A metal-free, biomimetic catalytic protocol for the cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amides to the corresponding 2-oxazolines (4,5-dihydrooxazoles), promoted by the 1,3,5,2,4,6-triazatriphosphorine (TAP)-derived organocatalyst tris(o-phenylenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (TAP-1) has been developed. This approach requires less precatalyst compared to the reported relevant systems, with respect to the phosphorus atom (the maximum turnover number (TON) ～30), and exhibits a broader substrate scope and higher functional-group tolerance, providing the functionalized 2-oxazolines with retention of the configuration at the C(4) stereogenic center of the 2-oxazolines. Widely accessible β-amino alcohols can be used in this approach, and the cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amides provides the desired 2-oxazolines in up to 99% yield. The mechanism of the reaction was studied by monitoring the reaction using spectral and analytical methods, whereby an 18O-labeling experiment furnished valuable insights. The initial step involves a stoichiometric reaction between the substrate and TAP-1, which leads to the in situ generation of the catalyst, a catechol cyclic phosphate, as well as to a pyrocatechol phosphate and two possible active intermediates. The dehydrative cyclization was also successfully conducted on the gram scale.

A sustainable and environmentally benign direct amidation reaction of unactivated esters with amines has been developed in a continuous-flow system. A commercially available amorphous zirconium oxide was found to be an efficient catalyst for this reaction. While the typical amidation of esters with amines requires a stoichiometric amount of a promoter or metal activator, the present continuous-flow method enabled the direct amidation reaction under additive-free conditions with an extensive diversity towards various functional groups. High yields of the products were obtained with a nearly equimolar proportion of starting materials to reduce byproduct formation, which renders this process applicable for use in a sequential-flow system.

N-acylation reaction offers an opportunity to develop an efficient synthesis of amide group-containing molecules. We found that N-acyl carbazoles showed remarkable selectivity in transamidation. Sterically less hindered primary amines are selectively acylated with N-acyl carbazoles without any additives. Various functional groups such as alcohol, phenol, indole, and aniline moieties are tolerated under mild conditions. The synthetic utility was displayed in one-pot synthesis of an N-acyl polyamine natural product. The terminal amines of spermidine were selectively benzoylated with N-benzoyl carbazole, followed by acetylation reaction accomplished the total synthesis in a highly efficient manner.

A variety of N-acyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-nitrobenzenesulfonamides (1a-e) were synthesized in one pot from 4-chloroaniline under solvent-free conditions and have been developed as chemoselective N-acylation reagents. Selective protection of primary amines in the presence of secondary amines, acylation of aliphatic amines in the presence of aryl amines, and monofunctionalization of primary-secondary diamines as well as selective N-acylation of amino alcohols using these reagents are described. All of the acylation reactions were carried out in water as a green solvent. High stability and easy preparation of these acylating reagents are other advantages of this method.

A simple, metal-free, and environment-friendly procedure is developed for the direct conversion of esters to amides using ammonium nitrate as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Aryls, heteroaryls, and aliphatic esters are easily converted to the corresponding amides in excellent isolated yields (85-99%). An enantiopure ester and amine were both shown to react without racemization. The methodology has been successfully applied to preparation of procainamide.
Imidazol(in)ium-2-carboxylates as latent, thermally activated organocatalysts for transesterification reactions
Wang, Yanqin,Li, Zhenjiang
experimental part, p. 502 - 507 (2012/07/17)
1,3-Disubstituted imidazol(in)ium-2-carboxylates (ImCO2) were used as precatalysts for transesterification reactions of unactivated ethyl benzoate with monohydric alcohols, dihydric alcohols, and amino alcohols. Highly active N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are usually not used directly as catalysts because of their air and moisture sensitivity. Here they were liberated in situ by thermal decarboxylation of ImCO2 at designated temperatures. The results showed that the yield of the reactions reached up to 95 within 3 h using only 0.5 mol catalyst. No active enol esters, molecular sieves, or a 20-fold excess of alcohol were used to drive the reaction to completion. It was proved that unsaturated imidazolium-2-carboxylates have a better activity than saturated species in this type of reaction. Different types of substituting groups of ImCO2 exhibited varied transesterification activity.

Highly reactive N-acylating solid-phase reagents based on macroporous polystyrene-bound 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (P-HOBt) and silica-bound 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (Si-HOBt) were prepared and compared for reactivity by synthesis of small combinatorial libraries of acetamides and benzamides.

experimental part, p. 6523 - 6529 (2011/12/21)
Merrifield resin-supported N3P(MeNCH2CH 2)3N shows excellent activity in the transesterification of higher esters such as glyceryl tribenzoate to methyl esters. The catalyst was successfully cycled 20 times (albeit with an increase in reaction time) without compromising yield up to the 20th cycle. The catalyst also showed good performance in amidation reactions of unactivated esters with amino alcohols.

Although alkanesulfonyl chlorides react with linear imines to give rise to β-sultam derivatives, in this study, they were reacted with various cyclic imines, including 1-pyrroline, oxazoline, 5,6-dihydro-4H-oxazines and thiazines, 4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[c]azepine, and 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline, to produce diverse products instead of β-sultam derivatives. The results indicate that alkanesulfonyl chlorides react with cyclic imines to generate N-alkanesulfonyl cyclic iminium ions, which are attacked by nucleophiles, such as water and chloride anion, in the reaction systems, affording addition products. The iminium intermediates cannot undergo a ring closure to form β-sultam derivatives. Arenesulfonyl chlorides showed similar behavior when they reacted with cyclic imines. The scope and limitation of the reaction between sulfonyl chlorides and imines were investigated. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
