Weak base-promoted selective rearrangement of oxaziridines to amidesviavisible-light photoredox catalysis

The selective rearrangement of oxaziridines to amidesviaa single electron transfer (SET) pathway is unexplored. In this study, we present a weak base-promoted selective rearrangement of oxaziridines to amidesviavisible-light photoredox catalysis. The developed method shows excellent functional group tolerance with a broad substrate scope and good to excellent yields. Furthermore, control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to gain insight into the reactivity and selectivity.

A convenient synthesis of N-tert-butyl amides by the reaction of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and nitriles catalyzed by Cu(OTf)2

The utility of Cu(OTf)2 as the catalyst for the synthesis of a series of N-tert-butyl amides in excellent isolated yields via the reaction of nitriles (alkyl, aryl, benzyl, and furyl nitriles) with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is described. Cu(OTf)2 is a highly stable and efficient catalyst for the present Ritter reaction under solvent-free conditions at room temperature.

Organophotoredox-Mediated Amide Synthesis by Coupling Alcohol and Amine through Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohol

The combination of an organic photocatalyst [4CzIPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6 dicyanobenzene) or 5MeOCzBN (2,3,4,5,6-pentakis(3,6-dimethoxy-9 H-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile)], quinuclidine, and tetra-n-butylammonium phosphate (hydrogen-bonding catalyst) was employed for amide bond formations. The hydrogen-bonded OH group activated the adjacent C?H bond of alcohols towards hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) by a radical species. The quinuclidinium radical cation, generated through single-electron oxidation of quinuclidine by the photocatalyst, employed to abstract a hydrogen atom from the α-C?H bond of alcohols selectively due to a polarity effect-produced α-hydroxyalkyl radical, which subsequently converted to the corresponding aldehyde under aerobic conditions. Then the coupling of the aldehyde and an amine formed a hemiaminal intermediate that upon photocatalytic oxidation produced the amide.

Nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of Aryl/Alkenyl/Allyl (pseudo)halides with isocyanides and H2O

Herein described is a nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl/alkenyl/allyl (pseudo)halides with isocyanides, providing aryl/alkenyl/allyl amides in 41% to 92% yields. Functional groups such as F, Cl, OMe, and heteroaromatic rings are compatible in the reaction. A Ni(0)/Ni(II) catalytic cycle is proposed based on preliminary experiments and previous literature. The reaction features readily available nickel salt, broad functional group tolerance, and simple reaction conditions.

Oxidative C?H/C?H Cross-Coupling Reactions between N-Acylanilines and Benzamides Enabled by a Cp*-Free RhCl3/TFA Catalytic System

By making use of a dual-chelation-assisted strategy, a completely regiocontrolled oxidative C?H/C?H cross-coupling reaction between an N-acylaniline and a benzamide has been accomplished for the first time. This process constitutes a step-economic and highly efficient pathway to 2-amino-2′-carboxybiaryl scaffolds from readily available substrates. A Cp*-free RhCl3/TFA catalytic system was developed to replace the [Cp*RhCl2]2/AgSbF6 system generally used in oxidative C?H/C?H cross-coupling reactions between two (hetero)arenes (Cp=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The RhCl3/TFA system avoids the use of the expensive Cp* ligand and AgSbF6. As an illustrative example, the procedure developed herein greatly streamlines the total synthesis of the naturally occurring benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid oxynitidine, which was accomplished in excellent overall yield.

Bu4NI-Catalyzed Oxygen-Centered Radical Addition between Acyl Peroxides and Isocyanides

A novel oxygen-centered radical addition between acyl peroxides and isocyanides has been developed. A diverse collection of valuable arylcarboxyamides were easily synthesized by this protocol. From the preliminary mechanistic study, the elimination of carbon dioxide affords the product via an intramolecular rearrangement.

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.

One-pot sequential Schmidt and Ritter reactions for the synthesis of N-tert-butyl amides

The first example of the direct conversion of benzaldehydes into their corresponding N-tert-butyl amides through a Schmidt reaction/Ritter reaction sequence is described. A reagent mixture consisting of NaN3 and HBF4?OEt2 in acetic acid efficiently reacts with aromatic and conjugated (α,β-unsaturated) aldehydes to produce nitrile derivatives, which in situ undergo a Ritter reaction with tert-butyl acetate to afford the corresponding N-tert-butyl amides in almost quantitative yields. The method needs no column chromatography purification. The wide substrate scope as well as the ready availability of the reagent system also make this protocol convenient.

Highly efficient synthesis of amides via Ritter chemistry with ionic liquids

The utility of Br?nsted-acidic imidazolium ionic liquid [BMIM(SO3H)][OTf] as catalyst for the high yield synthesis of a wide variety of amides under mild conditions via the Ritter reaction of alcohols with nitriles has been demonstrated. As alternative methods for the carbocation generation step, NOPF6 immobilized in [BMIM][PF6] ionic liquid was used in the Ritter reaction of bromides with nitriles and for the synthesis of adamantyl amides from adamantane and nitriles.

Several convenient methods for the synthesis of 2-amido substituted furans

Several new methods for the synthesis of differently substituted 2-amidofurans are described. The thermolysis of furan-2-carbonyl azide results in a Curtius rearrangement and the resulting furanyl isocyanate was trapped with various organometallic reagents. A second method consists of a C-N cross-coupling reaction of a bromo-substituted furan with various amides, carbamates, and lactams. The CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between furanyl bromides and amides furnished 2- and 3-substituted amidofurans in 45-95% yield. The third protocol used involves the reaction of cyclic carbinol amides with triflic anhydride. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions to provide α-(trifluoromethyl)sulfonamido-substituted furans in high yield. The resulting iminium ion derived from the reaction of the hydroxy pyrrolidinone with Tf2O undergoes a facile ring opening as a consequence of the adjacent hydroxyl group to produce an imino triflate intermediate. Subsequent cyclization of this highly electrophilic imine with the oxygen atom of the adjacent carbonyl group leads to an imino dihydrofuran that reacts further with another equivalent of Tf2O to give the observed product.
