The synthesis of amides from thiols through a cobalt-catalyzed aminocarbonylation is shown. After optimizing all the reaction parameters, the methodology makes possible the obtention of amides with variable yields, while competing reactions such as the formation of disulfides and ureas can be limited. The process works well with aromatic thiols with electron donating groups (EDG) whereas other thiols give reaction with lower yields. The previous process has been transferred and optimized into flow equipment, thus allowing using less CO in a safer way, and permitting the scaling up of the synthesis. Two drugs, moclobemide and itopride were prepared with this methodology, albeit only in the second case with good results. A mechanistic pathway is proposed.

We report the facile amide-forming ligation of acylsilanes with hydroxylamines (ASHA ligation) under aqueous conditions. The ligation is fast, chemoselective, mild, high-yielding and displays excellent functional-group tolerance. Late-stage modifications of an array of marketed drugs, peptides, natural products, and biologically active compounds showcase the robustness and functional-group tolerance of the reaction. The key to the success of the reaction could be the possible formation of the strong Si?O bond via a Brook-type rearrangement. Given its simplicity and efficiency, this ligation has the potential to unfold new applications in the areas of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
Visible Light-Driven Efficient Synthesis of Amides from Alcohols using Cu?N?TiO2 Heterogeneous Photocatalyst

Amides were synthesized from alcohols and amines in high yields using an in situ generated active ester of N-hydroxyimide with our developed Cu?N?TiO2 catalyst at room temperature using oxygen as a sole oxidant under visible light. The catalyst can be easily prepared, robust, and recycled four times without a considerable change in catalytic activity. This developed protocol applies to a wide substrate scope and has good functional group tolerance. The application of this amidation reaction has been successfully demonstrated for the synthesis of moclobemide, an antidepressant drug, and an analog of the itopride drug on a gram scale.
