Tetrabenzylpyrophosphate: An efficient catalyst for the synthesis of carboxamides from carboxylic acids and amines

An efficient method for the synthesis of simple and sterically hindered carboxamides from various carboxylic acids and amines using tetrabenzylpyrophosphate (TBPP) as a coupling agent in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) is described. The r

Synthesis of indolones via radical cyclization of N-(2-halogenoalkanoyl)- substituted anilines

The radical reactions of N-(2-halogenoalkanoyl)-substituted anilines (anilides) of type 1 have been investigated under various conditions. Treatment of compounds 1a-1o with Bu3SnH in the presence of (2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) afforded a mixture of the indolones (oxindoles) 2a-2o and the reduction products 5a-5o (Table 1). In contrast, the N-unsubstituted anilides 1p-1s, 1u, and 1v gave the corresponding reduction products exclusively (Table 1). Similar results were obtained by treatment of 1 with Ni powder (Table 2) or wth Et3B (Table 3). Anilides with longer N-(phenylalkyl) chains such as 6 and 7 were inert towards radical cyclization, with the exception of N-benzyl-2-bromo-N,2-dimethylpropanamide (6b), which, upon treatment with Ni powder in i-PrOH, afforded the cyclized product 9b in low yield (Table 4). Upon irradiation, the extended anilides 6, 7, 10, and 11 yielded the corresponding dehydrobromination products exclusively (Table 5).

The extraordinary reactions of phenyldimethylsilyllithium with N,N-disubstituted amides

The reactions of the silyllithium reagent with tertiary amides was discussed. The enediamines were easily isomerized from cis to trans, easily oxidized to dienediamines and were hydrolyzed to α-aminoketones. If the two equivalents of the silyllithium reagent were used, the product was an α-silylamine. The results show that each member of the homologous series of amides gives rise to a substantially different product.

Electrochemistry of 2-Bromo-2-methylpropanamides. Reduction Mechanism and Cyclocoupling Reaction with Amide Solvents

The electrochemical reduction of series of secondary and tertiary α-bromoisobutyramides has been studied in dipolar aprotic solvents.A carbanion is formed at the mercury electrode as a consequence of two-electron C-Br bond cleavage.Voltammetry and macroelectrolysis point to a self-protonation mechanism, the carbanion undergoing protonation by a parent molecule to yield the isobutyramide.Concurrently, tertiary 2-bromoamides undergo 1,2-elimination to yield an αβ-unsaturated amide, while secondary 2-bromoamides are deprotonated at the nitrogen atom, affording a bromo-containing anion.The decay of the latter is strongly dependent on the solvent and the substituent at nitrogen.In acetonitrile, elimination and fragmentation products are identified in the electrolysed solution.On the other hand, in N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylacetamide, the bromo-containing anion is eventually cyclocondensed onto the carbonyl group of the amide solvent, to yield an oxazolidin-4-one derivative.Preliminary data suggest that an analogous cyclocoupling reaction takes place when the reduction is carried out in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

Electrochemical Reduction of 2-Bromo-carboxamides. Self-protonation Mechanism and Reaction with Dimethylformamide

Electrochemical reduction of 2-bromo-carboxamides involves self-protonation of the electrogenerated bases and affords, among other products, cyclo-adducts incorporating a dimethylformamide unit.
