An environmentally benign protocol for transamidation of carboxamides with different amines under solvent free conditions using magnetically separable nano Fe3O4 as a heterogeneous catalyst is developed. The series of aryl and alkyl amines with long chain alkyl substituents have been selectively converted into transamide products. The current protocol offers a diverse substrate scope with good yield of the product. The Fe3O4 nano catalyst has also been used for formylation of amines via transamidation of dimethyl formamide. Efficient transamidation, ease of work up, simple separation and reusability of the catalyst for up to six runs are the important highlights of this process.

AgSbF6 was developed as an effective catalyst for the hydroboration of various unsaturated functionalities (nitriles, alkenes, and aldehydes). This atom-economic chemoselective protocol works effectively under low catalyst loading, base- A nd solvent-free moderate conditions. Importantly, this process shows excellent functional group tolerance and compatibility with structurally and electronically diverse substrates (>50 examples). Mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway. Further, the obtained N,N-diborylamines were showcased to be useful precursors for amide synthesis.

The metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to access amides has been recognized as an atom-economic and environmental-friendly process. Apart from the formation of the amide products, three other kinds of compounds (esters, imines and amines) may also be produced. Therefore, it is of vital importance to investigate product distribution in this transformation. Herein, N-heterocyclic carbene-based Ru (NHC/Ru) complexes [Ru-1]-[Ru-5] with different ancillary ligands were prepared and characterized. Based on these complexes, we selected condition A (without an added NHC precursor) and condition B (with an added NHC precursor) to comprehensively explore the selectivity and yield of the desired amides. After careful evaluation of various parameters, the Ru loadings, added NHC precursors and the electronic/steric properties of ancillary NHC ligands were found to have considerable influence on this catalytic process.

The direct mechanochemical amidation of esters by ball milling is described. The operationally simple procedure requires an ester, an amine, and substoichiometric KOtBu and was used to prepare a large and diverse library of 78 amide structures with modest to excellent efficiency. Heteroaromatic and heterocyclic components are specifically shown to be amenable to this mechanochemical protocol. This direct synthesis platform has been applied to the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals as well as the gram-scale synthesis of an active pharmaceutical, all in the absence of a reaction solvent.

Several novel pyridine-oxadiazole iridium complexes were synthesized and characterized through X-ray crystallography. The designed iridium complexes revealed surprisingly high catalytic activity in C–N bondformation of amides and benzyl alcohols with the assistance of non-coordinating anions. In an attempt to achieve borrowing hydrogen reactions of amides with benzyl alcohols, N,N'-(phenylmethylene)dibenzamide products were unexpectedly isolated under non-coordinating anion conditions, whereas N-benzylbenzamide products were achieved in the absence of non-coordinating anions. The mechanism explorations excluded the possibility of “silver effect” (silver-assisted or bimetallic catalysis) and revealed that the reactivity of iridium catalyst was varied by non-coordinating anions. This work provided a convenient and useful methodology that allowed the iridium complex to be a chemoselective catalyst and demonstrated the first example of non-coordinating-anion-tuned selective C–N bond formation

An efficient method for preparation of secondary amides from primary amides and aldehydes using rhodium on carbon matrix as catalyst was developed. The method does not require any external hydrogen source and carbon monoxide is used as a reducing agent. The most active rhodium catalysts were characterized by BET, TEM and XPS techniques. Unexpectedly, it was found that heterogeneous rhodium on carbon matrix works as precatalyst for homogenous active species due to leaching of rhodium to the solution. Various secondary amides were synthesized and checked for antifungal activity. 4-Methoxy-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)benzamide demonstrated promising activity against Rhizoctonia Solani.

A novel and facile cobalt-catalyzed selective aroylation of primary amines with aroyl peroxides was developed for the synthesis of aryl amides. It was unprecedented that C[sbnd]N bond formation product was selectively generated without the common N[sbnd]O bond formation product. Aroyl peroxides act as the sole aroylation reagent without additional base or oxidant. The reactions proceeded under mild conditions and showed broad substrates scope with a series of primary amines and aroyl peroxides.

This paper described a mild and efficient direct amidation of non-activated carboxylic acid and amine derivatives catalyzed by TiCp2Cl2. Arylacetic acid derivatives reacted with different amines to afford the corresponding amides in good to excellent yield except of aniline. Aryl formic acids failed to react with aniline but smoothly reacted with aliphatic amines and benzylamine in moderate to good yield, fatty acids reacting with benzyl and aliphatic amines give amides in good to excellent yield. Chiral amino acids derivatives were transformed into amides without racemization in moderate yield. The possible mechanism of direct amidation catalyzed by TiCp2Cl2 was discussed. This catalytic method is very suitable for the amidation of low sterically hindered arylacetic acid, fatty acids with different low sterically hindered amines except aniline, as well as the amidation of aryl formic acid with benzyl and aliphatic amines.

Amide bonds are among the most interesting and abundant molecules of life and products of the chemical pharmaceutical industry. In this work, we describe a method of the direct synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and amines under solvent-free conditions using minute quantities of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a catalyst. The reactions are carried out in an open microwave reactor and allow the corresponding amides to be obtained in a fast and effective manner when compared to other procedures of the direct synthesis of amides from acids and amines reported so far in the literature. The amide product isolation procedure is simple, environmentally friendly, and is performed with no need for chromatographic purification of secondary amides due to high yields. In this report, primary amines were used in most examples. However, the developed procedure seems to be applicable for secondary amines as well. The methodology produces a limited amount of wastes, and a catalyst can be easily separated. This highly efficient, robust, rapid, solvent-free, and additional reagent-free method provides a major advancement in the development of an ideal green protocol for amide bond formation.

Dehydrogenative amide bond formation from alcohols and amines has been regarded as an atom-economic and sustainable process. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based Ru catalytic systems have attracted growing interest due to the outstanding properties of NHCs as ligands. Herein, an NHC/Ru complex (1) was prepared and its structure was further confirmed with X-ray crystallography. In the presence of Cs2CO3, two NHC/Ru-based catalytic systems were disclosed to be active for this amide synthesis. System A, which did not contain any added ligand, required a catalyst loading of 1.00 mol%. Interestingly, improved catalytic performance was realized by the addition of an NHC precursor (L). Optimization of the amounts of L and other conditions gave rise to system B, a much more potent system with the Ru loading as low as 0.25 mol%. Moreover, an NHC-Ru-carbonate complex 6 was identified from the refluxing toluene of 1 and Cs2CO3, and further investigations revealed that 6 was an important intermediate for this catalytic reaction. Based on the above results, we claimed that the role of Cs2CO3 was to facilitate the formation of key intermediate 6. On the other hand, it provided the optimized basicity for the selective amide formation.
