- Metal-Free, Rapid, and Highly Chemoselective Reduction of Aromatic Nitro Compounds at Room Temperature
-
In this study, we developed a metal-free and highly chemoselective method for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. This reduction was performed using tetrahydroxydiboron [B2(OH)4] as the reductant and 4,4′-bipyridine as the organocatalyst and could be completed within 5 min at room temperature. Under optimal conditions, nitroarenes with sensitive functional groups, such as vinyl, ethynyl, carbonyl, and halogen, were converted into the corresponding anilines with excellent selectivity while avoiding the undesirable reduction of the sensitive functional groups.

- Supported CuII Single-Ion Catalyst for Total Carbon Utilization of C2 and C3 Biomass-Based Platform Molecules in the N-Formylation of Amines
-
The shift from fossil carbon sources to renewable ones is vital for developing sustainable chemical processes to produce valuable chemicals. In this work, value-added formamides were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of amines with C2 and C3 biomass-based platform molecules such as glycolic acid, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde. These feedstocks were selectively converted by catalysts based on Cu-containing zeolite 5A through the in situ formation of carbonyl-containing intermediates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in which all the carbon atoms in biomass-based feedstocks could be amidated to produce formamide. Combined catalyst characterization results revealed preferably single CuII sites on the surface of Cu/5A, some of which form small clusters, but without direct linking via oxygen bridges. By combining the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping, operando attenuated total reflection (ATR) IR spectroscopy and control experiments, it was found that the formation of formamides might involve a HCOOH-like intermediate and .NHPh radicals, in which the selective formation of .OOH radicals might play a key role.

- Catalyst freeN-formylation of aromatic and aliphatic amines exploiting reductive formylation of CO2using NaBH4
-
Herein, we report a sustainable approach forN-formylation of aromatic as well as aliphatic amines using sodium borohydride and carbon dioxide gas. The developed approach is catalyst free, and does not need pressure or a specialized reaction assembly. The reductive formylation of CO2with sodium borohydride generates formoxy borohydride speciesin situ, as confirmed by1H and11B NMR spectroscopy. Thein situformation of formoxy borohydride species is prominent in formamide based solvents and is critical for the success of theN-formylation reactions. The formoxy borohydride is also found to promote transamidation reactions as a competitive pathway along with reductive functionalization of CO2with amine leading toN-formylation of amines.

- Reductive Formylation of Nitroarenes using HCOOH over Bimetallic C?N Framework Derived from the Integration of MOF and COF
-
CoZn embedded C?N framework is prepared by the carbonization of CoZn containing MOF integrated with COF porous architecture in Ar atmosphere. The graphitic nature of porous carbon is confirmed from Raman analysis. The porosity and nanostructure information are retrieved from N2-sorption and transmission electron microscopic analysis, respectively. The incorporation of different metals and their oxidation states and types of nitrogen present in the C?N framework are confirmed from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The basicity of the materials is determined from a CO2-temperature programmed desorption. ZnCo embedded C?N framework exhibits excellent activity in the selective reductive formylation using HCOOH. For comparison, more than 15 materials are prepared, and their activities are compared. Several control experiments are performed to establish a structure-activity relation. The recycling experiment, hot-filtration test, and poisoning experiment demonstrate the metal embedded porous C?N framework‘s recyclability and stability. A reaction mechanism for the reductive N-formylation of nitroaromatics is presented based on structure-activity relationship, control reactions, and physicochemical characterizations. The development of interesting MOF-COF-derived metal nanoclusters embedded C?N framework for selective reductive formylation of nitroaromatics using formic acid will be highly attractive to catalysis researchers and industrialists.

- Acid-catalyzed chemodivergent reactions of 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde and anilines
-
Chemodivergent reactions of 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde and anilines were described, which were established on the basis of either a C[sbnd]C bond cleavage or a rearrangement process of a reaction intermediate. These reactions proceeded in a condition-determined manner with good functional group tolerance. In the first model, 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde reacted with aniline to form a new C[sbnd]N bond, in the presence of O2, via a C[sbnd]C bond cleavage reaction. However, in the second model, by performing the reaction in the absence of O2, Heyns rearrangement occurred and generated a new C[sbnd]O bond to form methyl phenylglycinate. Such condition-determined reactions not only offered the new way for value-added conversion of biomass-derived platform molecule, 2, 2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde, but also provided efficient methods for the synthesis of N-arylformamides and methyl phenylglycinates.

