- Mechanistic Elucidation of Zirconium-Catalyzed Direct Amidation
-
The mechanism of the zirconium-catalyzed condensation of carboxylic acids and amines for direct formation of amides was studied using kinetics, NMR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. The reaction is found to be first order with respect to the catalyst and has a positive rate dependence on amine concentration. A negative rate dependence on carboxylic acid concentration is observed along with S-shaped kinetic profiles under certain conditions, which is consistent with the formation of reversible off-cycle species. Kinetic experiments using reaction progress kinetic analysis protocols demonstrate that inhibition of the catalyst by the amide product can be avoided using a high amine concentration. These insights led to the design of a reaction protocol with improved yields and a decrease in catalyst loading. NMR spectroscopy provides important details of the nature of the zirconium catalyst and serves as the starting point for a theoretical study of the catalytic cycle using DFT calculations. These studies indicate that a dinuclear zirconium species can catalyze the reaction with feasible energy barriers. The amine is proposed to perform a nucleophilic attack at a terminal η2-carboxylate ligand of the zirconium catalyst, followed by a C-O bond cleavage step, with an intermediate proton transfer from nitrogen to oxygen facilitated by an additional equivalent of amine. In addition, the DFT calculations reproduce experimentally observed effects on reaction rate, induced by electronically different substituents on the carboxylic acid.

- Direct Amidation of Esters by Ball Milling**
-
The direct mechanochemical amidation of esters by ball milling is described. The operationally simple procedure requires an ester, an amine, and substoichiometric KOtBu and was used to prepare a large and diverse library of 78 amide structures with modest to excellent efficiency. Heteroaromatic and heterocyclic components are specifically shown to be amenable to this mechanochemical protocol. This direct synthesis platform has been applied to the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals as well as the gram-scale synthesis of an active pharmaceutical, all in the absence of a reaction solvent.

- Phenysilane and Silicon Tetraacetate: Versatile Promotors for Amide Synthesis
-
Phenylsilane was reevaluated as a useful coupling reagent for amide synthesis. At room temperature, a wide range of amides and peptides were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 99 %). For the first time, Weinreb amides synthesis mediated by a hydrosilane were also documented. Comparative experiments with various acetoxysilanes suggested the involvement of a phenyl-triacyloxysilane. From this mechanistic study, silicon tetraacetate was shown as an efficient amine acylating agent.

- Direct amide formation in a continuous-flow system mediated by carbon disulfide
-
Amide bonds are ubiquitous in nature. They can be found in proteins, peptides, alkaloids, etc. and they are used in various synthetic drugs too. Amide bonds are mainly made by the use of (i) hazardous carboxylic acid derivatives or (ii) expensive coupling agents. Both ways make the synthetic technology less atom economic. We report a direct flow-based synthesis of amides. The developed approach is prominently simple and various aliphatic and aromatic amides were synthetized with excellent yields. The reaction in itself is carried out in acetonitrile, which is considered as a less problematic dipolar aprotic solvent. The used coupling agent, carbon disulfide, is widely available and has a low price. The utilized heterogeneous Lewis acid, alumina, is a sustainable material and it can be utilized multiple times. The technology is considerably robust and shows excellent reusability and easy scale-up is carried out without the need of any intensive purification protocols.

- Structure–activity relationships (SARs) of α- ketothioamides as inhibitors of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH)
-
For many years now, targeting deregulation within cancer cells’ metabolism has appeared as a promising strategy for the development of more specific and efficient cancer treatments. Recently, numerous reports highlighted the crucial role of the serine synthetic pathway, and particularly of the phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), the first enzyme of the pathway, to sustain cancer progression. Yet, because of very weak potencies usually in cell-based settings, the inhibitors reported so far failed to lay ground on the potential of this approach. In this paper, we report a structure–activity relationship study of a series of α-ketothioamides that we have recently identified. Interestingly, this study led to a deeper understanding of the structure–activity relationship (SAR) in this series and to the identification of new PHGDH inhibitors. The activity of the more potent compounds was confirmed by cellular thermal shift assays and in cell-based experiments. We hope that this research will eventually provide a new entry point, based on this promising chemical scaffold, for the development of therapeutic agents targeting PHGDH.

