Oxygenation reactions with molecular oxygen (O2) as the oxygen source provides a green and straightforward strategy for the construction of O-containing compounds. Demonstrated here is a novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed oxidative transformation of simple and readily available organic halides into valuable esters through the incorporation of O-atoms from O2. Mechanistic studies prove that the deoxy Breslow intermediate generated in situ is oxidized to a Breslow intermediate for further transformation by this oxidative protocol. This method broadens the field of NHC catalysis and promotes oxygenation reactions with O2.

Amide transformations involving C–N bond cleavage are recognized as difficult reactions owing to the inert nature of amides resulting from resonance. Accordingly, a strong inductive effect and geometrical distortion reasonably decrease the resonance stabilization to attenuate the C–N linkage. Although the conversion of such activated amides has been studied intensively, reaction systems for “unactivated” amides are underdeveloped. We herein report that a zinc(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Zn(OTf)2] catalyst achieves the esterification of a wide range of unactivated tertiary amides with the assistance of intramolecular acyl rearrangement. The reaction was applied to the one-pot removal of various amide-based directing groups under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding esters in high yields.

Solvothermal reaction of zinc(ii) and cadmium(ii) salts with 5-propionamidoisophthalic acid (H2L1) and 5-benzamidoisophthalic acid (H2L2) in the presence or absence of an auxiliary ligand gives rise to a series of 1D, 2D and 3D Zn(ii) or Cd(ii) self-assembled metal-organic frameworks as revealed by X-ray diffraction structural analyses: [Zn(μ-L1-μ-1κOO′:2κO′′)(formamide)2]n (1), [{Zn2(μ-L1-1κO:2κO′)2(4,4′-bipyridine)2(H2O)}·2(DMF)·5(H2O)]n (2), [Cd(μ-L1-μ-1κO2O′:2κO′′2O′′′)(DMF)]n (3), [{Zn(μ-L2-1κO:2κO′)(4,4′-bipyridine)(H2O)}·(H2O)]n (4) and [{Cd(μ-L2-μ-1κO2O′:2κO′′2O′′′)(formamide)(4,4′-bipyridine)}·(formamide)]n (5), which are also characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The different architectures found in 1-5 result from the coordination modes of the carboxylate groups, which can assume nonbridging monodentate (in 1, 2 and 4), bridging bidentate (also in 1), bridging chelate (in 3 and 5) and chelate bidentate (also in 5) coordination. While 1 and 5 possess one dimensional double chain type structures, 3 has a 1D cyclic type structure and 2 and 4 have 2D or 3D wave-like structures, respectively. Topological analysis has shown that 1 and 5 have a 3-connected uninodal net with a topological type SP1-periodic net, 2 has a 2,4-connected binodal net, 3 has a 4-connected uninodal net structure and 4 has a more complex 2,2,2,4-connected tetranodal net. Frameworks 1-5 act as heterogeneous catalysts for the transesterification reaction of different carboxylate esters, with 4 showing the highest activity. These heterogeneous catalysts can be recycled without losing activity.
