Magnesium methoxide (Mg(OCH3)2) and calcium chloride have been shown to facilitate the direct aminolysis of esters by ammonia to primary amides. Methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl esters were converted to the corresponding carboxamides in good yields. Reactions have been run on a larger scale and without the safety liability inherent in the use of magnesium nitride (Mg3N2). Ammonium chloride and amine hydrochlorides have been used successfully in the place of ammonia with magnesium methoxide.

A new series of 1,3-benzoxazine derivatives with a 2-pyridine 1-oxide group at C4 was designed to explore novel K+ channel openers. Synthesis was carried out by using a palladium(0)-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation reaction of imino-triflates with organozinc reagents and via a new one-pot 1,3-benzoxazine skeleton formation reaction of benzoylpyridines. The compounds were tested for vasorelaxant activity in tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) and BaCl2-induced and high KCl-induced contraction of rat aorta to identify potential K+ channel openers, and also for oral hypotensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats. An electron- withdrawing group with the proper shape at C6 and a methyl or halogens group at C7 of the 1,3-benzoxazine nucleus were required for the development of optimal vasorelaxant and hypotensive activity. In particular, 2-(6-bromo-7- chloro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-4-yl)pyridine 1-oxide (71) showed more potent vasorelaxant activity (EC50=0.14 μM) against TEA and BaCL2- induced contraction and longer-lasting hypotensive effects than cromakalim (1).
