An efficient FeCl3-catalyzed amidation reaction of secondary benzylic and allylic alcohols with carboxamides or p-toluenesulfonamide

A simple, inexpensive, environmentally friendly and high yielding amidation reaction of benzylic and allylic alcohols with primary amides using a catalytic amount of FeCl3 (5 mol %) is described. Direct substitution of various amides such as be

Microwave-Enhanced Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of N-(tert-Butylsulfinyl)imines

Microwave irradiation has considerably enhanced the efficiency of the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)imines in isopropyl alcohol catalyzed by a ruthenium complex bearing the achiral ligand 2-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol. In addition to shortening reaction times for the transfer hydrogenation processes to only 30 min, the amounts of ruthenium catalyst and isopropyl alcohol can be considerably reduced in comparison with our previous procedure assisted by conventional heating, which diminishes the environmental impact of this new protocol. This methodology can be applied to aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)ketimines, leading, after desulfinylation, to the expected primary amines in excellent yields and with enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %. Microwave irradiation promotes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)imines in 2-propanol catalysed by a ruthenium complex bearing an achiral β-amino alcohol as ligand. After desulfinylation, α-branched primary amines containing aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic substituents are obtained in excellent yields and with enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %.

Ritter reaction in subcritical water: An efficient and green method for amides synthesis

Ritter reaction was carried out efficiently in subcritical water with catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The amides were formed in good to excellent yields from secondary alcohols and tert-butanol with various nitriles.

Cobalt-catalyzed benzylic C-H amination via dehydrogenative-coupling reaction

An efficient direct benzylic C-H amination via dehydrogenative-coupling by using an inexpensive catalyst/oxidant (CoBr2/tBuOO tBu) system is described. Various unmodified amides including primary or secondary sulfonamides, carboxamides, and carbamates preformed well with benzylic hydrocarbons with moderate to good yields.

Asymmetric synthesis of chiral primary amines by transfer hydrogenation of N -(tert -Butanesulfinyl)ketimines

(Figure presented) The diastereoselective reduction of (R)-N-(tert- butanesulfinyl)ketimines by a ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation process in isopropyl alcohol, followed by desulfinylation of the nitrogen atom, is an excellent method to prepare highly enantiomerically enriched α-branched primary amines (up to >99% ee) in short reaction times (1-4 h). (1S,2R)-1-Amino-2-indanol has been shown to be a very efficient ligand to perform this transformation. Ketimines bearing either an aryl or a heteroaryl group and an alkyl group as substituents of the iminic carbon atom are very good substrates for this process. The reduction of a dialkyl ketimine could also be achieved, affording the expected amine with moderate optical purity (69% ee). Some amines which are precursors of very interesting biologically and pharmacologically active compounds have been prepared in excellent yields and enantiomeric excesses.

HBF4·OEt2 as a mild and versatile reagent for the Ritter amidation of olefins: A facile synthesis of secondary amides

A variety of alkenes undergo smooth amidation with nitriles in the presence of HBF4·OEt2 at room temperature under mild conditions to afford the corresponding secondary amides in good to excellent yields. This is a highly efficient method for the preparation of α-aryl ethyl amides especially from vinyl arenes without any side reactions such as olefin polymerization. The use of readily available and easy to handle reagent HBF4·OEt2 makes this method simple, convenient, and practical.

Platinum-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of vinyl arenes with carboxamides

(Chemical Equation Presented) Reaction of benzamide with 4-methylstyrene catalyzed by a 1:2 mixture of [PtCl2(H2C=CH 2)]2 and P(4-C6H4CF 3)3 (5 mol %) in mesitylene at 140 °C for 24 h led to the isolation of N-(1-p-tolylethyl)benzamide in 85% yield. Electron-rich, electron-poor, and hindered vinyl arenes underwent Markovnikov hydroamination with a range of carboxamides and amide derivatives in moderate to good yield with excellent regioselectivity.
