, (2020)
Amine-boranes serve as dual-purpose reagents for direct amidation, activating aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids and, subsequently, delivering amines to provide the corresponding amides in up to 99% yields. Delivery of gaseous or low-boiling amines as their borane complexes provides a major advantage over existing methodologies. Utilizing amine-boranes containing borane incompatible functionalities allows for the preparation of functionalized amides. An intermolecular mechanism proceeding through a triacyloxyborane-amine complex is proposed.

The present invention generally relates to a process for selective and direct activation and subsequent amidation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to afford an amide R3CONR1R2. That the process is capable of delivering gaseous or low-boiling point amines provides a major advantage over existing methodologies, which involves an intermediate of triacyloxyborane-amine complex [(R3CO2)3—B—NHR1R2]. This procedure readily produces primary, secondary, and tertiary amides, and is compatible with the chirality of the acid and amine involved. The preparation of known pharmaceutical molecules and intermediates has also been demonstrated.
