Amide transformations involving C–N bond cleavage are recognized as difficult reactions owing to the inert nature of amides resulting from resonance. Accordingly, a strong inductive effect and geometrical distortion reasonably decrease the resonance stabilization to attenuate the C–N linkage. Although the conversion of such activated amides has been studied intensively, reaction systems for “unactivated” amides are underdeveloped. We herein report that a zinc(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Zn(OTf)2] catalyst achieves the esterification of a wide range of unactivated tertiary amides with the assistance of intramolecular acyl rearrangement. The reaction was applied to the one-pot removal of various amide-based directing groups under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding esters in high yields.

Task-specific ionic liquid, [bmim]N3 was used as an effective catalyst and reaction medium for the direct oxidative esterification of arylaldehydes with alcohols. The oxidative esterification reaction of a variety of arylaldehydes took place smoothly with some primary and secondary alcohols in [bmim]N3. Satisfactory results were obtained with arylaldehydes containing electron withdrawing groups. Tertiary alcohols did not react under these conditions.
