A LiOH-promoted hydrolysis selective C-N cleavage of twisted N-acyl glutarimide for the synthesis of primary amides under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction is triggered by a ring opening of glutarimide followed by C-N cleavage to afford primary amides using 2 equiv of LiOH as the base at room temperature. The efficacy of the reactions was considered and administrated for various aryl and alkyl substituents in good yield with high selectivity. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis of primary amides using a continuous flow method was achieved. It is noted that our new methodology can apply under both batch and flow conditions for synthetic and industrial applications.

We report a new set of reactions based on the unlocking of amides through simple treatment with allyl bromide, creating a common platform for accessing a diverse range of nitrogen-containing functional groups such as primary amides, sulfonamides, primary amines, N-acyl compounds (esters, thioesters, amides), and N-sulfonyl esters. The method has potential industrial applicability, as demonstrated through gram-scale syntheses in batch and in a continuous flow system.

There is a strong incentive for environmentally benign and sustainable production of organic nitriles to avoid the use of toxic cyanides. Here we report that manganese oxide nanorod-supported single-site Ru catalysts are active, selective, and stable for oxidative cyanation of various alcohols to give the corresponding nitriles with molecular oxygen and ammonia as the reactants. The very low amount of Ru (0.1 wt %) with atomic dispersion boosts the catalytic performance of manganese oxides. Experimental and theoretical results show how the Ru sites enhance the ammonia resistance of the catalyst, bolstering its performance in alcohol dehydrogenation and oxygen activation, the key steps in the oxidative cyanation. This investigation demonstrates the high efficiency of a single-site Ru catalyst for nitrile production.

Natural products are secondary metabolites produced by many different organisms such as bacteria, fungi and plants. These biologically active molecules have been widely exploited for clinical application. Here we investigate TamA, a key enzyme from the biosynthetic pathway of tambjamine YP1, an acylated bipyrrole that is produced by the marine microorganism Pseudoalteromonas tunicata. TamA is a didomain enzyme composed of a catalytic adenylation (ANL) and an acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain that together control the fatty acid chain length of the YP1. Here we show that the TamA ANL domain alone can be used to generate a range of acyl adenylates that can be captured by a number of amines thus leading to the production of a series of fatty N-acyl amides. We exploit this biocatalytic promiscuity to produce the recently discovered class of N-acyl histidine amide natural products from Legionella pneumophila.

A new heterogeneous catalytic system (Ti-superoxide/saccharin/TBHP) has been developed that efficiently catalyzes oxidative amidation of aldehydes to produce various primary amides. The protocol employs saccharin as amine source and was found to tolerate a wide range of substrates with different functional groups. Moderate to excellent yields, catalyst reusability and operational simplicity are the main highlights. A possible mechanism and the role of the catalyst in oxidative amidation have also been discussed.

The use of triglycerides as an important class of biomass is an effective strategy to realize a more sustainable society. Herein, three heterogeneous catalytic methods are reported for the selective one-pot transformation of triglycerides into value-added chemicals: i) the reductive amination of triglycerides into fatty amines with aqueous NH3 under H2 promoted by ZrO2-supported Pt clusters; ii) the amidation of triglycerides under gaseous NH3 catalyzed by high-silica H-beta (Hβ) zeolite at 180 °C; iii) the Hβ-promoted synthesis of nitriles from triglycerides and gaseous NH3 at 220 °C. These methods are widely applicable to the transformation of various triglycerides (C4–C18 skeletons) into the corresponding amines, amides, and nitriles.

A palladium(II) catalyst, in the presence of Selectfluor, enables the efficient and chemoselective transformation of primary amides into nitriles. The amides can be attached to aromatic rings, heteroaromatic rings, or aliphatic side chains, and the reactions tolerate steric bulk and electronic modification. Dehydration of a peptaibol containing three glutamine groups afforded structure-activity relationships for each glutamine residue. Thus, this dehydration can act similarly to an alanine scan for glutamines via synthetic mutation.
Metal-Free Thermal Activation of Molecular Oxygen Enabled Direct α-CH2-Oxygenation of Free Amines
Ghosh, Santanu,Jana, Chandan K.
, p. 260 - 266 (2018/02/19)
Direct oxidation of α-CH2 group of free amines is hard to achieve due to the higher reactivity of amine moiety. Therefore, oxidation of amines involves the use of sophisticated metallic reagents/catalyst in the presence or absence of hazardous oxidants under sensitive reaction conditions. A novel method for direct C-H oxygenation of aliphatic amines through a metal-free activation of molecular oxygen has been developed. Both activated and unactivated free amines were oxygenated efficiently to provide a wide variety of amides (primary, secondary) and lactams under operationally simple conditions without the aid of metallic reagents and toxic oxidants. The method has been applied to the synthesis of highly functionalized amide-containing medicinal drugs, such as O-Me-alibendol and -buclosamide.

N,N′-((4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl)methylene)bis(2-phenylacetamide) was discovered by using 3D pharmacophore database searches and was biologically confirmed as a new class of CB2 inverse agonists. Subsequently, 52 derivatives were designed and synthesized through lead chemistry optimization by modifying the rings A-C and the core structure in further SAR studies. Five compounds were developed and also confirmed as CB2 inverse agonists with the highest CB2 binding affinity (CB2Ki of 22-85 nM, EC50 of 4-28 nM) and best selectivity (CB 1/CB2 of 235- to 909-fold). Furthermore, osteoclastogenesis bioassay indicated that PAM compounds showed great inhibition of osteoclast formation. Especially, compound 26 showed 72% inhibition activity even at the low concentration of 0.1 μM. The cytotoxicity assay suggested that the inhibition of PAM compounds on osteoclastogenesis did not result from its cytotoxicity. Therefore, these PAM derivatives could be used as potential leads for the development of a new type of antiosteoporosis agent.
Copper(II) acetate-catalyzed one-pot conversion of aldehydes into primary amides through a Beckmann-type rearrangement
Martínez-Asencio, Ana,Yus, Miguel,Ramón, Diego J.
experimental part, p. 3948 - 3951 (2012/07/03)
Copper(II) acetate is a versatile catalyst for the direct transformation of any type of aldehydes into primary amides by stoichiometric reaction with hydroxylamine in water. The catalyst could be recovered 10 times without losing its activity, just by a simple organic layer extraction of the product. The catalyst and the protocol avoid the use of any type of expensive and difficult to handle organic ligand, as well as bases, showing excellent yields, under mild reaction conditions. The great purity of the crude product permits its purification by a simple recrystallization process. The whole protocol fulfils the principle of green chemistry and sustainability, minimizing the use of organic solvents and any type of wastes.