We report herein that a borane-trimethylamine complex worked as an efficient reducing agent for the selective methylation and formylation of amines with 1 atm CO2 under metal-free conditions. 6-Amino-2-picoline serves as a highly efficient catalyst for the methylation of various secondary amines, whereas in its absence, the formylation of primary and secondary amines was achieved in high yield with high chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the 6-amino-2-picoline-borane catalytic system operates like an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair to activate CO2.

An efficient method has been developed for the reductive amination of CO2 by using readily available and recyclable oxofluorovanadates as catalysts. Various amines are transformed into the desired N-formylated products in moderate to excellent yields at room temperature in the presence of phenylsilane. Mechanistic studies based on in situ infrared spectroscopy suggest a reaction pathway initiated through F?Si interactions. The activated phenylsilane allows for CO2 insertion to produce phenylsilyl formate, which undergoes attack by the amine to generate the target product.

-
The invention provides a method for preparing a formamide compound by using MCOF to catalyze CO2 as a carbon source at normal temperature and pressure, and belongs to the technical field of chemistry and chemical engineering. Under the conditions of normal temperature and normal pressure, CO2 is used as a carbon source to realize N-formylation reaction of various amine substrates.

- Functionalizing HY zeolite with sulfonic acid, a micro-meso structure reusable catalyst for organic transformations
-
A new class of sulfonic acid functionalized HY zeolite (HY-N-SA) catalyst has been prepared and characterized by some method such as XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, TGA, NH3-TPD and N2 physisorption. The result shows the micro-meso structure for catalyst without ordering in the mesophase. Then, the HY-N-SA micro-meso structure was used as an acidic catalyst to synthesize of coumarins via Pechmann reaction and facile transformation of amines to formamides under solvent-free condition. To consider the effect of acidity and kind and size of porous on the catalyst activity, this catalyst was compared with NaY-N-SA and MCM-N-SA and pure porous material (NaY and MCM-41). The significant advantages of HY-N-SA with respect to other catalysts are short reaction times, high yields, pure products, mild conditions and easy work-up. In addition, we report an original and environmentally friendly solvent-free procedure which reusability of catalyst makes this method nearly green and environmentally friendly.

- Facile N-Formylation of Amines on Magnetic Fe3O4?CuO Nanocomposites
-
A facile, eco-friendly, efficient, and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst is synthesized by immobilizing copper impregnated on mesoporous magnetic nanoparticles. The surface chemistry analysis of Fe3O4?CuO nanocomposites (NCs) by XRD and XPS demonstrates the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and CuO nanoparticles, providing mass-transfer channels for the catalytic reaction. TEM images clearly indicate the impregnation of CuO onto mesoporous Fe3O4. This hydrothermally synthesized eco-friendly and highly efficient Fe3O4?CuO NCs are applied as a magnetically retrievable heterogeneous catalyst for the N-formylation of wide range of aliphatic, aromatic, polyaromatic and heteroaromatic amines using formic acid as a formylating agent at room temperature. The catalytic activity of the NCs for N-formylation is attributable to the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and CuO nanoparticles. The N-formylated product is further employed for the synthesis of biologically active quinolone moieties.

- Selective: N-formylation/N-methylation of amines and N-formylation of amides and carbamates with carbon dioxide and hydrosilanes: Promotion of the basic counter anions of the zinc catalyst
-
A catalyst composed of commercially available Zn(OAc)2 and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) was effective in the N-formylation/N-methylation of amines using CO2 as the C1 source in the presence of hydrosilanes. An equimolar reaction of N-methylaniline with PhSiH3 under a CO2 atmosphere yielded the N-formylation product in 92% yield at 25 °C. Scale-up of the reaction using 10 mmol substrate was also successful in affording the desired product in 83% yield (1.1 g). This catalyst exhibits a high thermal stability and a turnover number (TON) of 385000 at 150 °C. In addition, the reaction of N-methylaniline in the presence of excess Ph2SiH2 produced N,N-dimethylaniline. Furthermore, our catalytic protocol was developed for the N-formylation of amides and carbamates, which have smaller pKa values and lower reactivities than the corresponding amines. The present Zn(OAc)2/phen catalyst was found to show versatility in the conversion of CO2 and amines into several functionalized organic chemicals under mild conditions. We propose that the basic counter anion (i.e., the acetate) of the catalyst activates both the Si-H and N-H bonds.

