- Half-Sandwich Iridium Complexes Based on β-Ketoamino Ligands: Preparation, Structure, and Catalytic Activity in Amide Synthesis
-
A series of β-ketoamino-based N,O-chelate half-sandwich iridium complexes with the general formula [Cp*IrClL] have been prepared in good yields. These air-insensitive iridium complexes showed desirable catalytic activity in an amide preparation under mild conditions. A number of amides with diverse substituted groups were furnished in a one-pot reaction with good-to-excellent yields through an amidation reaction of NH2OH·HCl with aldehydes in the presence of these iridium(III) precursors. The excellent catalytic activity, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope gave this type of iridium catalyst potential for use in industry. All of the obtained iridium complexes were well characterized by different spectroscopy techniques. The exact molecular structure of complex 3 has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

- Arene-ruthenium(II)-phosphine complexes: Green catalysts for hydration of nitriles under mild conditions
-
Three new arene-ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by treating [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-arene)}2] (η6-arene = p-cymene) dimer with tri(2-furyl)phosphine (PFu3) and 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), respectively to obtain [RuCl2(η6-arene)PFu3] [Ru]-1, [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)(PTA)]BF4 [Ru]-2 and [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)2]BF4 [Ru]-3. All the complexes were structurally identified using analytical and spectroscopic methods including single-crystal X-ray studies. The effectiveness of resulting complexes as potential homogeneous catalysts for selective hydration of different nitriles into corresponding amides in aqueous medium and air atmosphere was explored. There was a remarkable difference in catalytic activity of the catalysts depending on the nature and number of phosphorus-donor ligands and sites available for catalysis. Experimental studies performed using structural analogues of efficient catalyst concluded a structural-activity relationship for the higher catalytic activity of [Ru]-1, being able to convert huge variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic nitriles. The use of eco-friendly water as a solvent, open atmosphere and avoidance of any organic solvent during the catalytic reactions prove the reported process to be truly green and sustainable.

- Transamidation for the Synthesis of Primary Amides at Room Temperature
-
Various primary amides have been synthesized using the transamidation of various tertiary amides under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. When (NH4)2CO3 reacts with a tertiary amide bearing an N-electron-withdrawing substituent, such as sulfonyl and diacyl, in DMSO at 25 °C, the desired primary amide product is formed in good yield with good funcctional group tolerance. In addition, N-tosylated lactam derivatives afforded their corresponding N-tosylamido alkyl amide products via a ring opening reaction.

- Supported palladium catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides employing bench-stable CO and NH3surrogates
-
A simple, efficient and phosphine free protocol for carbonylative synthesis of primary aromatic amides under polystyrene supported palladium (Pd?PS) nanoparticle (NP) catalyzed conditions has been demonstrated. Herein, instead of using two toxic and difficult to handle gases simultaneously, we have employed the solid, economical, bench stable oxalic acid as the CO source and ammonium carbamate as the NH3source in a single pot reaction. For the first time, we have applied two non-gaseous surrogates simultaneously under heterogeneous catalyst (Pd?PS) conditions for the synthesis of primary amides using an easy to handle double-vial (DV) system. The developed strategy showed a good functional group tolerance towards a wide range of aryl iodides and afforded primary aromatic amides in good yields. The Pd?PS catalyst was easy to separate and can be recycled up to four consecutive runs with small loss in catalytic activity. We have successfully extended the scope of the methodology to the synthesis of isoindole-1,3-diones from 1,2-dihalobenzene, 2-halobenzoates and 2-halobenzoic acid following double and single carbonylative cyclization approaches.

Conversion of a wide range of N-Boc amides to aryl ketones was achieved with Grignard reagents via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage. The reactions proceeded under catalyst-free conditions with different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide diaryl propiophenones. N-Boc amides displayed higher reactivity than Weinreb amides with Grignard reagents. A broad substrate scope, excellent yields, and quick conversion are important features of this methodology.

