Disclosed is a new, catalytic, and general methodology for the chemical synthesis of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and polyaryl molecules by the cross-coupling of o-methoxybenzamides with aryl boroneopentylates. The reaction is based on the activation of the unreactive C-OMe bond by the proximate amide directing group using catalytic RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 conditions. A one-step, base-free coupling process is thereby established that has the potential to supersede the useful two-step directed ortho metalation/cross- coupling reaction involving cryogenic temperature and strong base conditions. High regioselectivity, orthogonality with the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, operational simplicity, minimum waste, and convenient scale-up make these reactions suitable for industrial applications.

The scope and generality of a direct process for the conversion of tertiary amides directly to methyl esters has been investigated. The process involves a two-step, one pot procedure in which a tertiary amide is first treated with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate to generate an imidate intermediate which is then hydrolyzed, generally by the addition of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. Although this process fails for aliphatic amides, very good yields are realized for a variety of amides derived from aromatic carboxylic acids. Steric hindrance at the N-alkyl group is well tolerated; thus N,N-dimethyl, -diethyl, and -diisopropyl amides can all be utilized successfully. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