- Ni-Catalyzed Regiodivergent and Stereoselective Hydroalkylation of Acyclic Branched Dienes with Unstabilized C(sp3) Nucleophiles
-
Two complementary regiodivergent [(P,N)Ni]-catalyzed hydroalkylations of branched dienes are reported. When amides are employed as unstabilized C(sp3) nucleophiles, a highly regioselective 1,4-addition process is favored. The addition products are obtained in high yield and with excellent stereocontrol of the internal olefin. With use of a chiral ligand and imides as carbon nucleophiles, a 3,4-addition protocol was developed, enabling construction of two contiguous tertiary stereocenters in a single step with moderate to high levels of diastereocontrol and excellent enantiocontrol. Both methods operate under mild reaction conditions, display a broad scope, and show excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic potential of the 3,4-hydroalkylation reaction was established via a series of postcatalytic modifications.

Phosphorus pentoxide and DMAP are used for amide bond formation from carboxylic acids and amines. Dipeptides and amides have been synthesized using this reagent in 42–77% yields and >99% ees. The protocol is attractive as it occurs at ambient temperature, the formation of organic by-products is minimal and the reagent can be readily quenched using water. Furthermore, excellent enantioselectivities are observed without the use of harsh triazole based additives.

The reactions occur in chlorinated solvent and aqueous medium, showing applications in peptide chemistry.

Finally, nucleophilic additions of primary and secondary amines to the free ketenes yield the corresponding amides.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Amide Bond Formation from Methyl Esters

Despite being one of the most important and frequently run chemical reactions, the synthesis of amide bonds is accomplished primarily by wasteful methods that proceed by stoichiometric activation of one of the starting materials. We report a nickel-catalyzed procedure that can enable diverse amides to be synthesized from abundant methyl ester starting materials, producing only volatile alcohol as a stoichiometric waste product. In contrast to acid- and base-mediated amidations, the reaction is proposed to proceed by a neutral cross coupling-type mechanism, opening up new opportunities for direct, efficient, chemoselective synthesis.

- Straightforward α-Amino Nitrile Synthesis Through Mo(CO)6-Catalyzed Reductive Functionalization of Carboxamides

The selective reduction of amides into an intermediate hemiaminal catalyzed by Mo(CO)6 together with the inexpensive and easy to handle TMDS (1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane) as reducing agent, followed by subsequent trapping of the hemiaminal with a cyanide source, allows for the straightforward synthesis of α-amino nitriles. The methodology presented here, displays high levels of chemoselectivity allowing for the reduction of amides in the presence of functional groups such as ketones, imines, aldehydes, and acids, which affords a simple route for the synthesis of α-amino nitriles with a broad scope of functionalities in high yields. Furthermore, the applicability of this methodology is demonstrated by scale up experiments and by derivatization of the target compounds into synthetically interesting products. The selective cyanation is successfully applied in late stage functionalizations of amide containing drugs and prolinol derivatives.

- Enantioselective 1,2-Anionotropic Rearrangement of Acylsilane through a Bisguanidinium Silicate Ion Pair
-
Highly enantioselective bisguanidinium-catalyzed tandem rearrangements of acylsilanes are reported. The acylsilanes were activated via an addition of fluoride on the silicon to form a penta-coordinate anionic silicate intermediate. The silicate then underwent alkyl or aryl group migration from the silicon atom to the neighboring carbonyl carbon atom (1,2-anionotropic rearrangement), followed by [1,2]-Brook rearrangement to provide the secondary alcohols in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). The isolation of an α-silylcarbinol intermediate as well as DFT calculations revealed that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement occurred via a bisguanidinium silicate ion pair, which is the stereodetermining step. The chiral center formed is then retained without inversion through the subsequent [1,2]-Brook rearrangement. Crotyl acylsilanes were smoothly transformed into homoallylic linear crotyl alcohols with retention of E/Z geometry, and no branched alcohols were detected. This clearly suggested that the 1,2-anionotropic rearrangement occurred through a three-membered instead of a five-membered transition state.

