An efficient iron-catalyzed synthesis of N-aryl amides from N?methoxy amides and arylboronic acids is developed. FeCl3 is used as the sole catalyst for the cross-coupling reaction between N?methoxy amides and arylboronic acids without any other

In this paper, a NaOtBu-mediated synthesis approach was developed for direct amidation of unactivated esters with amines under transition-metal-free and solvent-free conditions, affording a series of amides in good to excellent yields at room temperature. In particular, an environmentally friendly and practical workup procedure, which circumvents the use of organic solvents and chromatography in most cases, was disclosed. Moreover, the gram-scale production of representative products3a,3wand3auwas efficiently realized by applying operationally simple, sustainable and practical procedures. Furthermore, this approach was also applicable to the synthesis of valuable molecules such as moclobemide (a powerful antidepressant), benodanil and fenfuram (two commercial agricultural fungicides). These results demonstrate that this protocol has the potential to streamline amide synthesis in industry. Meanwhile, quantitative green metrics of all the target products were evaluated, implying that the present protocol is advantageous over the reported ones in terms of environmental friendliness and sustainability. Finally, additional experiments and computational calculations were carried out to elucidate the mechanistic insight of this transformation, and one plausible mechanism was provided on the basis of these results and the related literature reports.

Amides are important structural motifs in pharmaceutical and agrochemical chemistry because of the intriguing biological active properties. We report here the amidation of commercially available esters with anilines that was promoted by low-cost and air-stable chromium(III) pre-catalyst combined with magnesium, providing access to amides. This reaction occurs without the use of external ligands in a simple operation. Mechanistic studies indicate that a reactive aminated Cr species responsible for the amidation can be considered, which may be formed by reaction of low-valent Cr with aniline followed by reduction with hydrogen evolution.

A flow edition of photo-Fries rearrangement for the synthesis of 2-acylphenols in an aqueous micellar medium has been described. We take advantage of a narrow channel reactor and micelle-induced confinement effect to refine both the efficiency and selectivity of the parent photoreaction. This journal is

Amide bond formation is one of the most important basic reactions in chemistry. A catalyst-free approach for constructing amide bonds from thiocarboxylic acids and amines was developed. The mechanistic studies showed that the disulfide was the key intermediate for this amide synthesis. Thiobenzoic acids could be automatically oxidized to disulfides in air, thioaliphatic acids could be electro-oxidized to disulfides, and the resulting disulfides reacted with amines to give the corresponding amides. By this method, various amides could be easily synthesized in excellent yields without using any catalyst or activator. The successful synthesis of bioactive compounds also highlights the synthetic utility of this strategy in medicinal chemistry.

Here, we report a chromium-catalyzed activation of acyl C-O bonds with magnesium for amidation of esters with nitroarenes. Low-cost chromium(III) chloride shows high reactivity in promoting amidation by using magnesium as reductant and chlorotrimethylsilane as additive. It provides a step-economic strategy to the synthesis of centrally important amide motifs using inexpensive and air-stable nitroarenes as amino sources.

Direct transamidation of secondary amides was developed via nickel catalysis. In the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride and manganese, Ni(diglyme)Cl2 with a Briphos ligand efficiently promoted the transamidation of N-aryl benzamide derivatives with primary amines to afford the corresponding secondary amides in moderate to good yields. Primary amines bearing electron-donating groups gave higher yields of the transamidation products.

Methods for the synthesis of amides via the direct oxidation of imines are rarely reported. Here we report an efficient method for Pd-catalyzed oxidation of imines to amide derivatives by the use of cheap aqueous tert -butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant through a Wacker-type reaction. This method is practically convenient and displays high functional group tolerance, allowing a variety of imines to transform into the corresponding amide derivatives in moderate to good yields.

Amides are an important class of organic compounds, which have widespread industrial applications. Transamidation of amides is a convenient method to generate new amides from existing ones. Tertiary amides, however, are challenging substrates for transamidation. Here we describe an unconventional approach to the transamidation of tertiary amides using nitroarenes as the nitrogen source under reductive conditions. Manganese metal alone mediates the reactions and no additional catalyst is required. The method exhibits broad scope and high functional group tolerance.
Amide synthesis: Via nickel-catalysed reductive aminocarbonylation of aryl halides with nitroarenes

, p. 655 - 659 (2018/01/28)
Aminocarbonylation of aryl halides is one of the most useful methods in amide synthesis, but nitroarenes have not been used as a nitrogen source in this method even though they are more economical and accessible than anilines. Reported here is the development of nickel catalysis for the first three-component reactions of aryl halides, Co2(CO)8, and nitroarenes under reductive conditions to produce aryl amides. A wide range of (hetero)aryl iodides and bromides as well as nitro(hetero)arenes are suitable reaction partners, and high functional group compatibility has been achieved. The method might be used for the streamlined synthesis of aryl amides.
