Ugi reactions are still a challenge when the concomitant use of ammonia and formaldehyde is required. Herein, we propose a strategy to overcome this challenge using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as a singular key for the employment of these two simple starting materials in the Ugi reaction. Acylaminoacetamide derivatives were prepared in good to excellent yields by this new methodology. The scope and optimization of the reaction conditions were investigated. This novel methodology was successfully applied in the synthesis of two different diketopiperazines (DKPs) using the Ugi/Deprotection+Activation/Cyclization (UDAC) method. A continuous flow approach was also used in this methodology.

A catalyst free procedure for the preparation of amides from inactive esters of N-protected amino acids and various amines is demonstrated under mild reaction conditions. Our effort to recover excess amine and generated alcohol is an approach towards environment friendly and cost effective synthesis under easy operational conditions.
