Reports on aerobic oxidation of amines to amides are rare, and those reported suffer from several limitations like poor yield or selectivity and make use of pure oxygen under elevated pressure. Herein, we report a practical and an efficient ruthenium-catalyzed synthetic protocol that enables selective oxidation of a broad range of primary aliphatic, heterocyclic and benzylic amines to their corresponding amides, using readily available reagents and ambient air as the sole oxidant. Secondary amines instead, yield benzamides selectively as the sole product. Mechanistic investigations reveal intermediacy of nitriles, which undergo hydration to afford amide as the final product.

The inhibition of the β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the pathogenic fungi Cryptococcus neoformans (Can2) and Candida albicans (Nce103) with a series of 25 branched aliphatic and aromatic carboxylates has been investigated. Human isoforms hCA I and II were also included in the study for comparison. Aliphatic carboxylates were generally millimolar hCA I and II inhibitors and low micromolar/submicromolar β-CA inhibitors. Aromatic carboxylates were micromolar inhibitors of the four enzymes but some of them showed low nanomolar activity against the fungal pathogenic enzymes. 4-Hydroxy- and 4-methoxy-benzoate inhibited Can2 with KIs of 9.5-9.9 nM. The methyl esters, hydroxamates, hydrazides and carboxamides of some of these derivatives were also effective inhibitors of the α- and β-CAs investigated here.

Valproic acid (VPA, 1) is a major broad spectrum antiepileptic and central nervous system drug widely used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine. VPA's clinical use is limited by two severe and lifethreatening side effects, teratogenicity and hepatotoxicity. A number of VPA analogues and their amide, N-methylamide and urea derivatives, were synthesized and evaluated in animal models of neuropathic pain and epilepsy. Among these, two amide and two urea derivatives of 1 showed the highest potency as antineuropathic pain compounds, with ED50 values of 49 and 51 mg/kg for the amides (19 and 20) and 49 and 74 mg/kg for the urea derivatives (29 and 33), respectively. 19, 20, and 29 were equipotent to gabapentin, a leading drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain. These data indicate strong potential for the above-mentioned novel compounds as candidates for future drug development for the treatment of neuropathic pain. 2009 American Chemical Society.
Heterogeneously catalyzed efficient oxygenation of primary amines to amides by a supported ruthenium hydroxide catalyst

supporting information; experimental part, p. 9249 - 9251 (2009/05/15)
(Chemical Equation Presented) Supporting green chemistry: The supported ruthenium hydroxide Ru(OH)x/Al2O3 acts as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the oxygenation of primary amines to primary amides (see scheme). Various primary amines (including aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic) are converted in aqueous media, using air as the sole oxidant and producing only water as a by-product.

(Chemical Equation Presented) α,α-Disubstituted acetamides undergo oxidative dehomologation to give one-carbon-shorter ketones when reacted with a hypervalent iodine (λ5) reagent in combination with tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) in various solvents. In further studies, one such combination of a hypervalent iodine (λ5) reagent, o-iodoxybenzoic acid, and TEAB has been established as a new, mild, efficient, and general method for the transformation.

(Equation Presented) Dehydration/Rehydration in Water: Supported rhodium hydroxide (Rh(OH)x/ Al2O3) is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of primary amides from aldoximes and aldehydes in water in a reaction that is entirely free of hazardous and carcinogenic organic solvents (see scheme).
