Br?nsted Acid Mediated Nucleophilic Functionalization of Amides through Stable Amide C?N Bond Cleavage; One-Step Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzothiazoles

We have developed a Br?nsted acid mediated synthetic method to directly cleave stable amide C?N bonds by a variety of alcohol and amine nucleophiles. Reverse reactivity was observed and alcoholysis of amides by activated primary and secondary benzylic, and propargylic alcohols have been achieved instead of the expected nucleophilic substitution of alcohols. As an application, 2-substituted benzothiazole derivatives have been synthesized in one pot employing 2-aminothiophenol as nucleophile.

Sodium cyanide-promoted copper-catalysed aerobic oxidative synthesis of esters from aldehydes

A simple and efficient copper-catalysed procedure for oxidative esterification of aldehydes with alcohols and phenols mediated by sodium cyanide, using air as a clean oxidant, is described. A variety of aromatic aldehydes and structurally different alcohols and phenols reacted efficiently, and the product esters were obtained in good to excellent yields under normal atmospheric and solvent-free conditions.

Efficient and selective esterification of aromatic aldehydes with alcohols (1:1) using air as the simplest available oxidant and KCN

A new and efficient method is described for the oxidative esterification of aromatic aldehydes with different types of alcohols such as primary, secondary, benzylic, allylic and cyclic alcohols and phenols using air as the simplest available oxidant and potassium cyanide in DMF under neutral conditions in high yields. The present method esterifies aldehydes with alcohols in 1:1 molar ratio with excellent chemoselectivity and avoids the use of an external oxidant beside 02 from air.
