Photoinduced remote regioselective radical alkynylation of unactivated C-H bonds

A method for the remote regioselective alkynylation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds in diverse aliphatic amides by photogenerated amidyl radicals has been developed. The site-selectivity is dominated via a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process of the amide. Mild reaction conditions and high regioselectivity are demonstrated in this methodology.

A Molecular Iron-Based System for Divergent Bond Activation: Controlling the Reactivity of Aldehydes

The direct synthesis of amides and nitriles from readily available aldehyde precursors provides access to functional groups of major synthetic utility. To date, most reliable catalytic methods have typically been optimized to supply one product exclusively. Herein, we describe an approach centered on an operationally simple iron-based system that, depending on the reaction conditions, selectively addresses either the C=O or C-H bond of aldehydes. This way, two divergent reaction pathways can be opened to furnish both products in high yields and selectivities under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system takes advantage of iron's dual reactivity capable of acting as (1) a Lewis acid and (2) a nitrene transfer platform to govern the aldehyde building block. The present transformation offers a rare control over the selectivity on the basis of the iron system's ionic nature. This approach expands the repertoire of protocols for amide and nitrile synthesis and shows that fine adjustments of the catalyst system's molecular environment can supply control over bond activation processes, thus providing easy access to various products from primary building blocks.

Remote Regioselective Radical C-H Functionalization of Unactivated C-H Bonds in Amides: The Synthesis of gem-Difluoroalkenes

The site-selective functionalization of unactivated aliphatic amines is an attractive and challenging synthetic approach. We herein report a general strategy for the remote site-selective functionalization of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds in amides by photogenerated amidyl radicals to form gem-difluoroalkenes with trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes. The site selectivity is controlled by a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process of the amide. This photocatalyzed transformation shows both chemo- and site-selectivity, facilitating the formation of a secondary, tertiary, or quaternary carbon center.

Efficient heterogeneous hydroaminocarbonylation of olefins with ammonium chloride as amino source

An efficient protocol for heterogeneous hydroaminocarbonylation of olefins with ammonium chloride without addition of acid additive has been developed for the first time. We successfully synthesized the Pd@POPs-PPh3 catalyst through a solvothermal synthetic method. Under this heterogeneous catalytic system, C2-C6 olefins displayed good yields and TON, and a yield of 66% of propionamide and TON = 1400 were obtained under mild reaction conditions (403 K, Pethylene = 0.5 MPa, PCO = 2.5 MPa), which is a little higher than those in the homogeneous system. This catalytic system has the advantage of easy separation of product and catalyst, as well as good stability. Uniform dispersion of Pd active sites, strong coordination bond between P and Pd, high surface area, large pore volume and hierarchical porosity of Pd@POPs-PPh3 were confirmed by a series of characterizations, which is believed to be the keys for the good activity and stability of hydroaminocarbonylation reaction.

Facile One-pot conversion of aldehydes into amides

A facile one-pot synthesis of amides from aldehydes has been developed. This tandem process involves the formation of a nitrile intermediate obtained from the reaction of an aldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in dimethylsulfoxide at 100°C and the subsequent treatment of the nitrile with basic hydrogen peroxide. The resulting amide products were produced in good yields (67-95%) and purity (>95%). Copyright

Synthesis and evaluation of antiallodynic and anticonvulsant activity of novel amide and urea derivatives of valproic acid analogues

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.

Isocyanates and their preparation using hypochlorous acid

The present invention relates to a process for preparation of an isocyanate comprising (a) reacting an amide with an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid in the presence of an water-immiscible organic solvent to produce an N-chloro amide; and (b) reacting said N-chloro amide with a base in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and a water immiscible organic solvent to produce an isocyanate.