A simple and efficient hydrogen transfer reaction of aldehydes and hydration of nitriles using nickel oxide nanofibers (NiO NFs) as a heterogeneous catalyst is reported. NiO NFs prepared by electrospinning technique was cubic (confirmed by XRD) with an average diameter of 80 nm (obtained from HR-TEM) and utilized as a nanocatalyst for heterogeneous transfer hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes and hydration of aromatic nitriles. All the reaction products produced with minimum reaction time and maximum yield were confirmed using GC-MS with NIST library. Furthermore, heterogeneity of the catalyst was confirmed with ICP-MS analysis. The as-prepared catalyst was reused for six cycles and was found to be efficient. Hence, the present catalytic synthesis of alcohols and amides may be an economically viable process.

- Metal-Free Thermal Activation of Molecular Oxygen Enabled Direct α-CH2-Oxygenation of Free Amines
-
Direct oxidation of α-CH2 group of free amines is hard to achieve due to the higher reactivity of amine moiety. Therefore, oxidation of amines involves the use of sophisticated metallic reagents/catalyst in the presence or absence of hazardous oxidants under sensitive reaction conditions. A novel method for direct C-H oxygenation of aliphatic amines through a metal-free activation of molecular oxygen has been developed. Both activated and unactivated free amines were oxygenated efficiently to provide a wide variety of amides (primary, secondary) and lactams under operationally simple conditions without the aid of metallic reagents and toxic oxidants. The method has been applied to the synthesis of highly functionalized amide-containing medicinal drugs, such as O-Me-alibendol and -buclosamide.

- Phosphinous Acid-Assisted Hydration of Nitriles: Understanding the Controversial Reactivity of Osmium and Ruthenium Catalysts
-
The synthesis and catalytic behavior of the osmium(II) complexes [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PR2OH)] [R=Me (2 a), Ph (2 b), OMe (2 c), OPh (2 d)] in nitrile hydration reactions is presented. Among them, the best catalytic results were obtained with the phosphinous acid derivative [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PMe2OH)] (2 a), which selectively provided the desired primary amides in excellent yields and short times at 80 °C, employing directly water as solvent, and without the assistance of any basic additive (TOF values up to 200 h?1). The process was successful with aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated organonitriles, and showed a high functional group tolerance. Indeed, complex 2 a represents the most active and versatile osmium-based catalyst for the hydration of nitriles reported so far in the literature. In addition, it exhibits a catalytic performance similar to that of its ruthenium analogue [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PMe2OH)] (4). However, when compared to 4, the osmium complex 2 a turned out to be faster in the hydration of less-reactive aliphatic nitriles, whereas the opposite trend was generally observed with aromatic substrates. DFT calculations suggest that these differences in reactivity are mainly related to the ring strain associated with the key intermediate in the catalytic cycle, that is, a five-membered metallacyclic species generated by intramolecular addition of the hydroxyl group of the phosphinous acid ligand to the metal-coordinated nitrile.

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing amide through nitrile hydrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: adding nitrile, acetaldoxime, water, a water-soluble rhodium complex to a reaction vessel, and cooling to room temperature after reaction of a reaction mixture for several hours at the temperature of 50-80 DEG C; and adding ethyl acetate for extraction so as to obtain an organic layer, and carrying out rotary evaporation to remove a solvent, thus obtaining a target product. Compared with a method for synthesizing amide through nitrile hydrolysis by using oxime as a water source in a transition metal catalysis process, the method has the advantages that a used catalyst is low in loading and does not contain a phosphine ligand seriously polluting environments, synthesis can be performed in air, and nitrogen protection is not needed; and therefore, the method meets the green chemistry requirements and has a wide development prospect.

An efficient and clean protocol was developed for rapid production of primary aromatic amides by aminocarbonylation with NH4HCO3. Without addition of auxiliary base, the use of solid and cheap NH4HCO3 dually as ammonia surrogate and base not only promoted aminocarbonylation over subsequent dehydration and hydrolysis of amides owing to its weak basicity, and it also made the reaction manipulation clean and simplified without the presence of stinky NH3 or organic amines. The Xantphos ligand with relatively intensive π-acceptor character (1J31P–77Se=758 Hz) and wide natural bite angle (βn=111°) was found to be indispensable for the high efficiency of this reaction.

