(Chemical Equation Presented) A multicomponent reaction (MCR) between amines, aldehydes, and isocyanides bearing an acidic α-proton gives easy access to a diverse range of highly substituted 2-imidazolines. The limitations of the methodology seem to be de

Herein, we report a graphene oxide (GO) catalyzed condensation of non-activated esters and amines, that can enable diverse amides to be synthesized from abundant ethyl esters forming only volatile alcohol as a by-product. GO accelerates ester to amide conversion in the absence of any additives, unlike other catalysts. A wide range of ester and amine substrates are screened to yield the respective amides in good to excellent yields. The improved catalytic activity can be ascribed to the oxygenated functionalities present on the graphene oxide surface which forms H-bonding with the reactants accelerating the reaction. Improved yields and a wide range of functional group tolerance are some of the important features of the developed protocol.

Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCR) are among the most important chemical reactions to efficiently generate molecular diversity and have found widespread use in industry and academia. Generally, isocyanides are synthesized in 1-2 steps starting from primary amines. Here, we provide experimental detail on an alternative approach toward formamides and, thus, isocyanides via the Leuckart-Wallach reaction in an improved variation. The resulting >50 synthesized and characterized formamides are useful starting materials for IMCR, as well as other chemistries. The advantage of using the Leuckart-Wallach pathway to formamides and isocyanides is the lower price, on average, of the starting materials, as well as their differential and complementary structural diversity, as compared to the primary amine pathway.
