Intermediate formation enabled regioselective access to amide in the Pd-catalyzed reductive aminocarbonylation of olefin with nitroarene

An efficient route for the palladium-catalyzed reductive aminocarbonylation of olefins with nitroarenes was developed using carbon monoxide (CO) as both reductant and carbonyl source, which enables facile access to amides with excellent regioselectivity a

A versatile, practical, and inexpensive reagent, pyridine-3-carboxylic anhydride (3-PCA), for condensation reactions

A highly useful method for the preparation of carboxylic esters and carboxamides from various carboxylic acids was established by using a novel condensing reagent, pyridine-3-carboxylic anhydride (3-PCA), in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine as an activator. The reactions of various carboxylic acids with nucleophiles, such as alcohols or amines, afforded the corresponding carboxylic acids or carboxamides in good to high yields under mild conditions by using simple experimental procedure. In addition, it was confirmed that this protocol was applicable to a gram-scale synthesis and the by-products, including pyridine-3-carboxylic acid and pyridine-3-carboxylate (or pyridine-3- carboxamide) produced in situ, were easily removed by using a simple aqueous workup.

Mild, powerful, and robust methods for esterification, amide formation, and thioesterification between acid chlorides and alcohols, amines, thiols, respectively

We developed two efficient practical methods for esterification, amide formation, and thioesterification between acid chlorides and alcohols, amines, thiols, respectively. The present mild and robust reaction was performed by two separate methods both by combining cheap and readily available amines, N-methylimidazole, and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA). Method A uses catalytic N-methylimidazole and TMEDA with an equimolar amount of K2CO3, whereas Method B uses equimolar amounts of N-methylimidazole and TMEDA. The salient features are as follows. (i) With regard to reactivity, Method B was superior to Method A for esterification and thioesterification, whereas cost-effective Method A was superior to Method B for amide formation. (ii) Amide formation proceeded smoothly between acid chlorides and less nucleophilic and stereocongested amines such as 2,6-dichloroaniline. (iii) This protocol was applied to the successful synthesis of two agrochemicals, bromobutide and carpropamid.

Highly selective C-H functionalization/halogenation of acetanilide

Highly regioselective C-H functionalization/halogenation of acetanilides to produce ortho-haloacetanilides was catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and Cu(OAc)2 with CuX2 as the halogen source. Copyright

Water solvent method for esterification and amide formation between acid chlorides and alcohols promoted by combined catalytic amines: Synergy between N-methylimidazole and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA)

An efficient method for esterification between acid chlorides and alcohols in water as solvent has been developed by combining the catalytic amines, N-methylimidazole and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA). The present Schotten-Baumann-type reaction was performed by maintaining the pH at around 11.5 using a pH controller to prevent the decomposition of acid chlorides and/or esters and to facilitate the condensation. The choice of catalysts (0.1 equiv.) was crucial: the combined use of N-methylimidazole and TMEDA exhibited a dramatic synergistic effect. The catalytic amines have two different roles: (i) N-methylimidazole forms highly reactive ammonium intermediates with acid chlorides and (ii) TMEDA acts as an effective HCl binder. The production of these intermediates was rationally supported by a careful 1H NMR monitoring study. Related amide formation was also achieved between acid chlorides and primary or secondary amines, including less nucleophilic or water-soluble amines such as 2-(or 4-)chloroaniline, the Weinreb N-methoxyamine, and 2,2-dimethoxyethanamine.

Migration of the Hydroxyl Group of N-Hydroxy-N-phenylamides to the Phenyl Group with Tertiary Phosphines and Tetrachloromethane. A Novel Transhydroxylation Reaction

The hydroxyl group of N-hydroxyl-N-phenylamides rearranges mainly to the ortho position of the N-phenyl ring by the system (n-Bu)3P-CCl4-CH3CN; use of less than a stoichiometric amount of (n-Bu)3P is effective for this reaction.
