Zirconium catalyzed amide formation without water scavenging

, (2019/07/31)
A scalable homogeneous metal-catalyzed protocol for direct amidation of carboxylic acids is presented. The use of 2–10?mol% of the commercially available Zr(Cp)2(OTf)2·THF results in high yields of amides at moderate temperature, using an operationally convenient reaction protocol that circumvents the use of water scavenging techniques.
Zirconium-catalyzed direct amide bond formation between carboxylic esters and amines

Development of catalytic amide bond formation reactions from readily available starting materials remains a challenging task for modern organic chemistry. Herein, we report that unactivated carboxylic esters and amines react in the presence of 10 mol % of zirconocene dichloride (Cp2ZrCl2) in toluene at 110 °C to afford amides in very good to excellent conversions. The Zr-catalyzed reaction is amenable for the amidation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic esters with primary and secondary amines. The reaction proceeds with almost complete retention of configuration for chiral esters and chiral amines.

An efficient method has been developed for the direct amidification of carboxylic acids via sulfinylamides preformed in situ by the reaction of pure amines with prop-2- ene-1-sulfinyl chloride. The method can be applied to aliphatic acids, including pivalic acid, aromatic acids, and primary and secondary amines. It is compatible with acids bearing unprotected alcohol, phenol, and ketone moieties and applicable to the synthesis of peptides. It does not induce their a-epimerization.
