C?H amination and amidation by catalytic nitrene transfer are well-established and typically proceed via electrophilic attack of nitrenoid intermediates. In contrast, the insertion of (formal) terminal nitride ligands into C?H bonds is much less developed and catalytic nitrogen atom transfer remains unknown. We here report the synthesis of a formal terminal nitride complex of palladium. Photocrystallographic, magnetic, and computational characterization support the assignment as an authentic metallonitrene (Pd?N) with a diradical nitrogen ligand that is singly bonded to PdII. Despite the subvalent nitrene character, selective C?H insertion with aldehydes follows nucleophilic selectivity. Transamidation of the benzamide product is enabled by reaction with N3SiMe3. Based on these results, a photocatalytic protocol for aldehyde C?H trimethylsilylamidation was developed that exhibits inverted, nucleophilic selectivity as compared to typical nitrene transfer catalysis. This first example of catalytic C?H nitrogen atom transfer offers facile access to primary amides after deprotection.

Catalytic aerobic oxidation of primary amines to the amides, using the precatalyst [Ru(COD)(L1)Br2] (1) bearing an annulated π-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene ligand L1, is disclosed. This catalytic protocol is distinguished by its high activity and selectivity, wide substrate scope and modest reaction conditions. A variety of primary amines, RCH2NH2 (R = aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic), are converted to the corresponding amides using ambient air as an oxidant in the presence of a sub-stoichiometric amount of KOtBu in tBuOH. A set of control experiments, Hammett relationships, kinetic studies and DFT calculations are undertaken to divulge mechanistic details of the amine oxidation using 1. The catalytic reaction involves abstraction of two amine protons and two benzylic hydrogen atoms of the metal-bound primary amine by the oxo and hydroxo ligands, respectively. A β-hydride transfer step for the benzylic C-H bond cleavage is not supported by Hammett studies. The nitrile generated by the catalytic oxidation undergoes hydration to afford the amide as the final product. This journal is

Ball milling of aromatic, heteroaromatic, vinylic, and aliphatic esters with ethanol and calcium nitride afforded the corresponding primary amides in a transformation that was compatible with a variety of functional groups and maintained the integrity of a stereocenter α to carbonyl. This methodology was applied to α-amino esters and N-BOC dipeptide esters and also to the synthesis of rufinamide, an antiepileptic drug.

The iron oxide was successfully supported on activated clay/carbon through an experimentally viable protocol for both hydrations of nitrile to amide and reduction of nitro compounds to amines. The as-prepared catalyst has been extensively characterised by XPS, SEM-EDX, TEM, TGA, BET surface area measurements and powdered X-ray diffraction (PXRD). A wide variety of substrates could be converted to the desired products with good to excellent yields by using water as a green solvent for both the reactions. The catalyst was recyclable and reusable up to six consecutive cycles without compromising its catalytic proficiency. Graphical abstract: Activated Mont K10 carbon-supported Fe2O3 is a very efficient and versatile heterogeneous catalytic system for hydration of nitriles to amides and reduction of nitro compounds to amines and can be reused up to six consecutive cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Herein, we report a green, expeditious, and practically simple protocol for direct coupling of carboxylate salts and ammonium salts under ACN/H2O conditions at room temperature without the addition of tertiary amine bases. The water-soluble coupling reagent EDC·HCl is a key component in the reaction. The reaction runs smoothly with unsubstituted/substituted ammonium salts and provides a clean product without column chromatography. Our reaction tolerates both carboxylate (which are unstable in other forms) and amine salts (which are unstable/volatile when present in free form). We believe that the reported method could be used as an alternative and suitable method at the laboratory and industrial scales. This journal is

