A simple and highly efficient method has been developed with which to cleave the N-benzyl group on N-mono- or disubstituted carboxamides using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) at room temperature. All the 31 substrates examined showed moderate to excellent deprotection yields. Our study also indicated that the debenzylation may involve an oxygen/light initiated free radical mechanism.

Cobalt carbonyl catalyzed reaction of mercaptans with Schiff bases and carbon monoxide

Thiophenols and p-methylbenzyl mercaptan react with Schiff bases and carbon monoxide in benzene, in the presence of cobalt carbonyl, to give amides as the pricipal products.These amides arise from cleavage of the carbon-nitrogen double bond of the reactant imine.The reaction is applicable to a variety of Schiff bases (i.e. aliphatic, benzylic, aromatic).Thioesters and olefins are usually obtained as reaction by-products.
