Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase: A useful biocatalyst for aminolysis reactions

The use of Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase (PSL) as a biocatalyst for aminolysis reactions with bulky substrates has been investigated. PSL compared favorably to Novozym 435 (immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B, NOV435) in the aminolysis of various bulky methyl esters and amines. While NOV435 demonstrated a higher rate of aminolysis with methyl 2-phenylpropionic acid as the acyl donor, PSL outperformed NOV435 with secondary amines as the nucleophile. Methanol inhibition and a low affinity for bulky acyl donors were found to be the two main reasons for relatively low rates in the PSL-catalyzed aminolysis reactions. It was demonstrated that the use of molsieve 4A had a significant effect on the aminolysis rate and amide yield, since it enabled the effective removal of the inhibiting methanol from the reaction mixture.

Direct NHC-catalysed redox amidation using CO2 for traceless masking of amine nucleophiles

The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalysed redox amidation reaction is poorly developed and usually requires catalytic co-additives for electron-rich amine nucleophiles. We report a masking strategy (using CO2) that couples release of the free amine nucleophile to catalytic turnover, and in doing so, enables direct catalytic redox amidation of electron-rich amines.

Practical one-pot amidation of N -Alloc-, N -Boc-, and N -Cbz protected amines under mild conditions

A facile one-pot synthesis of amides from N-Alloc-, N-Boc-, and N-Cbz-protected amines has been described. The reactions involve the use of isocyanate intermediates, which are generated in situ in the presence of 2-chloropyridine and trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride, to react with Grignard reagents to produce the corresponding amides. Using this reaction protocol, a variety of N-Alloc-, N-Boc-, and N-Cbz-protected aliphatic amines and aryl amines were efficiently converted to amides with high yields. This method is highly effective for the synthesis of amides and offers a promising approach for facile amidation.

Method for selective reduction α, β - unsaturated carbonyl compound carbon-carbon double bond (by machine translation)

The invention discloses a method for selectively reducing carbon-carbon double bonds in α and β - unsaturated carbonyl compounds, which comprises the following steps of adding α, β - unsaturated carbonyl compounds shown in formula (I) in an electrolysis system and reducing α and β - unsaturated carbonyl compounds with carbonyl-conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds through an electrochemical cathodic reduction reaction. Compared with the reported method, the method disclosed by the invention does not use a metal catalyst and an external oxidant; and the reaction raw material and the electrolyte are low in price, nontoxic and tasteless, simple and convenient in post-treatment.

A Hydroperoxide-Mediated Decarboxylation of α-Ketoacids Enables the Chemoselective Acylation of Amines

Strategies for the formation of amide bonds, that is, one of the most basic and important transformations in organic synthesis, have so far focused predominantly on dehydration reactions. Herein, we report and demonstrate the practical utility of a novel decarboxylative amidation of α-ketoacids by using inexpensive tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), which is characterized by high yields, a broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and a unique chemoselectivity. These features enable the synthesis of peptides from amino acid derived α-ketoacids under preservation of the stereochemical information.

Broadly Applicable Ytterbium-Catalyzed Esterification, Hydrolysis, and Amidation of Imides

An efficient, broadly applicable, operationally simple, and divergent process for the transformation of imides into a range of carboxylic acid derivatives under mild conditions is reported. By simply using catalytic amounts of ytterbium(III) triflate as a Lewis acid promoter in the presence of alcohols, water, amines, or N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine, a broad range of imides is smoothly and readily converted to the corresponding esters, carboxylic acids, amides, and Weinreb amides in good yields. This method notably enables an easy cleavage of oxazolidinone-based auxiliaries.

Nickel/Photoredox-Catalyzed Amidation via Alkylsilicates and Isocyanates

A nickel/photoredox, dual-catalyzed amidation reaction between alkylsilicate reagents and alkyl/aryl isocyanates is reported. In contrast to the previously reported reductive coupling process, this protocol is characterized by mild reaction conditions and the absence of a stoichiometric reductant. A mechanistic hypothesis involving a nickel-isocyanate adduct is proposed based on literature precedent and further validation by experimental results.

Accessing N-Acyl Azoles via Oxoammonium Salt-Mediated Oxidative Amidation

An operationally simple, robust, metal-free approach to the synthesis of N-acyl azoles from both alcohols and aldehydes is described. Oxidative amidation is facilitated by a commercially available organic oxidant (4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate) and proceeds under very mild conditions for an array of structurally diverse substrates. Tandem reactions of these activated amides, such as transamidation and esterification, enable further elaboration. Also, the spent oxidant can be recovered and used to regenerate the oxoammonium salt.

Intermolecular Schmidt reaction of alkyl azides with acyl silanes

The first intermolecular Schmidt reaction of alkyl azides with acyl silanes has been designed and realized, producing a range of amides with absolute site selectivity in good to excellent yields. The mechanism of the conversion has been proposed, and the reaction exhibits scope of substrates.

Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols and aldehydes: Effective conversion of amines and anilines into amides

The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols and aldehydes is reported. In situ generated [(BINAP)Rh]BF4 catalyzes the one-pot isomerization/oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols or direct amidation of aldehydes using acetone or styrene as the hydrogen acceptor. The conditions are general, affording good to excellent yields with a wide array of amine and aniline nucleophiles, and chemoselective, other alcohols do not participate in the oxidation reaction. Utilization of biphasic conditions is critical, as they promote an equilibrium between the imine/enamine byproducts and the hemiaminal, which can undergo oxidation to the amide.