- [Co(MeTAA)] Metalloradical Catalytic Route to Ketenes via Carbonylation of Carbene Radicals
-
An efficient synthetic strategy towards beta-lactams, amides, and esters involving “in situ” generation of ketenes and subsequent trapping with nucleophiles is presented. Carbonylation of carbene radical intermediates using the cheap and highly active cobalt(II) tetramethyltetraaza[14]annulene catalyst [Co(MeTAA)] provides a convenient one-pot synthetic protocol towards substituted ketenes. N-tosylhydrazones are used as carbene precursors, thereby bridging the gap between aldehydes and ketenes. Activation of these carbene precursors by the metalloradical cobalt(II) catalyst affords CoIII-carbene radicals, which subsequently react with carbon monoxide to form ketenes. In the presence of a nucleophile (imine, alcohol, or amine) in the reaction medium the ketene is immediately trapped, resulting in the desired products in a one-pot synthetic protocol. The β-lactams formed upon reaction with imines are produced in a highly trans-selective manner.

The transformation of amides is highly chemoselective and tolerates functional groups such as nitro, nitriles, esters, and ketones. Furthermore, a versatile scope of 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles derived from a variety of hydroximinoyl chlorides and amides is demonstrated. (Figure presented.).

- Iron-Catalyzed Amide Formation from the Dehydrogenative Coupling of Alcohols and Secondary Amines
-
The five-coordinate iron(II) hydride complex (iPrPNP)Fe(H)(CO) (iPrPNP = N[CH2CH2(PiPr2)]2) selectively catalyzes the dehydrogenative intermolecular coupling of alcohols and secondary amines to form tertiary amides. This is the most productive base-metal catalyst for dehydrogenative amidation reported to date, in some cases achieving up to 600 turnovers. The catalyst works well for sterically undemanding amines and alcohols or cyclic substrates and is particularly effective in the synthesis of formamides from methanol. However, the catalyst performance declines rapidly with the incorporation of large substituents on the amine or alcohol substrate. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopic studies suggest that the catalyst resting state is an off-cycle iron(II) methoxide species, (iPrPN(H)P)Fe(H)(OCH3)(CO), resulting from addition of methanol across the Fe-N bond of (iPrPNP)Fe(H)(CO). This reversibly formed iron(II) methoxide complex is favored at mild temperatures but eliminates methanol upon heating.

- Design and synthesis of ruthenium(II) OCO pincer type NHC complexes and their catalytic role towards the synthesis of amides
-
The present contribution describes the synthesis and characterization of a family of robust ruthenium complexes, supported by a tridentate pincer ligand of the type bis-phenolate-N-heterocyclic carbene [ tBu(OCO) 2-] (NHC). Ruthenium(II) complexes (1-3) bearing bis-phenolate-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of imidazolinium proligand (HL) with metal precursors [RuHCl(CO)(EPh3)2(B)] (E = P or As; B = PPh3, AsPh3 or Py) by transmetalation from the corresponding silver carbene complex. All the Ru(II)-NHC complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic methods as well as ESI mass spectrometry. Based on the spectral results, an octahedral geometry was assigned for all the complexes. The tridentate nature of the tBu(OCO) 2- ligand as well as some level of steric protection provided by the t Bu groups may rationalize the excellent stability of the Ru-Ccarbene bond in the present systems. Moreover, for the explorations of catalytic potential of the synthesized compounds, all the three [Ru-NHC] complexes (1-3) were tested as catalysts for amidation of alcohols with amines. Notably, the complex 1 was found to be very efficient and versatile catalyst towards amidation of a wide range of alcohols with amines. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Tertiary amines react rapidly and reversibly with arylketenes in acetonitrile forming observable zwitterions, and these undergo amine catalyzed dealkylation forming N,N-disubstituted amides. Reactions of N- methyldialkylamines show a strong preference for methyl group loss by displacement, as predicted by computational studies. Loss of ethyl groups in reactions with triethylamine also occur by displacement, but preferential loss of isopropyl groups in the phenylketene reaction with diisopropylethylamine evidently involves elimination. Quinuclidine rapidly forms long-lived zwitterions with arylketenes, providing a model for catalysis by cinchona and related alkaloids in stereoselective additions to ketenes.

