Catalytic aerobic oxidation of primary amines to the amides, using the precatalyst [Ru(COD)(L1)Br2] (1) bearing an annulated π-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene ligand L1, is disclosed. This catalytic protocol is distinguished by its high activity and selectivity, wide substrate scope and modest reaction conditions. A variety of primary amines, RCH2NH2 (R = aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic), are converted to the corresponding amides using ambient air as an oxidant in the presence of a sub-stoichiometric amount of KOtBu in tBuOH. A set of control experiments, Hammett relationships, kinetic studies and DFT calculations are undertaken to divulge mechanistic details of the amine oxidation using 1. The catalytic reaction involves abstraction of two amine protons and two benzylic hydrogen atoms of the metal-bound primary amine by the oxo and hydroxo ligands, respectively. A β-hydride transfer step for the benzylic C-H bond cleavage is not supported by Hammett studies. The nitrile generated by the catalytic oxidation undergoes hydration to afford the amide as the final product. This journal is

The hydration of nitriles to amides in a water extract of pomelo peel ash (WEPPA) was realized with moderate to excellent yields without using external transition metals, bases or organic solvents. This reaction features a broad substrate scope, wide functional group tolerance, prominent chemoselectivity, and good reusability. Notably, a magnification experiment in this bio-based solvent at 100 mmol further demonstrated its practicability.

The NiII complex 1 containing pyridyl- and hydroxy-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) is synthesized and its catalytic utility for the selective nitrile hydration to the corresponding amide under base-free conditions is evaluated. The title compound exploits a hemilabile pyridyl unit to interact with a catalytically relevant water molecule through hydrogen-bonding and promotes a nucleophilic water attack to the nitrile. A wide variety of nitriles is hydrated to the corresponding amides including the pharmaceutical drugs rufinamide, Rifater, and piracetam. Synthetically challenging α-hydroxyamides are accessed from cyanohydrins under neutral conditions. Related catalysts that lack the pyridyl unit (i.e., compounds 2 and 4) are not active whereas those containing both the pyridyl and the hydroxy or only the pyridyl pendant (i.e., compounds 1 and 3) show substantial activity. The linkage isomer 1′ where the hydroxy group is bound to the metal instead of the pyridyl group was isolated under different crystallization conditions insinuating a ligand hemilabile behavior. Additional pKa measurements reveal an accessible pyridyl unit under the catalytic conditions. Kinetic studies support a ligand-promoted nucleophilic water addition to a metal-bound nitrile group. This work reports a Ni-based catalyst that exhibits functional hemilability for hydration chemistry.

An interesting and effective procedure for the synthesis of benzamides from aryl bromides has been developed. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, various primary benzamides have been produced in moderate to excellent yields in a one-pot one-step manner.

The rearrangement of aldoximes to primary amides has been studied using the readily available arene-ruthenium(II) complex [RuCl2(η 6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] (5 mol %) as catalyst. Reactions proceeded cleanly in pure water at 100 °C without the assistance of any cocatalyst, affording the desired amides in high yields (70-90%) after short reaction times (1-7 h). The process was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldoximes and tolerated several functional groups. Reaction profiles and experiments using 18O-labeled water indicate that two different mechanisms are implicated in these transformations. In both of them, nitrile intermediates are initially formed by dehydration of the aldoximes. These intermediates are then hydrated to the corresponding amides by the action of a second molecule of aldoxime or water. A kinetic analysis of the rearrangement of benzaldoxime to benzamide is also discussed.

Ganguly, Nemai C.,Roy, Sushmita,Mondal, Pallab
experimental part, p. 1413 - 1416 (2012/03/27)
A simple expeditious one-pot conversion of a wide assortment of aldehydes to corresponding primary amides in good to excellent yields has been accomplished employing hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1 mol equiv), sodium acetate (1.1 mol equiv), and copper sulfate pentahydrate (5 mol %) under neat conditions at 110 °C. The protocol based upon ligand-free copper (II)-catalysis avoids the use of relatively expensive late transition metal-based catalysts, and is performed under operationally simple conditions without any demanding procedure of isolation and purification of products.
An efficient hydration of nitriles to amides in aqueous media by hydrotalcite-clay supported nickel nanoparticles
Subramanian, Thirumeni,Pitchumani, Kasi
, p. 109 - 113 (2013/01/15)
Hydrotalcite-clay supported nickel nanoparticles catalyze hydration of nitriles to amides in aqueous media. This Ni NPs/HT system is efficient for the synthesis of a diverse range of amides and affords the expected products with good yields in aqueous media. The synthesized nickel nanoparticles are characterized by UV-DRS, powder XRD, SEM and HRTEM. The catalyst is reused at least three times and a plausible mechanism is proposed. This fast, simple, effective and environmentally benign heterogeneous protocol provides a safer alternative to hazardous, corrosive and more polluting conventional catalysts.

Treatment of [Rh(COD)(μ-Cl)]2 with excess tBuOK and subsequent addition of 2 equiv of PIN?HBr in THF afforded [Rh(COD)(κC2-PIN)Br] (1) (PIN = 1-isopropyl-3-(5,7-dimethyl-1, 8-naphthyrid-2-yl)imidazol-2-ylidene, COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). The X-ray structure of 1 confirms ligand coordination to "Rh(COD)Br" through the carbene carbon featuring an unbound naphthyridine. Compound 1 is shown to be an excellent catalyst for the hydration of a wide variety of organonitriles at ambient temperature, providing the corresponding organoamides. In general, smaller substrates gave higher yields compared with sterically bulky nitriles. A turnover frequency of 20 000 h-1 was achieved for the acrylonitrile. A similar Rh(I) catalyst without the naphthyridine appendage turned out to be inactive. DFT studies are undertaken to gain insight on the hydration mechanism. A 1:1 catalyst-water adduct was identified, which indicates that the naphthyridine group steers the catalytically relevant water molecule to the active metal site via double hydrogen-bonding interactions, providing significant entropic advantage to the hydration process. The calculated transition state (TS) reveals multicomponent cooperativity involving proton movement from the water to the naphthyridine nitrogen and a complementary interaction between the hydroxide and the nitrile carbon. Bifunctional water activation and cooperative proton migration are recognized as the key steps in the catalytic cycle.
