Evidence against an Alternative Mechanism for a Self-Replicating System
Wintner, Edward A.,Tsao, Belinda,Rebek, Julius
, p. 7997 - 8001 (1995)
A recent paper by Menger et al. described experimental and computational work related to our self-replicating system and concluded that amide catalysis - either external or internal - is the cause of observed rate enhancements.Herein we show that the proporsal of Menger et al. is inconsistent with published data, that their conclusions overreach the data afforded by their experiments, and that the step which they modeled is likely irrelevant to the autocatalytic nature of the system.We present new results and a refined mechanism in which the transition state is stabilized not by amides but by template-based recognition, the hallmark of self-replicating systems.

A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Several novel pyridine-oxadiazole iridium complexes were synthesized and characterized through X-ray crystallography. The designed iridium complexes revealed surprisingly high catalytic activity in C–N bondformation of amides and benzyl alcohols with the assistance of non-coordinating anions. In an attempt to achieve borrowing hydrogen reactions of amides with benzyl alcohols, N,N'-(phenylmethylene)dibenzamide products were unexpectedly isolated under non-coordinating anion conditions, whereas N-benzylbenzamide products were achieved in the absence of non-coordinating anions. The mechanism explorations excluded the possibility of “silver effect” (silver-assisted or bimetallic catalysis) and revealed that the reactivity of iridium catalyst was varied by non-coordinating anions. This work provided a convenient and useful methodology that allowed the iridium complex to be a chemoselective catalyst and demonstrated the first example of non-coordinating-anion-tuned selective C–N bond formation
Efficient cleavage of tertiary amide bonds: Via radical-polar crossover using a copper(ii) bromide/Selectfluor hybrid system

A novel approach for the efficient cleavage of the amide bonds in tertiary amides is reported. Based on the selective radical abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen atom by a CuBr2/Selectfluor hybrid system followed by a selective cleavage of an N-C bond, an acyl fluoride intermediate is formed. This intermediate may then be derivatized in a one-pot fashion. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and exhibits a broad substrate scope with respect to the tertiary amide moiety as well as to nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon nucleophiles for the subsequent derivatization. Mechanistic studies suggest that the present reaction proceeds via a radical-polar crossover process that involves benzylic carbon radicals generated by the selective radical abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen atom by the CuBr2/Selectfluor hybrid system. Furthermore, a synthetic application of this method for the selective cleavage of peptides is described. This journal is

Homoleptic lanthanide complex Y[N(TMS)2]3 is an efficient homogeneous catalyst for the hydroboration reduction of secondary amides and tertiary amides to corresponding amines. A series of amides containing different functional groups such as cyano, nitro, and vinyl groups were found to be well-tolerated. This transformation has also been nicely applied to the synthesis of indoles and piribedil. Detailed isotopic labeling experiments, control experiments, and kinetic studies provided cumulative evidence to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

The reaction of activated phenolic compounds, 2,4,6-triaryloxy-1,3,5-triazine (aryl-triazine ethers), with various isocyanates or carbodiimides in the presence of a nickel pre-catalyst resulted in the synthesis of aryl amides in good to excellent yields.

Reported is an iridium catalyst for ortho-selective C?H borylation of challenging secondary aromatic amide substrates, and the regioselectivity is controlled by hydrogen-bond interactions. The BAIPy-Ir catalyst forms three hydrogen bonds with the substrate during the crucial activation step, and allows ortho-C?H borylation with high selectivity. The catalyst displays unprecedented ortho selectivities for a wide variety of substrates that differ in electronic and steric properties, and the catalyst tolerates various functional groups. The regioselective C?H borylation catalyst is readily accessible and converts substrates on gram scale with high selectivity and conversion.

An efficient heterogeneous amidation catalyst has been prepared by co-polymerisation of styrene, DVB with 4-styreneboronic acid, which shows wide substrate applicability and higher reactivity than the equivalent homogeneous phenylboronic acid, suggesting potential cooperative catalytic effects. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused; suitable for use in packed bed flow reactors.
Nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides with carbamoylsilanes: efficient synthesis of secondary (primary) aromatic amides
Chen, Jianxin,Chen, Wenwen,Wen, Xueping
, (2019/08/30)
A nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using carbamoylsilane as an amide source leading to corresponding secondary or primary aromatic amides has been developed, in which the methoxymethyl and benzyl were used as amino protecting group. The protocol tolerates a broad range of aryl halides bearing different functional groups to afford good yields of aryl amides under mild reaction conditions. The types and the relative positions of substituents on the aryl ring make a notable impact on the coupling efficiency. The plausible mechanism of nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation has been suggested.
Ferric(III) Chloride Catalyzed Halogenation Reaction of Alcohols and Carboxylic Acids Using α,α-Dichlorodiphenylmethane

A new method for chlorination of alcohols and carboxylic acids, using α,α-dichlorodiphenylmethane as the chlorinating agent and FeCl3 as the catalyst, was developed. The method enables conversions of various alcohols and carboxylic acids to their corresponding alkyl and acyl chlorides in high yields under mild conditions. Particulary interesting is the observation that the respective alkyl bromides and iodides can be generated from alcohols when either LiBr or LiI are present in the reaction mixtures.
