A method for the one-pot synthesis of substituted amides from aldehydes and amides is presented. Namely, condensation of aldehydes with N-tosylhydrazide generated the N-tosylhydrazones which were then reductively cross-coupled in situ with primary or secondary amides in the presence of a copper catalyst to afford secondary or tertiary amides, respectively. The reaction proceeded efficiently for a wide range of aldehydes and amides under the optimized conditions, i.e., 10 mol% of tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I) tetrafluoroborate [Cu(CH3CN)4BF4], 1 mol% of tetra-n-butylammonium iodide [(n-Bu)4NI], and sodium hydroxide [NaOH] as base in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 80 C. As a result, the method provides a straightforward route for the synthesis of substituted amides from readily available aldehydes via a transition metal-catalyzed C(sp3)- N amide bond forming reaction.