In the present work, we describe an efficient method for scalable synthesis and purification of 1,4-dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH) from commercially available nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCl) and in the presence of sodium dithionate as a reducing agent. NRH is industrially relevant as the most effective, synthetic NAD+precursor. We demonstrated that solid phase synthesis cannot be used for the reduction of NRCl to NRH in high yield, whereas a reduction reaction in water at room temperature under anaerobic conditions is shown to be very effective, reaching a 55% isolation yield. For the first time, by using common column chromatography, we were able to highly purify this sensitive bio-compound with good yield. A series of identifications and analyses including HPLC, NMR, LC-MS, FTIR, and UV-vis spectroscopy were performed on the purified sample, confirming the structure of NRH as well as its purity to be 96%. Thermal analysis of NRH showed higher thermal stability compared to NRCl, and with two major weight losses, one at 218 °C and another at 805 °C. We also investigated the long term stability effects of temperature, pH, light, and oxygen (as air) on the NRH in aqueous solutions. Our results show that NRH can be oxidized in the presence of oxygen, and it hydrolyzed quickly in acidic conditions. It was also found that the degradation rate is lower under a N2atmosphere, at lower temperatures, and under basic pH conditions.

A LiOH-promoted hydrolysis selective C-N cleavage of twisted N-acyl glutarimide for the synthesis of primary amides under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction is triggered by a ring opening of glutarimide followed by C-N cleavage to afford primary amides using 2 equiv of LiOH as the base at room temperature. The efficacy of the reactions was considered and administrated for various aryl and alkyl substituents in good yield with high selectivity. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis of primary amides using a continuous flow method was achieved. It is noted that our new methodology can apply under both batch and flow conditions for synthetic and industrial applications.

Direct oxidative amination of the sp3C-H bond is an attractive synthesis route to obtain amides. Conventional catalytic systems for this transformation are based on transition metals and complicated synthesis processes. Herein, direct and efficient oxidative amination of the methyl C-H bond in a wide range of N-heterocycles to access the corresponding amides over metal-free porous carbon is successfully developed. To understand the fundamental structure-activity relationships of carbon catalysts, the surface functional groups and the graphitization degree of porous carbon have been purposefully tailored through doping with nitrogen or phosphorus. The results of characterization, kinetic studies, liquid-phase adsorption experiments, and theoretical calculations indicate that the high activity of the carbon catalyst is attributed to the synergistic effect of surface acidic functional groups (hydroxyl/carboxylic acid/phosphate) and more graphene edge structures exposed on the surface of carbon materials with a high graphitization degree, in which the role of acidic functional groups is to adsorb the substrate molecule and the role of the graphene edge structure is to activate O2

The performances of heterogeneous catalysts can be effectively tuned by changing the catalyst structures. Here we report a controllable nitrile synthesis from alcohol ammoxidation, where the nitrile hydration side reaction could be efficiently prevented by changing the manganese oxide catalysts. α-Mn2O3 based catalysts are highly selective for nitrile synthesis, but MnO2-based catalysts including α, β, γ, and δ phases favour the amide production from tandem ammoxidation and hydration steps. Multiple structural, kinetic, and spectroscopic investigations reveal that water decomposition is hindered on α-Mn2O3, thus to switch off the nitrile hydration. In addition, the selectivity-control feature of manganese oxide catalysts is mainly related to their crystalline nature rather than oxide morphology, although the morphological issue is usually regarded as a crucial factor in many reactions.

The photorelease of bioactive molecules has emerged as a valuable tool in biochemistry. Nevertheless, many important bioactive molecules, such as pyridine derivatives, cannot benefit from currently available organic photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs). We found that the inefficient photorelease of pyridines is attributed to intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from PPGs to pyridinium ions. To alleviate PET, we rationally designed a strategy to drive the excited state of PPG from S1 to T1 with a heavy atom, and synthesized a new PPG by substitution of the H atom at the 3-position of 7-dietheylamino-coumarin-4-methyl (DEACM) with Br or I. This resulted in an improved photolytic efficiency of the pyridinium ion by hundreds-fold in aqueous solution. The PPG can be applied to various pyridine derivatives. The successful photorelease of a microtubule inhibitor, indibulin, in living cells was demonstrated for the potential application of this strategy in biochemical research.
