- Photocatalysis in Aqueous Micellar Media Enables Divergent C-H Arylation and N-Dealkylation of Benzamides
-
Photocatalysis in aqueous micellar media has recently opened wide avenues to activate strong carbon-halide bonds. So far, however, it has mainly explored strongly reducing conditions, restricting the available chemical space to radical or anionic reactivity. Here, we demonstrate a controllable, photocatalytic strategy that channels the reaction of chlorinated benzamides via either a radical or a cationic pathway, enabling a chemodivergent C-H arylation or N-dealkylation. The catalytic system operates under mild conditions with methylene blue as a photocatalyst and blue LEDs as the light source. Factors determining the reactivity of substrates, their selectivity, and preliminary mechanistic studies are presented.

- Semi-catalytic reduction of secondary amides to imines and aldehydes
-
Secondary amides can be reduced by silane HSiMe2Ph into imines and aldehydes by a two-stage process involving prior conversion of amides into iminoyl chlorides followed by catalytic reduction mediated by the ruthenium complex [Cp(i-Pr3P)Ru(NCCH3)2]PF6 (1). Alkyl and aryl amides bearing halogen, ketone, and ester groups were converted with moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions to the corresponding imines and aldehydes. This procedure does not work for substrates bearing the nitro-group and fails for heteroaromatic amides. In the case of cyano substituted amides, the cyano group is reduced to imine.

- METHOD FOR THE CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF ACID CHLORIDES AND IMIDOYL CHLORIDES
-
The present application relates to methods for the catalytic reduction of acid chlorides and/or imidoyl chlorides. The methods comprise reacting the acid chloride or imidoyl chloride with a silane reducing agent in the presence of a catalyst such as [Cp(Pri3P)Ru(NCMe)2]+[PF6]?.
