Substitution of the dicarbaundecaborate anion nido-7,8-C2B9H12 (1) by precise hydride abstraction followed by nucleophilic attack usually leads to symmetric products 10-R-nido-7,8-C2B9H11. However, thioacetamide (MeC(S)NH2) as nucleophile and acetone/AlCl3 as hydride abstractor gave asymmetric 9-[MeC(NHiPr)S]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (2), whereas N,N-dimethylthioacetamide (MeC(S)NMe2) gave the expected symmetric 10-[MeC(NMe2)S]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (4). For the formation of 2, acetone and thioacetamide are assumed to give the intermediate MeC(S)N(CMe2) (3), which then attacks 1 with formation of 2. Similarly, reaction of acetyliminium chloride [MeC(O)NH(CPh2)]Cl (5) with 1 in THF gave a mixture of 9-and 10-substituted [MeC(NHCHPh2)O]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (6 and 7, respectively). These reactions are the first examples in which compounds (here heterodienes) that unite the functionalities of both hydride acceptor and nucleophilic site react with 1 in a bimolecular fashion. Furthermore, the analogous reaction of 1 and 5 (in an equilibrium mixture with acetyl chloride and benzophenone imine) in MeCN afforded 10-[MeC(NCPh2)NH]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (8) and MeC(O)NHCHPh2 (9).

The Ritter reaction used to be one of the most powerful synthetic tools to functionalize alcohols and nitriles, providing valuableN-alkyl amide products. However, this reaction has not been frequently used in modern organic synthesis due to its employment of strongly acidic and harsh reaction conditions, which often lead to complicated side reactions. Herein, we report the development of a new method using salts of the tropylium ion to promote the Ritter reaction. This method works well on a range of alcohol and nitrile substrates, giving the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This reaction protocol is amenable to microwave and continuous flow reactors, offering an attractive opportunity for further applications in organic synthesis.

An economically efficient and environmentally benign protocol for the chemoselective one-pot synthesis of diversely N-substituted amides has been developed in good yield through the reaction of benzylic secondary alcohols as well as aliphatic tertiary alcohols and alkyl/aryl nitriles. Commercially available Amberlyst-15(H) has been utilized at 80 °C as an air-stable and reusable heterogeneous inexpensive solid acid catalyst without any anhydrous and inert environment. The attractive features of the present synthetic protocol are mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, excellent chemoselectivity, high atom economy and tolerance of various sensitive moieties.