- Silver-Catalyzed, N-Formylation of Amines Using Glycol Ethers

A silver-catalyzed protocol was found to afford the N-formylation of amines in moderate-to-good yields. Ethylene glycol-derived, oligomeric ethers were found to function as the formylating agent, with 1,4-dioxane affording the best results. This reaction does not require the use of stoichiometric activating reagents, and avoids the use of explosive reagents or toxic gases, such as CO, as the C1 synthon. Mechanistic studies indicate a single-electron transfer-based pathway. This work highlights the ability of silver to participate in unexpected reaction pathways.

- A NHC-silyliumylidene cation for catalytic N?formylation of amines using carbon dioxide
-
This study describes the use of a silicon(II) complex, namely, the NHC-silyliumylidene cation complex [(IMe)2SiH]I (1, IMe =:C{N(Me)C(Me)}2), to catalyze the chemoselective N-formylation of primary and secondary amines using CO2 and PhSiH3 under mild conditions to afford the corresponding formamides as a sole product (average reaction time: 4.5 h; primary amines, average yield: 95%, average TOF: 8 h?1; secondary amines, average yield: 98%, average TOF: 17 h?1). The activity of 1 and product yields outperform the currently available non-transition-metal catalysts used for this catalysis. Mechanistic studies show that the silicon(II) center in complex 1 catalyzes the C?N bond formation via a different pathway in comparison with non-transition-metal catalysts. It sequentially activates CO2, PhSiH3, and amines, which proceeds via a dihydrogen elimination mechanism, to form formamides, siloxanes, and dihydrogen gas.

- Tetracoordinate borates as catalysts for reductive formylation of amines with carbon dioxide
-
We report sodium trihydroxyaryl borates as the first robust tetracoordinate organoboron catalysts for reductive functionalization of CO2. These catalysts, easily synthesized from condensing boronic acids with metal hydroxides, activate main group element-hydrogen (E-H) bonds efficiently. In contrast to BX3 type boranes, boronic acids and metal-BAr4 salts, under transition metal-free conditions, sodium trihydroxyaryl borates exhibit high reactivity of reductive N-formylation toward a variety of amines (106 examples), including those with functional groups such as ester, olefin, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, halogen, MeS-, ether groups, etc. The over-performance to catalyze formylation of challenging pyridyl amines affords a promising alternative method to the use of traditional formylation reagents. Mechanistic investigation supports electrostatic interactions as the key for Si/B-H activation, enabling alkali metal borates as versatile catalysts for hydroborylation, hydrosilylation, and reductive formylation/methylation of CO2.

- Effective and selective direct aminoformylation of nitroarenes utilizing palladium nanoparticles assisted by fibrous-structured silica nanospheres

Abstract: Palladium nanoparticles (~ 1–3?nm, 0.4?wtpercent Pd) were uniformly distributed over the surface of fibrous silica nanospheres (KCC-1) modified via aminopropyltriethoxysilane using a fast and cost-effective palladium (II) chloride reduction process. The Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) distribution over the ensuing catalyst Pd/KCC-1-NH2 showed much more uniform distribution, and smaller size compared with the tedious hydrothermal reduction method. The morphological, chemical, and size analyses of Pd/KCC-1-NH2 by BET, UV–Vis spectra, XRD, HR-TEM, EDS and XPS analysis revealed that the succeeding material consist of a distinct fibrous silica nanospheres support adorn with Pd NPs. The resultant nanocatalyst was tested for the one-step reductive aminoformylation of aromatic nitro compounds using formic acid. A wide range of substituted nitroarenes including electron withdrawing, releasing, sterically hindered and multifunctional groups have been converted to corresponding aryl formamide in quantitative yields (yields up to 98percent) at moderate temperature (70?°C). Optimization study has proved that the 6 equivalent of formic acid is required and toluene was found to be the better solvent. The established practice is beneficial due to the use of formic acid as H2 source and formylating agent, easiness in handling of the catalyst and simple workup procedure with efficient catalyst reusability.

- Silver-Catalyzed Selective Multicomponent Coupling Reactions of Arynes with Nitriles and Isonitriles

Pathway selective aryne-based novel multicomponent coupling reactions with isonitriles and nitriles are described. Crucial to these reactions is the formation of a silver-aryne complex, which shows differential reactivity toward isonitriles and nitriles to form two different forms of ortho-nitrilium organosilver arene species. Interception of the nitrilium of an aryne-isonitrile adduct with another isonitrile leads to the formation of benzocyclobutene-1,2-diimines, whereas the nitrilium of an aryne-nitrile adduct renders selective formation of 3H-indol-3-imines or 3-iminoindolin-2-ol depending on the structure of the nitrile employed.

