Manganese(I) Catalyzed α-Alkenylation of Amides Using Alcohols with Liberation of Hydrogen and Water

Herein, unprecedented manganese-catalyzed direct α-alkenylation of amides using alcohols is reported. Aryl amides are reacted with diverse primary alcohols, which provided the α,β-unsaturated amides in moderate to good yields with excellent selectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate that Mn(I) catalyst oxidizes the alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and also plays an important role in efficient C═C bond formation through aldol condensation. This selective olefination is facilitated by metal-ligand cooperation by the aromatization-dearomatization process operating in the catalytic system. Biorenewable alcohols are used as alkenylation reagents for the challenging α-alkenylation of amides with the highly abundant base metal manganese as a catalyst, which results in water and dihydrogen as the only byproduct, making this catalytic transformation attractive, sustainable, and environmentally benign.

Synthesis of Linear α,β-Unsaturated Amides from Isocyanates and Alkenylaluminum Reagents

A new approach has been developed for the synthesis of linear α,β-unsaturated amides by the direct coupling of isocyanates with alkenylaluminum reagents. At room temperature, the desired α,β-unsaturated amides were isolated in good to excellent yields with good functional-group tolerance in the absence of any catalyst or additive.

Direct Amidation of Carboxylic Acids with Nitroarenes

N-Aryl amides are an important class of compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry. Rapid and low-cost synthesis of N-aryl amides remains in high demand. Herein, we disclose an operationally simple process to access N-aryl amides directly from readily available nitroarenes and carboxylic acids as coupling substrates. This method involves the in situ activation of carboxylic acids to acyloxyphosphonium salt for one-pot amidation, without the need for isolation of the corresponding synthetic intermediates. Furthermore, the ease of preparation and workup allow the quick and efficient synthesis of a wide range of N-aryl amides, including several amide-based druglike and agrochemical molecules.

Copper-catalyzed direct transformation of secondary allylic and benzylic alcohols into azides and amides: An efficient utility of azide as a nitrogen source

A mild and convenient method for the synthesis of amides has been explored by using secondary alcohols, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O as a catalyst, and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) at ambient temperature. This method has been successfully adapted to the preparation of azides directly from their corresponding alcohols and offers excellent chemoselectivity in the formation of ω-halo azides and the azidation of allylic alcohols in the presence of a benzyl alcohol moiety. In addition, this strategy provides an opportunity to synthesize azides that can serve as precursors to β-amino acids. A mild and convenient method for the synthesis of amides has been explored by using secondary alcohols, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O as a catalyst, and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) at ambient temperature. This method has also been adapted to the preparation of azides directly from their corresponding alcohols.

Direct transformation of arylpropynes to acrylamides via a three-step tandem reaction

A novel and metal-free acrylamides formation between arylpropynes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride through sp3 C-H and C-C bond cleavage has been achieved with DDQ as an oxidant. The mechanistic study shows that the acrylamides are formed through a three-step tandem sequence, including cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reaction, aza-Meyer-Schuster rearrangement and Beckmann rearrangement. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.

DDQ-promoted direct transformation of benzyl hydrocarbons to amides via tandem reaction of the CDC reaction and Beckmann rearrangement

An atom-efficient and transition metal-free approach to amides from the corresponding benzyl hydrocarbons through C-H and C-C bond cleavage has been developed. Mechanistic studies have shown that a DDQ-promoted cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction with subsequent oxidation and rearrangement are involved in this transformation.

Palladium(II)-catalyzed regioselective carbonylative coupling of aniline derivatives with terminal aryl acetylenes to give acrylamides under syngas conditions

The carbonylative coupling of aniline derivatives (1a-h) with terminal aryl acetylenes (2a, b) catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and 1,4- bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) under syngas conditions affords acrylamide derivatives 3 or 3' in excellent yields

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of cinnamoyl chlorides with anilines in acetonitrile and acetonitrile-methanol mixtures

Kinetic studies on the solvolysis (in MeOH-MeCN mixtures) and aminolysis (with anilines in MeCN) of cinnamoyl chlorides have been carried out at 25.0 deg C.The relatively large negative values of ρY+ = -0.9 ca. -1.5 for the methanolysis are consistent with a dissociative SN2-like mechanism.For the aminolysis, the ρy values are positive (ρY = 0.52 ca. 1.64) and ρX values range from -1.68 to -2.51 in acetonitrile.The positive values of βX = 0.6-0.9 and ρXY = 0.88 in acetonitrile, and isotope effect data suggest that the aminolysis proceeds by a stepwise mechanism with rate-limiting breakdown of the tetrahedral intermediate, T+/-.It is noted that in the acyl-transfer reactions proceeding by rate-limiting departure of the leaving group from the tetrahedral intermediate the signs of both ρY and ρXY are positive and the reactivity-selectivity principle (RSP) is valid in general.
