Amide synthesis is one of the most important transformations in chemistry and biology. The direct use of ammonia for the incorporation of nitrogen functionalities in organic molecules is an attractive and environmentally benign method. We present here a new synthesis of amides by acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of benzyl alcohols and ammonia. The reaction is catalyzed by a pincer complex of earth-abundant manganese in the presence of a stoichiometric base, making the overall process economical, efficient, and sustainable. Interesting mechanistic insights based on detailed experimental observations, indicating the crucial role of the base, are provided.

A one-pot stibine modified Co2(CO)8 homogeneous catalytic reductive N-alkylation of primary amides using aldehydes/ketones as alkylating agents, is reported. Good to excellent yields of a wide range of secondary amides are obtained (up to 97%) under relative mild conditions.
