A simple catalyst- and promoter-free protocol has been developed for the transamidation of weakly nucleophilic aromatic amines with formamide derivatives and low-reactivity tertiary amides with aliphatic amines. This strategy is advantageous because no catalyst or promoters are needed, no additives are required, separation and purification is easy, and the reaction is scalable. Significantly, this strategy was further applied to synthesize several pharmaceutical molecules on a gram scale, and excellent yields were achieved.

A novel synthesis of isocyanates via base-induced β-elimination of haloform from N-monosubstituted trihaloacetamides is described. The rate of reaction exhibits a strong dependence on the nature of the trihalomethyl group. Thus, while the reaction of tribromoacetamides proceeds at room temperature and the reaction of trichloroacetamides requires heating in polar solvents, no reaction could be observed for any of the corresponding trifluoro derivatives. This novel β-elimination of haloform from stable and readily available trihaloacetamides was applied to a 'one-pot' synthesis of ureas which avoids the use of phosgene and isolation of isocyanates.

Procedures are described for converting primary amines into their well-crystalline trichloroacetyl-derivatives by treatment with hexachloroacetone under mild conditions.Although secondary aromatic N-methylamines are unaffected by hexachloroacetone, saturated heterocyclic amines react vigorously.A mechanistic study using 2-amino-4-t-butylthiazole showed that the reaction is first order in hexachloroacetone, second order in amine, and base-catalysed; there is no appreciable kinetic isotope (H/D) effect nor accumulation of intermediates during the reaction.A sequence which accommodates these results is suggested.
