Copper(II) acetate is a versatile catalyst for the direct transformation of any type of aldehydes into primary amides by stoichiometric reaction with hydroxylamine in water. The catalyst could be recovered 10 times without losing its activity, just by a simple organic layer extraction of the product. The catalyst and the protocol avoid the use of any type of expensive and difficult to handle organic ligand, as well as bases, showing excellent yields, under mild reaction conditions. The great purity of the crude product permits its purification by a simple recrystallization process. The whole protocol fulfils the principle of green chemistry and sustainability, minimizing the use of organic solvents and any type of wastes.

The hexahydride OsH6(PiPr3)2 competently catalyzes the hydration of aliphatic nitriles to amides. The main metal species under the catalytic conditions are the trihydride osmium(IV) amidate derivatives OsH3{κ2-N,O-[HNC(O)R]}(PiPr3)2, which have been isolated and fully characterized for R = iPr and tBu. The rate of hydration is proportional to the concentrations of the catalyst precursor, nitrile, and water. When these experimental findings and density functional theory calculations are combined, the mechanism of catalysis has been established. Complexes OsH3{κ2-N,O-[HNC(O)R]}(PiPr3)2 dissociate the carbonyl group of the chelate to afford κ1-N-amidate derivatives, which coordinate the nitrile. The subsequent attack of an external water molecule to both the C(sp) atom of the nitrile and the N atom of the amidate affords the amide and regenerates the κ1-N-amidate catalysts. The attack is concerted and takes place through a cyclic six-membered transition state, which involves Cnitrile···O-H···Namidate interactions. Before the attack, the free carbonyl group of the κ1-N-amidate ligand fixes the water molecule in the vicinity of the C(sp) atom of the nitrile.

We achieved chemoselective synthesis of α-alkylated arylacetonitriles and acetamides by combining Ir complex-catalysed direct coupling of alcohols and nitriles by a simple adjustment of the base. Methanol and ethanol performed well as the alkylating reagents. This method of acetonitrile alkylation provided a novel approach for carbon chain extension.

Paragraph 0003; 0020-0023, (2021/12/08)
The invention discloses a preparation method of acyl primary amine. The preparation method of the acyl primary amine comprises the following step: in the presence of a catalyst, carrying out a heating reaction on terminal olefin, carbon monoxide and ammonium chloride to obtain the acyl primary amine, wherein the catalyst is at least one selected from Pd(tBu3P)2, Pd(Ph3P)2, Pd(dppp)2 and Pd(dFppb)2, the structural formula of the terminal olefin is R-CH=CH2, and R is any group. Under the action of the specific catalyst, the linear or branched acyl primary amine can be synthesized in a high regioselectivity manner, and the defect of an acylamine compound synthesis reaction in the aspect of regioselectivity in the prior art is overcome.
