(Matrix presented) A novel class of stable, mild, and size-shape-selective nitrosating agents for secondary amides is introduced. These are based on reversible entrapment and release of reactive nitrosonium species by calix[4]arenes. The NO+ encapsulation controls the reaction selectivity.

The reaction of one-electron oxidation of alkanoic acids (I) and their amides (VI) on treatment with Na2S2O8-containing systems has been studied.As a result of the direct one-pot reaction acids (I) and amides (VI) are converted into γ and δ-lactones, the reaction being regioselective and leading mainly to γ-lactones in up to 35percent yield.The regioselectivity of the oxidative lactonisation depends greatly on the nature of alkyl substituents.The results obtained are presented in terms of a mechanism suggesting the generation of acyloxyl and amidyl radicals from (I) and (VI), respectively, followed by a rearrangement via a 1,5- or 1,6-H shift into the corresponding 3- and 4-carboxy- or -carboxamido-alkyl ra The latter undergo oxidative cyclisation to produce γ and δ lactones.The system Na2S2O8-NaCl-NaOH converts carboxamides (VI) into amines with loss of one carbon atom as a result of a Hoffmann type rearrangement.
