An efficient iron-catalyzed synthesis of N-aryl amides from N?methoxy amides and arylboronic acids is developed. FeCl3 is used as the sole catalyst for the cross-coupling reaction between N?methoxy amides and arylboronic acids without any other

Transamidation reactions are often mediated by reactive substrates in the presence of overstoichiometric activating reagents and/or transition metal catalysts. Here we report the use of CO2as a traceless catalyst: in the presence of catalytic amounts of CO2, transamidation reactions were accelerated with primary, secondary, and tertiary amide donors. Various amine nucleophiles including amino acid derivatives were tolerated, showcasing the utility of transamidation in peptide modification and polymer degradation (e.g., Nylon-6,6). In particular,N,O-dimethylhydroxyl amides (Weinreb amides) displayed a distinct reactivity in the CO2-catalyzed transamidation versus a N2atmosphere. Comparative Hammett studies and kinetic analysis were conducted to elucidate the catalytic activation mechanism of molecular CO2, which was supported by DFT calculations. We attributed the positive effect of CO2in the transamidation reaction to the stabilization of tetrahedral intermediates by covalent binding to the electrophilic CO2

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.
