodides with other acid chlorides.

- Synthesis of benzamides through direct condensation of carboxylic acids and amines in the presence of diatomite earth@IL/ZrCl4 under ultrasonic irradiation
-
A green, rapid, mild and highly efficient pathway for the preparation of benzamide derivatives is reported. The reaction was performed through direct condensation of benzoic acids and amines under ultrasonic irradiation in the presence of Lewis acidic ionic liquid immobilized on diatomite earth (diatomite earth@IL/ZrCl4). A new, highly efficient and green solid acid catalyst was easily prepared via a two-step procedure and used as an effective reusable catalyst. The prepared catalyst provides active sites for the synthesis of benzamides. The advantages of this method are the use of a superior and recoverable catalyst, low reaction times, simple procedure, high-yielding and eco-friendly process and use of ultrasonic irradiation as a green and powerful technology. Since benzamides are used widely in the pharmaceutical, paper and plastic industries, and also as an intermediate product in the synthesis of therapeutic agents, the presented new synthetic methods for this type of compounds can be of considerable importance.

- Diboron-Catalyzed Dehydrative Amidation of Aromatic Carboxylic Acids with Amines
-
Tetrakis(dimethylamido)diboron and tetrahydroxydiboron are herein reported as new catalysts for the synthesis of aryl amides by catalytic condensation of aromatic carboxylic acids with amines. The developed protocol is both simple and highly efficient over a broad range of substrates. This method thus represents an attractive approach for the use of diboron catalysts in the synthesis of amides without having to resort to stoichiometric or additional dehydrating agents.

- Application of phase-vanishing method with CO gas evolution to carbonylation reactions
-
Although carbon monoxide (CO) is considered a practical source of the carbonyl functionality in various compounds, handling CO gas is difficult. The phase-vanishing (PV) method, using highly fluorinated solvents as the phase screen, was thus employed, in which CO was evolved for use in organic synthesis. An H-shaped reactor bearing two reaction chambers was employed. In the first chamber, CO was efficiently generated from sulfuric acid and ammonium formate under the PV conditions, and then consumed in the second chamber in a range of palladium-catalysed carbonylation reactions, affording the desired products. Use of this PV system allowed for easy and safe generation of hazardous CO gas, and its use thereof in organic synthesis.