The catalytic hydration of nitriles into amides, in water under neutral conditions, has been studied using a series of arene-ruthenium(ii) complexes containing commercially available chlorophosphines as auxiliary ligands, i.e. compounds [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PR2Cl)] (R = aryl, heteroaryl or alkyl group). In the reaction medium, the coordinated chlorophosphines readily undergo hydrolysis to generate the corresponding phosphinous acids PR2OH, which are well-known "cooperative" ligands for this catalytic transformation. Among the complexes employed, best results were obtained with [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene){P(4-C6H4F)2Cl}]. Performing the catalytic reactions at 40 °C with 2 mol% of this complex, a large variety of organonitriles could be selectively converted into the corresponding primary amides in high yields and relatively short times. The application of [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene){P(4-C6H4F)2Cl}] in the preparation of synthetically useful β-ketoamides is also presented.

In this work, the relationship between cyclophilin A (CypA) and EV71 prompted us to screen a series of small molecular CypA inhibitors which were previously reported by our group. Among them, compounds 1 and 2 were discovered as non-immunosuppressive anti-EV71 agents with an EC50 values of 1.07 ± 0.17 μM and 3.36 ± 0.45 μM in virus assay, respectively, which were desirably for the further study. The subsequent chemical modifications derived a novel class of molecules, among which compound 11 demonstrated the most potent anti-EV71 activity in virus assay (EC50 = 0.37 ± 0.17 μM), and low cytotoxicity (CC50 > 25 μM). The following CypA enzyme inhibition studies indicated that there was not only the enzyme inhibition activity, undoubtedly important, functioning in the antiviral process, but also some unknown mechanisms worked in combination, and the further study is underway in our laboratory. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, compound 11 was probably the most potent small molecular anti-EV71 agent via CypA inhibitory mechanism to date. Consequently, our study provided a new potential small molecule for curing EV71 infection.

Several rhodium(I) complexes, [RhCl(COD)(PR3)], containing potentially cooperative phosphine ligands, have been synthesized and evaluated as catalysts for the selective hydration of organonitriles into amides in water. Among the different phosphines screened, those of general composition P(NR 2)3 led to the best results. In particular, complex [RhCl(COD){P(NMe2)3}] was able to promote the selective hydration of a large range of nitriles in water without the assistance of any additive, showing a particularly high activity with heteroaromatic and heteroaliphatic substrates. Employing this catalyst, the antiepileptic drug rufinamide was synthesized in high yield by hydration of 4-cyano-1-(2,6- difluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole. For this particular transformation, complex [RhCl(COD){P(NMe2)3}] resulted more effective than related ruthenium catalysts.

- TBAI-catalyzed oxidative synthesis of benzamides from acetophenones and carbinols
-
An interesting and convenient procedure for the oxidative transformation of acetophenones and carbinols to primary benzamides has been developed. By using tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, the desired benzamides were isolated in moderate to good yields in aqueous solution. Notably, not only acetophenones but also propiophenones can be applied as substrates as well. Hence, we believe that this new procedure is not just a catalytic version of the iodine-based method. the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Synthesis of primary Amides via Copper-Catalyzed Aerobic Decarboxylative ammoxidation of Phenylacetic Acids and α-Hydroxyphenylacetic acids with Ammonia in water
-
A Cu2O-catalyzed aerobic oxidative decarboxylative ammoxidation to primary benzamides from phenylacetic acids and a-hydroxyphenylacetic acids is developed. A variety of primary benzamides could be prepared smoothly, in good to excellent yields, by means of a one-pot domino protocol combining decarboxylation, dioxygen activation, oxidative C-H bond functionalization, and amidation reactions.

