A novel synthesis strategy for amides by oxidative amidation of aldehydes is developed using a heterogeneous Co-based catalyst. The Co composite was prepared by simple pyrolysis of a Co-containing MOF, to obtain well-dispersed Co nanoparticles enclosed by carbonized organic ligands. The catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), N2 physical adsorption, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The small Co nanoparticles embedded in the N-doped carbons were highly dispersed with an average size of ca. 7 nm. The Co@C-N materials exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic activity in the oxidative amidation of aldehydes in comparison to those of commercial sources. A series of amides can be easily obtained in good to excellent yields. It was found that the reaction proceeded via radicals under mild conditions, and the carbonyl group in the amide product was from the aldehyde. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily separated by using an external magnetic field and reused several times without significant loss in catalytic efficiency under the investigated conditions.

Go tandem! The first example of the direct amidation of alcohols with N-substituted formamides has been developed. A series of tertiary amides, including the challenging N,N-dimethyl-substituted amides, were obtained in moderate to good yields under transition-metal-free conditions (see scheme).

Electrochemical synthesis of amides: Direct transformation of methyl ketones with formamides

, p. 7156 - 7159 (2013)
A direct transformation from methyl ketones to secondary or tertiary amides has been developed through a novel electrochemical approach and a wide scope of formamides could be utilized as the amide sources. This transformation was promoted by in situ generated iodine through electrolysis of sodium iodide under mild, metal-free conditions. This electrochemical procedure could avoid the use of stoichiometric iodine and afforded the target products in good to excellent yields.

A new iridium-catalyzed reductive Strecker reaction for the direct and efficient formation of α-amino nitrile products from a broad range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic tertiary amides, and N-alkyl lactams is reported. The protocol exploits the mild and highly chemoselective reduction of the amide and lactam functionalities using IrCl(CO)[P(C6H5)3]2 (Vaska's complex) in the presence of tetramethyldisiloxane, as a reductant, to directly generate hemiaminal species able to undergo substitution by cyanide upon treatment with TMSCN (TMS=trimethylsilyl). The protocol is simple to perform, broad in scope, efficient (up to 99 % yield), and has been successfully applied to the late-stage functionalization of amide- and lactam-containing drugs, and naturally occurring alkaloids, as well as for the selective cyanation of the carbonyl carbon atom linked to the N atom of proline residues within di- and tripeptides.
Facile Access to Amides from Oxygenated or Unsaturated Organic Compounds by Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts Derived from Single-Source Molecular Precursors

Oxidative amidation is a valuable process for the transformation of oxygenated organic compounds to valuable amides. However, the reaction is severely limited by the use of an expensive catalyst and limited substrate scope. To circumvent these limitations, designing a transition-metal-based nanocatalyst via more straightforward and economical methodology with superior catalytic performances with broad substrate scope is desirable. To resolve the aforementioned issues, we report a facile method for the synthesis of nanocatalysts NiO and CuO by the sol-gel-assisted thermal decomposition of complexes [Ni(hep-H)(H2O)4]SO4 (SSMP-1) and [Cu(μ-hep)(BA)]2 (SSMP-2) [hep-H = 2-(2-hydroxylethyl)pyridine; BA = benzoic acid] as single-source molecular precursors (SSMPs) for the oxidative amidation of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, and BA by using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent and as an amine source, in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, at T = 80 °C. In addition to nanocatalysts NiO and CuO, our previously reported Co/CoO nanocatalyst (CoNC), derived from the complex [CoII(hep-H)(H2O)4]SO4 (A) as an SSMP, was also explored for the aforementioned reaction. Also, we have carefully investigated the difference in the catalytic performance of Co-, Ni-, and Cu-based nanoparticles synthesized from the SSMP for the conversion of various oxygenated and unsaturated organic compounds to their respective amides. Among all, CuO showed an optimum catalytic performance for the oxidative amidation of various oxygenated and unsaturated organic compounds with a broad reaction scope. Finally, CuO can be recovered unaltered and reused for several (six times) recycles without any loss in catalytic activity.