- MXene (Ti3C2) Vacancy-Confined Single-Atom Catalyst for Efficient Functionalization of CO2
-
A central topic in single-atom catalysis is building strong interactions between single atoms and the support for stabilization. Herein we report the preparation of stabilized single-atom catalysts via a simultaneous self-reduction stabilization process at room temperature using ultrathin two-dimensional Ti3-xC2TyMXene nanosheets characterized by abundant Ti-deficit vacancy defects and a high reducing capability. The single atoms therein form strong metal-carbon bonds with the Ti3-xC2Ty support and are therefore stabilized onto the sites previously occupied by Ti. Pt-based single-atom catalyst (SAC) Pt1/Ti3-xC2Ty offers a green route to utilizing greenhouse gas CO2, via the formylation of amines, as a C1 source in organic synthesis. DFT calculations reveal that, compared to Pt nanoparticles, the single Pt atoms on Ti3-xC2Ty support feature partial positive charges and atomic dispersion, which helps to significantly decrease the adsorption energy and activation energy of silane, CO2, and aniline, thereby boosting catalytic performance. We believe that these results would open up new opportunities for the fabrication of SACs and the applications of MXenes in organic synthesis.

- Mn-Catalyzed Selective Double and Mono-N-Formylation and N-Methylation of Amines by using CO2
-
Functionalization of amines by using CO2 is of fundamental importance considering the abundance of amines and CO2. In this context, the catalytic formylation and methylation of amines represent convenient and successful protocols for selective CO2 utilization as a C1 building block. This study represents the first example of selective catalytic double N-formylation of aryl amines by using a dinuclear Mn complex in the presence of phenylsilane. This robust system also allows for selective formylation and methylation of amines under a range of conditions.

- Mild and facile synthesis of formamide: Reduction and functionalization of CO2 using NaBH(OAc)3 under atmospheric pressure
-
An approach for N-formylation of amines was developed using NaBH(OAc)3 as a reductant under an atmospheric pressure of CO2 at 50 °C. The corresponding formylated products of various amines, including aliphatic and aromatic amines, amines with reductive-sensitive nitro groups and alkynyl groups and benzamides were obtained in good to excellent yields, and the possible reaction mechanism was also proposed.

- Cobalt nanoparticles anchoring on nitrogen doped carbon with excellent performances for transfer hydrogenation of nitrocompounds to primary amines and N-substituted formamides with formic acid
-
Cobalt nanoparticles anchoring on nitrogen doped carbon derived from pyrolysis of a cobalt complex and chitosan were developed for reduction of nitrocompounds with neat formic acid to their corresponding amines or N-substituted formamides by switch of solvents. Characterization results revealed that most of the nitrogen atoms are present as graphitic N and pyridinic N as anchoring sites, and the cobalt nanoparticles are wrapped by nitrogen doped carbon layers, endowing the catalyst with excellent activity and superior reusability.

- Synthesis and leishmanicidal activity of novel urea, thiourea, and selenourea derivatives of diselenides
-
A novel series of thirty-one N-substituted urea, thiourea, and selenourea derivatives containing diphenyldiselenide entities were synthesized, fully characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods, and screened for their in vitro leishmanicidal activities. The cytotoxic activity of these derivatives was tested against Leishmania infantum axenic amastigotes, and selectivity was assessed in human THP-1 cells. Thirteen of the synthesized compounds showed a significant antileishmanial activity, with 50% effective concentration (EC50) values lower than that for the reference drug miltefosine (EC50, 2.84 M). In addition, the derivatives 9, 11, 42, and 47, with EC50 between 1.1 and 1.95 M, also displayed excellent selectivity (selectivity index ranged from 12.4 to 22.7) and were tested against infected macrophages. Compound 11, a derivative with a cyclohexyl chain, exhibited the highest activity against intracellular amastigotes, with EC50 values similar to those observed for the standard drug edelfosine. Structure-activity relationship analyses revealed that N-aliphatic substitution in urea and selenourea is recommended for the leishmanicidal activity of these analogs. Preliminary studies of the mechanism of action for the hit compounds was carried out by measuring their ability to inhibit trypanothione reductase. Even though the obtained results suggest that this enzyme is not the target for most of these derivatives, their activity comparable to that of the standards and lack of toxicity in THP-1 cells highlight the potential of these compounds to be optimized for leishmaniasis treatment.

