Amide Bond Formation via the Rearrangement of Nitrile Imines Derived from N-2-Nitrophenyl Hydrazonyl Bromides

We report how the rearrangement of highly reactive nitrile imines derived from N-2-nitrophenyl hydrazonyl bromides can be harnessed for the facile construction of amide bonds. This amidation reaction was found to be widely applicable to the synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides and was used as the key step in the synthesis of the lipid-lowering agent bezafibrate. The orthogonality and functional group tolerance of this approach was exemplified by the N-acylation of unprotected amino acids.

TBAI-catalyzed C–N bond formation through oxidative coupling of benzyl bromides with amines: a new avenue to the synthesis of amides

A new green approach for the synthesis of amide through TBAI-catalyzed oxidative coupling of benzyl bromides with amine was developed in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Various electron-donating and withdrawing groups containing benzyl bromides and various amines, were subjected to the reaction and transformed to the corresponding amide in good to excellent yields.

Copper and N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Oxidative Amidation of Aldehydes with Amines

A one-pot two-step oxidative process has been developed for the tert-butyl hydroperoxide mediated transformation of aldehydes and amines into amides catalyzed by copper(I) iodide and an N-heterocyclic carbene. The process is additive-free and does not require the amine to be transformed into its hydrochloride salts. The method is simple and practicable, has a broad substrate scope, and uses economical, feasible, and abundant reagents.

Direct synthesis of amides and imines by dehydrogenative homo or cross-coupling of amines and alcohols catalyzed by Cu-MOF

Oxidative dehydrogenative homo-coupling of amines to imines and cross-coupling of amines with alcohols to amides was achieved with high to moderate yields at room temperature in THF using Cu-MOF as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst under mild conditions. Different primary benzyl amines and alcohols could be utilized for the synthesis of a wide variety of amides and imines. The Cu-MOF catalyst could be recycled and reused four times without loss of catalytic activity.

Photochemical Activation of Aromatic Aldehydes: Synthesis of Amides, Hydroxamic Acids and Esters

A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Synthesis of Benzoisoselenazolones via Rh(III)-Catalyzed Direct Annulative Selenation by Using Elemental Selenium

Isoselenazolone derivatives have attracted significant research interest because of their potent therapeutic activities and indispensable applications in organic synthesis. Efficient construction of functionalized isoselenazolone scaffolds is still challenging, and thus new synthetic approaches with improved operational simplicity have been of particular interest. In this manuscript, we introduce a rhodium-catalyzed direct selenium annulation by using stable and tractable elemental selenium. A series of benzamides as well as acrylamides were successfully coupled with selenium under mild reaction conditions, and the obtained isoselenazolones could be pivotal synthetic precursors for several organoselenium compounds. Based on the designed control experiments and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, we propose an unprecedented selenation mechanism involving a highly electrophilic Se(IV) species as the reactive selenium donor. The reaction mechanism was further verified by a computational study.

Ammonia-borane as a Catalyst for the Direct Amidation of Carboxylic Acids

Ammonia-borane serves as an efficient substoichiometric (10%) precatalyst for the direct amidation of both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids. In situ generation of amine-boranes precedes the amidation and, unlike the amidation with stoichiometric amine-boranes, this process is facile with 1 equiv of the acid. This methodology has high functional group tolerance and chromatography-free purification but is not amenable for esterification. The latter feature has been exploited to prepare hydroxyl- and thiol-containing amides.

Efficient and accessible silane-mediated direct amide coupling of carboxylic acids and amines

A straightforward method for the direct synthesis of amides from amines and carboxylic acids without exclusion of air or moisture using diphenylsilane with N-methylpyrrolidine has been developed. Various amides are made efficiently, and broad functional group compatibility is shown through a Glorius robustness study. A gram-scale synthesis demonstrates the scalability of this method.

Crystal structure of 1-(2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyloxy) benzotriazole (TCB-OBt): observation of uncommon intermolecular oxygen-oxygen interaction and synthetic application in amidation

Herein, we investigated the supramolecular assembly of a modified Yamaguchi reagent TCB-OBt. Interestingly, each molecule is interconnected through novel chalcogen-chalcogen (O?O) interaction, π-π stacking, and aromatic C-H?O interaction. Hirshfeld surface analysis confirmed the existence of uncommon O?O interactions. A well-organized supramolecular layer structure and helical arrangement were observed in the crystal structure. TCB-OBt crystallized in the O-substituted desmotropic form. DFT calculations suggest that the O-substituted form is more stable than theN-substituted form (TCB-(N)-OBt). Morphology analysis indicates the formation of a fantastically well organized, continuous block-shaped system. Furthermore, the designed reagent works as an efficient activating reagent for amide bond formation with good yields under mild reaction conditions. Use of this reagent avoided intractable acid chlorides, and this new mixed-anhydride-based reagent may further be applicable for many other organic transformations.

N -Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed amidation of aldehydes with amines via the tandem N -hydroxysuccinimide ester formation

A facile method for the amidation of aldehydes by a cascade approach was developed. This methodology, reported for the first time, uses a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as the catalyst, and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) mediated synthesis of amides utilising TBHP as the oxidant. Various substituted aldehydes reacted smoothly with NHS giving the corresponding active esters in moderate to good yields, which facilely converted into amides in one pot. In addition, the drug moclobemide was synthesized to represent the practical utility of the developed methodology. This journal is
