A 3,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (pytz) catalysed efficient, mild and metal-free method has been developed for direct amide bond synthesis from simple thioacids and amines as starting materials. This methodology is useful for aromatic, aliphatic, and heteroaromatic thioacids as well as primary, secondary, heterocyclic, and even functionalized amines. A wide substrates scope, operationally mild conditions, and acylation of amines without affecting other functional groups such as alcohols, esters, carbodithioates, among others make this strategy very attractive and practical.

A simple, clean and highly efficient solvent-free procedure for the preparation of primary, secondary, tertiary and aromatic amides is described from the direct reaction of carboxylic acids and silica-supported ammonium salts, triethylamine (TEA) and tosyl chloride (TsCl) as condensing agent. The reaction proceeds rapidly in high yields at room temperature.
Protein backbone modification by novel C(α)-C side-chain scission

α-Ketoamide (-NH-CO-CO-) units in intact peptides are generated from Ser/Thr residues via Ru(VIII)-catalyzed C(α)-C side-chain scission. Facets associated with this novel α-carbon modification have been probed with 75 peptides chosen to represent every possible peptide environment. The reactions were carried out at room temperature with in situ generated Ru(VIII) in biphasic (CH3CN/CCl4/pH 3 phosphate buffer, 1:1:2 v/v) medium. Whereas Ser/Thr residues placed at the C-terminal end in peptides undergo N-C bond scission leading to des-Ser/Thr peptide amides - thus acting as Gly equivalents in simulating the α-amidating action of pituitary enzymes - those located at the N-terminal or nonterminal or even at the C-terminal position (protected as amide) were found to undergo oxidative C-C bond scission (involving C(α) and C side-chain bond), resulting in the generation of α-ketoamide (-NH-CO-CO-) units in the intact peptide backbone. The difference in the products arising from C(α)-C side-chain scission of Ser/Thr esters and amides is rationalized on the basis of a common mechanism involving either oxaloesters [PeP-NH-CO-COX; X = OMe] or oxalamides [X = NH2 or NH-Pep] arising from the oxidation of initially formed carbinolamide intermediates [Pep-NH-CH(OH)-COX], wherein, while the former are shown to undergo hydrolysis to terminal amides [Pep-NH2], the oxalamides are found to be stable to hydrolysis. Ancillary noteworthy findings are those of peptide bond scission when contiguous Ser-Ser/Thr-Thr residues are present and the oxidative cleavage at C-terminal Tyr/Trp sites generating des amides. The oxidative methodology presented here is mild, simple, and practical and proceeds with chiral retention. The insensitivity of a large number of amino acid residues, such as Gly, Ala, Leu, Asn, Gln, Asp, Glu, Pro, Arg, Phe, Lys, Val, and Aib, and N-protecting groups, such as Boc, Z, and Bz, toward Ru(VIII) under the experimental conditions should make this methodology practical and useful. Sulfur-containing amino acids Cys and Met get oxidized to sulfones in the products.