- One-pot photocalalytic reductive formylation of nitroarenes via multielectron transfer by carbon nitride in functional eutectic medium
-
In the past years organic semiconductor photocatalysis has made the remarkable advances in developing efficient synthetic chemical routes to well refined structures. Until now, most efforts were focused on optimizing of the semiconductor photocatalyst, while solvents were largely ignored. Herein, we design a series of functional deep eutectic solvents (DES) with adjustable physicochemical properties – density, viscosity, glass transition temperature, and chemical activity towards reductive formylation of nitroarenes. The DES are prepared from abundant, sustainable resources, which makes them an affordable alternative to the ionic liquids, even on larger industrial scales. By combining the ammonium formate-based DES with carbon nitride photocatalyst, we enable the simultaneous six-electron reduction of nitro-compounds to the corresponding N-substituted formamides and benzimidazoles in one pot.

- Catalyst-Free Transamidation of Aromatic Amines with Formamide Derivatives and Tertiary Amides with Aliphatic Amines
-
A simple catalyst- and promoter-free protocol has been developed for the transamidation of weakly nucleophilic aromatic amines with formamide derivatives and low-reactivity tertiary amides with aliphatic amines. This strategy is advantageous because no catalyst or promoters are needed, no additives are required, separation and purification is easy, and the reaction is scalable. Significantly, this strategy was further applied to synthesize several pharmaceutical molecules on a gram scale, and excellent yields were achieved.

- Mesostructure organic-inorganic hybrid ionic liquids based on heteropoly acids: Effect of linkage on the molecular structure and catalytic activity
-
The new inorganic–organic hybrids based on SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) and Keggin-type heteropoly acids (H3PW12O40, H3PMo12O40, and H4SiW12O40; HPAs) are prepared and characterized by FT-IR, NMR, XRD, CV, SEM/EDX, ICP-OES, BJH and UV. Different molecular structures according to the different inorganic part were also proved. Potentiometric titration showed a good relationship between catalytic activity and acidity of the catalysts. Electrochemical aspects showed electron transfer ability of the compounds. For understanding catalytic activities of the HPA-IL hybrids in N-formylation reaction, effect of catalyst composition, substrate, and reaction conditions were studied. The best SO3H-functionalized ionic liquid catalyst was readily recovered and reused for four runs. Easy preparation of the catalyst, simple and easy work-up, mild reaction conditions, low cost, excellent yields and short reaction times are the key features of this work.

- Novel 1,3,4-Selenadiazole-Containing Kidney-Type Glutaminase Inhibitors Showed Improved Cellular Uptake and Antitumor Activity
-
Kidney-type glutaminase [KGA/isoenzyme glutaminase C (GAC)] is becoming an important tumor metabolism target in cancer chemotherapy. Its allosteric inhibitor, CB839, showed early promise in cancer therapeutics but limited efficacy in in vivo cancer models. To improve the in vivo activity, we explored a bioisostere replacement of the sulfur atom in bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,2,4-thiadiazol)ethyl sulfide and CB839 analogues with selenium using a novel synthesis of the selenadiazole moiety from carboxylic acids or nitriles. The resulting selenadiazole compounds showed enhanced KGA inhibition, more potent induction of reactive oxygen species, improved inhibition of cancer cells, and higher cellular and tumor accumulation than the corresponding sulfur-containing molecules. However, both CB839 and its selenium analogues show incomplete inhibition of the tested cancer cells, and a partial reduction in tumor size was observed in both the glutamine-dependent HCT116 and aggressive H22 liver cancer xenograft models. Despite this, tumor tissue damage and prolonged survival were observed in animals treated with the selenium analogue of CB839.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Diarylation of Isocyanides with Tetraarylleads for the Selective Synthesis of Imines and α-Diimines
-
Using tetraaryllead compounds (PbAr4) as arylating reagents, isocyanides undergo selective diarylation in the presence of palladium catalysts such as Pd(OAc)2 or Pd(PPh3)4 to afford imines and/or α-diimines based on the isocyanide employed. With aliphatic isocyanides, imines are obtained preferentially, whereas α-diimines are formed in the case of electron-rich aromatic isocyanides. The differences in imine/α-diimine selectivity can be attributed to the stability of imidoylpalladium intermediates formed in this catalytic reaction. Compared with other arylating reagents, tetraaryllead compounds are excellent candidates for use in the selective transformations to imines and/or α-diimines, especially in terms of inhibiting the oligomerization of isocyanides, which results in a lower product selectivity in many transition-metal-catalyzed reactions of isocyanides.

- Visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of oxime esters and aryl isonitriles: Synthesis of cyclopenta[: B] quinoxalines
-
A visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of aryl isonitriles and cyclobutanone oxime esters for the synthesis of cyclopenta[b]quinoxalines has been accomplished for the first time. The key to the success of this process was the integration of the in situ-formed nitrile radical followed by the cascade radical isonitrile/nitrile insertion-cyclization. The easy introduction of substituents for both substrates and the high functional group tolerance of the reaction make it an efficient strategy to give various quinoxaline derivatives in moderate to good yields.

- Mild Access to N-Formylation of Primary Amines using Ethers as C1 Synthons under Metal-Free Conditions
-
A new synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of N-formamide derivatives using ethers as a C1 synthon under metal-free reaction conditions. The reaction is proposed to proceed through C?H functionalization, C?O cleavage, and C?N bond formation. This protocol is applicable to a variety of primary amines resulting in N-formamides in moderate to good yields. 1,4-dioxane was chosen as best C1 synthon after screening with various ethers. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the reaction proceeds through a radical pathway. While using α-amino ketones a α-alkylation product was formed rather than formylation. By replacing dioxane with Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) under standard conditions also gave the N-formamide derivatives in moderate yields. (Figure presented.).

This novel, highly efficient and simple protocol shows broad substrate scope for aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic amines. In addition, the conditions to prevent N-formylation and N-acylation impurities in the C?N cross coupling of amines and aryl halides are described typically when DMF and DMA are used as solvents, with various catalysts, ligands, and bases.

- Consecutive Lossen rearrangement/transamidation reaction of hydroxamic acids under catalyst- and additive-free conditions
-
The Lossen rearrangement is a classic process for transforming activated hydroxamic acids into isocyanate under basic or thermal conditions. In the current report we disclosed a consecutive Lossen rearrangement/transamidation reaction in which unactivated hydroxamic acids were converted into N-substituted formamides in a one-pot manner under catalyst- and additive-free conditions. One feature of this novel transformation is that the formamide plays triple roles in the reaction by acting as a readily available solvent, a promoter for additive-free Lossen rearrangement, and a source of the formyl group in the final products. Acyl groups other than formyl could also be introduced into the product when changing the solvent to other low molecular weight aliphatic amide derivatives. The solvent-promoted Lossen rearrangement was better understood by DFT calculations, and the intermediacy of isocyanate and amine was supported well by experiments, in which the desired products were obtained in excellent yields under similar conditions. Not only monosubstituted formamides were synthesized from hydroxamic acids, but also N,N-disubstituted formamides were obtained when secondary amines were used as precursors.

- Supported Palladium Nanoparticles Catalyzed Reductive Carbonylation of Nitroarenes to N-Arylformamides
-
A facile reductive carbonylation reaction of nitroarenes to N-arylformamide synthesis was investigated under polymer supported palladium (Pd@PS) nanoparticles catalyzed conditions. Dual role of oxalic acid dihydrate ((CO2H)2 ? 2H2O) as H2 source for hydrogenation and CO source for carbonylation reaction for desired products synthesis was critically investigated under favorable DMF solvent conditions. Several cross experiments were performed to establish the best possible hypothesis for the proposed mechanism and understanding about the involvement of CO in the reaction pathway. Further, ortho-substituted nitroarenes were found to be highly specific for facile para-hydroxylation to give corresponding para-hydroxy N-aryl formamides. (Figure presented.).

The newly discovered gold-catalysed reaction of isocyanides with hydrazoic acid generated in situ from trimethylsilyl azide and methanol (or, alternatively, from NaN3/AcOH) produces either cyanamides or 1-substituted 1H-tetrazol-5-amines, depending on the amount of available HN3. The reaction proceeds selectively and in generally high yields of either product, thus providing a particularly convenient access to a wide range of substituted 1H-tetrazol-5-amines that are rather difficult to access otherwise.
