A facile and effective approach toward the synthesis of primary amides from carboxylic acids has been developed. In the presence of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, a combination of ammonium thiocyanate and potassium carbonate led to the rapid conversion of carboxylic acids into the corresponding amides within five minutes grinding at room temperature. The use of ammonium thiocyanate as the amine source is unprecedented and exclusive formation of primary amides is observed only under the liquid-assisted grinding conditions.

Here, a photocatalytic deoxygenative amidation protocol using readily available amine-boranes and carboxylic acids is described. This approach features mild conditions, moderate-to-good yields, easy scale-up, and up to 62 examples of functionalized amides with diverse substituents. The synthetic robustness of this method was also demonstrated by its application in the late-stage functionalization of several pharmaceutical molecules.

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.