- Rearrangement of aldoximes to amides in water under air atmosphere catalyzed by water-soluble iridium complex [Cp*Ir(H2O) 3][OTf]2
-
In the presence of the water-soluble iridium complex [Cp*Ir(H 2O)3][OTf]2, a variety of aldoximes, including aromatic, aliphatic, conjugated unsaturated and non-conjugated unsaturated, were converted into their corresponding amides in water with good to excellent yields. Further, the one-pot synthesis of amides from aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium carbonate via a tandem condensation-rearrangement reaction in water was also accomplished. Compared with the reported organometallic catalysts for the rearrangement of aldoximes to amides in water, the present catalyst exhibited some advantages such as being phosphorus ligand-free, having low catalyst loading, and operational convenience under air atmosphere.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of primary amides from aldehydes in water
-
The readily available arene-ruthenium(ii) complex [RuCl2(η 6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] (5 mol%) proved to be an efficient catalyst for the direct synthesis of primary amides from aldehydes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NH2OH· HCl) in water at 100 °C. The process, which requires the presence of NaHCO3 to catch the HCl released during the formation of the key aldoxime intermediates, was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic aldehydes, and tolerated several functional groups. A greener approach using commercially available NH 2OH solution (50 wt.% in water) is also presented.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed rearrangement of aldoximes to primary amides in water
-
The rearrangement of aldoximes to primary amides has been studied using the readily available arene-ruthenium(II) complex [RuCl2(η 6-C6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] (5 mol %) as catalyst. Reactions proceeded cleanly in pure water at 100 °C without the assistance of any cocatalyst, affording the desired amides in high yields (70-90%) after short reaction times (1-7 h). The process was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldoximes and tolerated several functional groups. Reaction profiles and experiments using 18O-labeled water indicate that two different mechanisms are implicated in these transformations. In both of them, nitrile intermediates are initially formed by dehydration of the aldoximes. These intermediates are then hydrated to the corresponding amides by the action of a second molecule of aldoxime or water. A kinetic analysis of the rearrangement of benzaldoxime to benzamide is also discussed.

- Chemistry by nanocatalysis: First example of a solid-supported RAPTA complex for organic reactions in aqueous medium
-
A ruthenium-arene-PTA (RAPTA) complex has been supported for the first time on an inorganic solid, that is, silica-coated ferrite nanoparticles. The resulting magnetic material proved to be a general, very efficient and easily reusable catalyst for three synthetically useful organic transformations; selective nitrile hydration, redox isomerization of allylic alcohols, and heteroannulation of (Z)-enynols. The use of low metal concentration, environmentally friendly water as a reaction medium, with no use at all of organic solvent during or after the reactions, and microwaves as an alternative energy source renders the synthetic processes reported herein "truly" green and sustainable.

- Arene-ruthenium(II) complexes containing inexpensive tris(dimethylamino) phosphine: Highly efficient catalysts for the selective hydration of nitriles into amides
-
The catalytic hydration of nitriles into amides, in water under neutral conditions, has been studied using a series of arene-ruthenium(II) derivatives containing the commercially available and inexpensive ligand tris(dimethylamino)phosphine. Among them, best results were obtained with the complex [RuCl2(η6-C6Me6) {P(NMe2)3}], which selectively provided the desired amides in excellent yields and short times (TOF values up to 11 400 h-1). The process was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated organonitriles and showed a high functional group tolerance. The stability of [RuCl2(η6-C 6Me6){P(NMe2)3}] in water was evaluated, observing its progressive decomposition into the less-active dimethylamine-ruthenium(II) complex [RuCl2(η6-C 6Me6)(NHMe2)] by hydrolysis of the coordinated P(NMe2)3 ligand. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the toluene complex [RuCl2(η6-C6H 5Me){P(NMe2)3}] is also included.

