A facile one-pot synthesis of amides from N-Alloc-, N-Boc-, and N-Cbz-protected amines has been described. The reactions involve the use of isocyanate intermediates, which are generated in situ in the presence of 2-chloropyridine and trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride, to react with Grignard reagents to produce the corresponding amides. Using this reaction protocol, a variety of N-Alloc-, N-Boc-, and N-Cbz-protected aliphatic amines and aryl amines were efficiently converted to amides with high yields. This method is highly effective for the synthesis of amides and offers a promising approach for facile amidation.

An unprecedented IrIII[df(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6-catalyzed simple photochemical process for direct addition of amines and alcohols to the relatively less reactive nitrile triple bond is described herein. Various amides and esters are synthesized as the reaction products, with nitriles being the acid equivalents. A mini-library of different types of amides and esters is made using this mild and efficient process, which uses only 1 mol% of photocatalyst under visible light irradiation (λ = 445 nm). The reaction strategy is also efficient for gram-scale synthesis.

A simple catalyst of Ni(OAc)2 and P(t-Bu)3 enables selective C-alkylation of thioacetamides and primary acetamides with alcohols for the first time. Monoalkylation of thioamides, amides and t-butyl esters occurs in excellent yields (>95%). Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction proceeds via a hydrogen autotransfer pathway. This journal is
Radical condensation between benzylic alcohols and acetamides to form 3-arylpropanamides
Azizi, Kobra,Madsen, Robert
, p. 7800 - 7806 (2020/08/14)
A new radical condensation reaction is developed where benzylic alcohols and acetamides are coupled to generate 3-arylpropanamides with water as the only byproduct. The transformation is performed with potassium tert-butoxide as the only additive and gives rise to a variety of 3-arylpropanamides in good yields. The mechanism has been investigated experimentally with labelled substrates, trapping experiments and spectroscopic measurements. The findings indicate a radical pathway where potassium tert-butoxide is believed to serve a dual role as both base and radical initiator. The radical anion of the benzylic alcohol is proposed as the key intermediate, which undergoes coupling with the enolate of the amide to form the new C-C bond. Subsequent elimination to the corresponding cinnamamide and olefin reduction then affords the 3-arylpropanamides.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed hydrocarbonylative C-N coupling of alkenes with amides has been developed. The reaction was performed via hydrocarbonylation of alkenes, followed by acyl metathesis with amides. Both intermolecular and intramolecular react

A general asymmetric route for the one-step synthesis of chiral β-branched amides is reported through the highly enantioselective isomerization of allylamines, followed by enamine exchange, and subsequent oxidation. The enamine exchange allows for a rapid and modular synthesis of various amides, including challenging β-diaryl and β-cyclic.
Mild Amide-Cleavage Reaction Mediated by Electrophilic Benzylation
Yamada, Kohei,Karuo, Yukiko,Tsukada, Yuichi,Kunishima, Munetaka

An extremely mild method for amide-cleavage by using the triazine-based benzylating reagent 4-(4,6-diphenoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-benzylmorpholinium trifluoromethanesulfonate (DPT-BM), which spontaneously releases benzyl cation species when being dissolved at room temperature, has been developed. O-Benzylation of the amide with DPT-BM and the subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting intermediate benzyl imidate salt afford the corresponding amine and benzyl ester, which can be converted by hydrogenolysis into a carboxylic acid under neutral conditions. O-Benzylation proceeds depending on both steric and electronic factors around the amide group. Thus, some amides have been selectively cleaved over other amides. Furthermore, intramolecular chemoselective cleavage of an amide group in the presence of an ester group was achieved. Such selective hydrolytic reactions cannot be performed with Meerwein reagents as well as under acidic or basic hydrolytic conditions.
Metal–Organic Framework Based on Copper and Carboxylate-Imidazole as Robust and Effective Catalyst in the Oxidative Amidation of Carboxylic Acids and Formamides

A metal–organic framework (MOF) based on copper and 1,3-bis(carboxymethyl)imidazole (bcmim) was prepared on a gram scale by using a precipitation method at room temperature. The Cu(bcmim)2MOF was shown to be an efficient catalyst for the preparation of amides through an oxidative coupling between carboxylic acids and formamides in the presence of an oxidant, such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The method for the preparation of the amides is robust regardless of the carboxylic acid and gives good conversions with good selectivity. The heterogeneous catalyst was recovered unaltered after the reaction, was easily separated from the reaction mixture, and subsequently reactivated by suitable treatment. Moreover, the coupling reaction was scaled up to a gram scale, which allowed for the preparation of valuable products, such as fatty acid amides (i.e., 1-palmitoylpiperidine).
Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols and aldehydes: Effective conversion of amines and anilines into amides
Wu, Zhao,Hull, Kami L.
, p. 969 - 975 (2016/02/05)
The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols and aldehydes is reported. In situ generated [(BINAP)Rh]BF4 catalyzes the one-pot isomerization/oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols or direct amidation of aldehydes using acetone or styrene as the hydrogen acceptor. The conditions are general, affording good to excellent yields with a wide array of amine and aniline nucleophiles, and chemoselective, other alcohols do not participate in the oxidation reaction. Utilization of biphasic conditions is critical, as they promote an equilibrium between the imine/enamine byproducts and the hemiaminal, which can undergo oxidation to the amide.

A modular Cu/ABNO catalyst system has been identified that enables efficient aerobic oxidative coupling of alcohols and amines to amides. All four permutations of benzylic/aliphatic alcohols and primary/secondary amines are viable in this reaction, enabling broad access to secondary and tertiary amides. The reactions exhibit excellent functional group compatibility and are complete within 30 min-3 h at rt. All components of the catalyst system are commercially available.
