Shi, Weijia,Sun, Guoping,Zou, Gang
, (2020)
A ball-milling enabled chemoselective activation of amides via N-tert-butoxycarbonylation catalyzed by 4-dimethylaminopyridine is described under solvent-free conditions. High chemoselectivity with respect to NH acidity of amides has been observed. A one-pot two-step procedure for selective esterification of amides has been demonstrated in model reaction of benzamides with p-cresol and benzyl alcohol.

The direct synthesis of sulfoxonium ylides from amides by selective N-C(O) cleavage is presented. The reaction proceeds through the nucleophilic addition of dimethylsulfoxonium methylide to the amide bond in acyclic twisted amides under exceedingly mild r

We report the rhodium-catalyzed base-free decarbonylative borylation of twisted amides. The synthesis of versatile arylboronate esters from aryl twisted amides is achieved via decarbonylative rhodium(I) catalysis and highly selective N-C(O) insertion. The method is notable for a very practical, additive-free Rh(I) catalyst system. The method shows broad functional group tolerance and excellent substrate scope, including site-selective decarbonylative borylation/Heck cross-coupling via divergent N-C/C-Br cleavage and late-stage pharmaceutical borylation.

We report herein a green strategy for synthesis of aryl ketones from twisted amides by using Pd(OAc)2 as catalysts. This method shows high functional group tolerance to offer a variety of ketones in good yields under mild conditions (up to 94 %). Notably, this methodology demonstrates the first water phase, room temperature, ligand-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling through C–N bond cleavage, which is environmentally friendly and might facilitate the development of amide based green chemistry.

The first fluoride and palladium co-catalyzed conversion of amide to ester through an aerobic oxidative coupling pathway is reported. This new approach presents a practical process that employs easily available oxygen and commercially available arylboronic acids as coupling partners, uses a wide range of N- tosylamides, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. This protocol demonstrates broad functional group tolerance, and provides an alternative option to synthesize esters from N-tosylamides which obtained by simply N-functionalization of secondary amides.

We report herein a two-step one-pot strategy for the synthesis of benzoxazoles from amides by using cesium fluoride/copper as catalysts. This approach involves the in situ generation of acyl fluorides from the corresponding amides, and the acyl fluorides undergo transamidation and cyclization to give benzoxazoles in good yields. In this work, the amide C?N bonds are activated by CsF to form the acyl fluoride intermediates, which further react with o-bromoanilines to efficiently yield benzoxazoles. Notably, this methodology demonstrates a broad substrate scope, as primary/secondary benzamides are well tolerated, and this process might facilitate the development of one-pot transformations of amides. (Figure presented.).

Conversion of a wide range of N-Boc amides to aryl ketones was achieved with Grignard reagents via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage. The reactions proceeded under catalyst-free conditions with different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide diaryl propiophenones. N-Boc amides displayed higher reactivity than Weinreb amides with Grignard reagents. A broad substrate scope, excellent yields, and quick conversion are important features of this methodology.

A mild, efficient, and transition-metal-free catalytic strategy is developed to construct thioesters via selective N–C bond cleavage of Boc2-activated primary amides. This strategy is successfully carried out with stoichiometric Na2C

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that amide carbon–nitrogen bonds can be activated and selectively cleaved using transition metal catalysts. However, these methodologies have been restricted to specific amides; a one-to-one relationship exists between the catalytic system and the amides and also uses large amounts of transition-metal catalysts and ligands. Hence, we now report a general strategy for esterification of common amides using fluoride as a catalyst. This method shows high functional group tolerance, and notably it requires only a slight excess of the alcohol nucleophile, which is a rare case in transition-metal-free amide transformations. Moreover, this approach may provide a new understanding for further studies on esterification of amides and is expected to stimulate the development of alternative methods for direct functionalization of amides.

Since the seminal studies by Pauling in 1930s, planarity has become the defining characteristic of the amide bond. Planarity of amides has central implications for the reactivity and chemical properties of amides of relevance to a range of chemical disciplines. While the vast majority of amides are planar, nonplanarity has a profound effect on the properties of the amide bond, with the most common method to restrict the amide bond relying on the incorporation of the amide function into a rigid cyclic ring system. In a major departure from this concept, here, we report the first class of acyclic twisted amides that can be prepared, reversibly, from common primary amides in a single, operationally trivial step. Di-tert-butoxycarbonylation of the amide nitrogen atom yields twisted amides in which the amide bond exhibits nearly perpendicular twist. Full structural characterization of a range of electronically diverse compounds from this new class of twisted amides is reported. Through reactivity studies we demonstrate unusual properties of the amide bond, wherein selective cleavage of the amide bond can be achieved by a judicious choice of the reaction conditions. Through computational studies we evaluate structural and energetic details pertaining to the amide bond deformation. The ability to selectively twist common primary amides, in a reversible manner, has important implications for the design and application of the amide bond nonplanarity in structural chemistry, biochemistry and organic synthesis.