- Amide formation using in situ activation of carboxylic acids with [Et 2NSF2]BF4
-
The formation of amides through the in situ activation of carboxylic acids with [Et2NSF2]BF4 is presented. A wide range of carboxylic acids and amines were used to produce the corresponding amides in up to 99 % yield. The reaction of hindered amines was also possible in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) under slightly modified conditions. An enantiopure carboxylic acid and amine were both shown to react without racemization. Copyright

- Direct synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and amines using B(OCH2CF3)3
-
B(OCH2CF3)3, prepared from readily available B2O3 and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, is as an effective reagent for the direct amidation of a variety of carboxylic acids with a broad range of amines. In most cases, the amide products can be purified by a simple filtration procedure using commercially available resins, with no need for aqueous workup or chromatography. The amidation of N-protected amino acids with both primary and secondary amines proceeds effectively, with very low levels of racemization. B(OCH2CF3)3 can also be used for the formylation of a range of amines in good to excellent yield, via transamidation of dimethylformamide.

- Carbene radicals in cobalt(II)-porphyrin-catalysed carbene carbonylation reactions; A catalytic approach to ketenes
-
One-pot radicals: Cobalt(III)-carbene radicals, generated by metallo-radical activation of diazo compounds and N-tosylhydrazone sodium salts with cobalt(II) complexes of porphyrins, readily undergo radical addition to carbon monoxide, allowing the catalytic production of ketenes. These ketenes subsequently react with various amines, alcohols and imines in one-pot tandem transformations to produce differently substituted amides, esters and β-lactams in good isolated yields.

- PROCESS OF FORMING AN AMIDE
-
A process is provided for the synthesis of an amide. A primary or secondary amine and a primary alcohol, with the amine and the alcohol being either moieties of different reactants or moieties of the same molecule, are contacted in the presence of a Ruthenium (II) catalyst. The Ruthenium (II) catalyst is free of a phosphine ligand. The process is also carried out in the absence of a phosphine. Providing the Ruthenium (II) catalyst includes providing an N-heterocyclic carbene.

- N-heterocyclic carbene based ruthenium-catalyzed direct amide synthesis from alcohols and secondary amines: Involvement of esters
-
A well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene based ruthenium complex was developed as a highly active precatalyst for the direct amide synthesis from alcohols and secondary amines. Notably, reaction of 1-hexanol and dibenzylamine afforded 60% of the corresponding amide using our catalytic system, while no amide formation was observed for this reaction with the previously reported catalytic systems. Unlike the previously reported amidation with less sterically hindered alcohols and amines, involvement of ester intermediates was observed (Figure presented).

- Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of diazo compounds at atmospheric pressure: A catalytic approach to ketenes
-
The carbonylation of carbenes through catalytic cycles is highly desirable due to the importance of ketene-mediated reactions in organic synthesis. In this investigation, a highly efficient and mild catalytic approach toward ketene intermediates has been developed based on Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of diazo compounds with CO. When α-diazocarbonyl compounds or N-tosylhydrazone salts are heated in the presence of a palladium catalyst under atmospheric pressure of CO, ketene intermediates are formed in situ, where they undergo further reactions with various nucleophiles such as alcohols, amines, or imines. The Pd-catalyzed tandem carbonylation-Staudinger cycloaddition gives β-lactam derivatives in good yields with excellent trans diastereoselectivity. The results from DFT calculation on the reaction mechanism suggest that Pd is involved in the [2 + 2] cycloaddition process and affects the diastereoselectivity of the β-lactam products by assisting isomerization of the addition intermediate. On the other hand, the acylketenes generated from the Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of α-diazoketones react with imines in a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition manner to afford 1,3-dioxin-4-one derivatives. This straightforward carbonylation provides a new approach toward highly efficient catalytic generation of ketene species under mild conditions.
