A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Here we report a facile method for the synthesis of nickel oxide-nickel (NiO@Ni) Mott-Schottky catalyst employing metal-organic framework (MOF) as the precursor. A direct amidation protocol of aldehydes with amines has been optimized under mild conditions using NiO@Ni Mott-Schottky catalyst and it shows far better catalytic activity than the NiO?Ni nanoparticles prepared from simple Ni2+ salt under similar reaction conditions. The heterogeneous catalyst is robust, recyclable and efficient to provide comparable yield to costly ligand-based homogeneous Ni catalysts. The scope of the reaction protocol has been explored with variably substituted substrates. The reaction initiates by homolytic cleavage of peroxide and proceeds through radical mechanism.

An electrosynthesis method for amide bond formation has been developed in an attempt to increase the atom economy for this class of reactions. This "anion pool" method electrochemically generates strong nucleophiles from amine substrates. The amine nucleophiles then react with acid anhydrides to generate amides, and the by-product from this reaction undergoes further chemical transformations to generate pharmaceutically relevant benzoic esters. These one-pot reactions are operationally simple, are performed at room temperature, and avoid rare transition metals and added bases. The amide synthesis is amenable to primary and secondary amines and a variety of anhydrides with yields up to 90% obtained. Atom economy and process mass index (PMI) values calculated for this procedure indicate that this process can be considered greener compared to traditional amide synthesis routes used by industry. Furthermore, this electrochemical approach showed unique selectivity when substrates that contained two inequivalent amine moieties were examined.