Reaction of 1 with one equivalent of the cage-type diphosphane ligand 2,3,5,6,7,8-hexamethyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexaaza-1,4- diphosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (THDP) allowed also the high-yield preparation of the dinuclear derivative [[RuCl2(η3: η3-C10H16)}2(μ-THDP)] (2f). All these new complexes have been analytically and spectroscopically (IR and multinuclear NMR) characterized. In addition, the structure of 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2 f was unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Complexes 2a-f are active catalysts for the selective hydration of nitriles to amides in pure aqueous medium under neutral conditions. The wide scope of this catalytic transformation has been evaluated by using the most active catalysts [RuCl 2(η3: η3-C10H 16)(THPA)] (2e) and [{RuCl2(η3: η3-C10H16)}2(μ-THDP)] (2f). Advantages of using MW versus conventional thermal heating are also discussed.

- Arene-ruthenium(II) complexes containing amino-phosphine ligands as catalysts for nitrile hydration reactions
-
Three different series of novel mononuclear arene-ruthenium(II) complexes containing amino-phosphine ligands, namely, [RuCl2{κ 1(P)-2-Ph2PC6H4CH 2NHR}(η6-arene)], [RuCl2{κ 1(P)-3-Ph2PC6H4CH 2NHR}(η6-arene)], and [RuCl2{κ 1(P)-4-Ph2PC6H4CH 2NHR}(η6-arene)] (arene = C6H6, p-cymene, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me 6; R = iPr, tBu; all combinations), have been synthesized and fully characterized. These readily accessible species are efficient catalysts for the selective hydration of organonitriles into amides under challenging reaction conditions, i.e., pure aqueous medium in the absence of any cocatalyst, being much more active than their corresponding nonfunctionalized triphenylphosphine counterparts [RuCl2(PPh 3)(η6-arene)]. The results obtained in this study indicate that the (amino-phosphine)ruthenium(II) complexes operate through a "bifunctional catalysis" mechanism in which the ruthenium center acts as a Lewis acid, activating the nitrile molecule, and the P-donor ligand acts as a Brnsted base, the pendant amino group generating the real nucleophile of the hydration process, i.e., the OH- group.

- Biotransformation of nitriles using the solvent-tolerant nitrile hydratase from Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009
-
A study has been carried out into the biocatalytic hydration of nitriles using the nitrile hydratase enzyme from Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009. It has been shown that this nitrile hydratase can hydrate aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic nitriles under very mild conditions, in mixtures of pH 7 buffer and a range of organic solvents, often with excellent chemoselectivity. The major determinant of hydration occurring is the degree of steric hindrance around the nitrile moiety and/or size of the substrates.

- Discovering potent small molecule inhibitors of cyclophilin A using de novo drug design approach
-
This work describes an integrated approach of de novo drug design, chemical synthesis, and bioassay for quick identification of a series of novel small molecule cyclophilin A (CypA) inhibitors (1-3). The activities of the two most potent CypA inhibitors (3h and 3i) are 2.59 and 1.52 nM, respectively, which are about 16 and 27 times more potent than that of cyclosporin A. This study clearly demonstrates the power of our de novo drug design strategy and the related program LigBuilder 2.0 in drug discovery.

- Selective ruthenium-catalyzed hydration of nitriles to amides in pure aqueous medium under neutral conditions
-
A study was conducted to demonstrate that water-soluble ruthenium(II) complexes can be used as catalysts for the hydration of nitriles in pure aqueous media and under neutral conditions. The hydration of benzonitrile was investigated as a model reaction and the ruthenium precursor was added to a 0.33M aqueous solution of benzonitrile at 100°C, while the reaction was monitored by gas chromatography. All the complexes checked, were found to be active and selective catalysts in the hydration process, providing benzamide as a specific reaction product. The most relevant results were obtained by using ruthenium complexes, bearing a nitrogen-containing ligand, which led to appropriate production of benzamide. The most effective ruthenium complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the selective hydration of a large number of other nitriles.

The tandem process, which takes place in aqueous media and proceeds in a one-pot manner, involves the initial isomerization of the C=C bond of the allyl unit and subsequent oxidative cleavage of the resulting enamide.
