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).

A novel metal-free decarboxylative acyloxylation of an sp3 C-H bond in formamides and ethers has been explored. A variety of N-acyloxymethylamides and α-acyloxy ethers could be easily synthesized by this method. Preliminary mechanistic studies have shown that the reaction proceeded via a radical process.
