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.

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.
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.
