Copper-Catalyzed C(sp3)?H Amidation: Sterically Driven Primary and Secondary C?H Site-Selectivity

Undirected C(sp3)?H functionalization reactions often follow site-selectivity patterns that mirror the corresponding C?H bond dissociation energies (BDEs). This often results in the functionalization of weaker tertiary C?H bonds in the presence of stronger secondary and primary bonds. An important, contemporary challenge is the development of catalyst systems capable of selectively functionalizing stronger primary and secondary C?H bonds over tertiary and benzylic C?H sites. Herein, we report a Cu catalyst that exhibits a high degree of primary and secondary over tertiary C?H bond selectivity in the amidation of linear and cyclic hydrocarbons with aroyl azides ArC(O)N3. Mechanistic and DFT studies indicate that C?H amidation involves H-atom abstraction from R-H substrates by nitrene intermediates [Cu](κ2-N,O-NC(O)Ar) to provide carbon-based radicals R. and copper(II)amide intermediates [CuII]-NHC(O)Ar that subsequently capture radicals R. to form products R-NHC(O)Ar. These studies reveal important catalyst features required to achieve primary and secondary C?H amidation selectivity in the absence of directing groups.

Poly(methylhydrosiloxane) as a green reducing agent in organophosphorus-catalysed amide bond formation

Development of catalytic amide bond formation reactions has been the subject of the intensive investigations in the past decade. Herein we report an efficient organophosphorus-catalysed amidation reaction between unactivated carboxylic acids and amines. Poly(methylhydrosiloxane), a waste product of the silicon industry, is used as an inexpensive and green reducing agent for in situ reduction of phosphine oxide to phosphine. The reported method enables the synthesis of a wide range of secondary and tertiary amides in very good to excellent yields.

TfOH catalyzed One-Pot Schmidt–Ritter reaction for the synthesis of amides through N-acylimides

A One-Pot tandem Schmidt–Ritter process for the synthesis of amides has been developed using the super acid as catalyst. The in situ generated aryl/aliphatic nitriles from the reaction of aldehydes and sodium azide in the presence of TfOH and AcOH (Schmidt reaction) react with suitable alcohol (Ritter reaction) to give the amides. For the first time we observed that during the Schmidt process N-acylimides were generated along with nitriles, interestingly these N-acylimides also participated in the Ritter reaction.

Direct oxidative amidation of aldehydes with amines catalyzed by heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids under solvent-free conditions via a dual-catalysis process

A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of amides directly from aldehydes and amines catalyzed by heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids under solvent-free conditions has been reported. The practical protocol was found to tolerate a wide range of substrates with different functional groups. Moderate to excellent yields, solvent-free media, and operational simplicity are the main highlights. The proposed dual-catalysis mechanistic pathway was briefly investigated. Furthermore, the heteropolyanion-based ionic liquids were easily reusable for this oxidative amidation.

Highly Stable Mesoporous Zirconium Porphyrinic Frameworks with Distinct Flexibility

The construction of highly stable metal-porphyrinic frameworks (MPFs) is appealing as these materials offer great opportunities for applications in artificial light-harvesting systems, gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, etc. Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel mesoporous metal-porphyrinic framework (denoted as NUPF-1) and its catalytic properties. NUPF-1 is constructed from a new porphyrin linker and a Zr6O8 structural building unit, possessing an unprecedented doubly interpenetrating scu net. The structure exhibits not only remarkable chemical and thermal stabilities, but also a distinct structural flexibility, which is seldom seen in metal-organic framework (MOF) materials. By the merit of high chemical stability, NUPF-1 could be easily post-metallized with [Ru3(CO)12], and the resulting {NUPF-1-RuCO} is catalytically active as a heterogeneous catalyst for intermolecular C(sp3)-H amination. Excellent yields and good recyclability for amination of small substrates with various organic azides have been achieved.

Iron/caffeine as a catalytic system for microwave-promoted benzamide formation

The amide bond is an essential unit in many drugs and polymers. The catalyzed oxidation of alcohols and amines is an effective method to form amides with limited undesired waste. Herein, we demonstrate the beneficial effect of microwave activation for this reaction. The benzamides were directly formed from alcohols and amine hydrochloride salts in short reaction times with yields up to 84% and TOFs (turnover frequencies) up to 33.6 h-1. Among the examined transition metals, only nontoxic and inexpensive FeCl2?·4H2O together with caffeine as a stabilizing ligand provided a uniquely efficient catalytic system for the transformation. Natural sources of caffeine were also evaluated under the amidation conditions.

Designing of thermally stable amide functionalized benzimidazolium perchlorate ionic liquid for transamidation of primary carboxamides

In the present work, we have designed and synthesized a thermally stable catalyst based on functionalized benzimidazolium perchlorate ionic liquid and tested its efficacy towards metal free and solvent free transamidation of amides and amines. The ionic liquid comprising the perchlorate ion has shown remarkably better activity than those which contain other anions and accordingly a plausible mechanism for the catalytic activity is arrived. The developed catalytic system has shown excellent activity towards the transamidation of alicyclic and aromatic amines with acetamide, benzamide and p-nitrobenzamide under mild conditions. Furthermore, the transamidation of nicotinamide with benzylamine in presence of the ionic liquid catalyst was found to occur with very good yields and thus provides a facile route for the synthesis of pharmaceutically significant compounds. The catalyst has exhibited very good thermal stability upto 203 °C and very good recyclability upto 5 runs without significant loss in its activity.

Iron-catalyzed benzamide formation. Application to the synthesis of moclobemide

A convenient and user-friendly method to yield benzamides from primary and secondary amines and various benzylic alcohols in the presence of a cheap iron salt (FeCl2·4H2O) and tert-butylhydroperoxide (70% in water) as a stoichiometric oxidant is described. Control experiments indicated that this reaction might involve radical species. This method proved to be general, generating a family of 30 benzamides and was applied to the preparative synthesis of anti-anxiety drug moclobemide.
