Complex CpRuCl(PPh3)2 catalyzes reactions of terminal alkynes with 4-picoline N-oxide and primary and secondary amines to afford the corresponding amides. The reactions occur in chlorinated solvent and aqueous medium, showing applications in peptide chemistry. Stoichiometric studies reveal that the true catalysts of the processes are the vinylidene cations [CpRu(=C=CHR)(PPh3)2]+ which are oxidized to the Ru(η2-CO)-ketenes by the N-oxide. Finally, nucleophilic additions of primary and secondary amines to the free ketenes yield the corresponding amides.

An efficient amidation method between readily available 1,1-dicyanoalkanes and either chiral or nonchiral amines was realized simply with molecular oxygen and a carbonate base. This oxidative protocol can be applied to both sterically and electronically challenging substrates in a highly chemoselective, practical, and rapid manner. The use of cyclopropyl and thioether substrates support the radical formation of α-peroxy malononitrile species, which can cyclize to dioxiranes that can monooxygenate malononitrile α-carbanions to afford activated acyl cyanides capable of reacting with amine nucleophiles.

Umpolung Amide Synthesis (UmAS) provides direct access to amides from an α-bromo nitroalkane and an amine. Based on its mechanistic bifurcation after convergent C-N bond formation, depending on the absence or presence of oxygen, UmAS using substoichiometric N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) under aerobic conditions has been developed. In combination with the enantioselective preparation of α-bromo nitroalkane donors, this protocol realizes the goal of enantioselective α-amino amide and peptide synthesis based solely on catalytic methods.
