Selective NaOH-catalysed hydration of aromatic nitriles to amides

The selective synthesis of aromatic and heteroaromatic amides through base-catalysed hydration of nitriles was achieved using inexpensive and commercially available NaOH as the only catalyst. A wide range of nitriles was selectively converted to their corresponding amides. Kinetic studies show that the double hydration of nitriles towards undesirable carboxylic acids is negligible under our reaction conditions.

Synthesis of amidines and benzoxazoles from activated nitriles with Ni(0) catalysts

Amidines and 2-substituted benzoxazoles were synthesized from N-heterocyclic nitriles under mild conditions (50 °C, 48 h, two steps) in an atom-economical process that involves addition of methanol, the solvent, to a nitrile moiety to yield a methyl imidate and the subsequent extrusion of solvent in the presence of amines to afford the title compounds. Methyl imidate formation was achieved by developing a new catalytic pathway using [(dippe)Ni(H)]2 (dippe = 1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane), [Ni(cod)2]/dppe, or [Ni(cod)2]/P(OPh)3 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, P(OPh)3 = triphenyl phosphite) as the catalyst precursor. Regarding the ligands, for a given substrate, namely 4-cyanopyridine, the best performance for the Ni(0)-catalyzed system was found for the σ-donor bidentate dippe, whereas the monodentate π acceptor P(OPh)3 was less efficient. In relation to the substrates, for a given Ni-dippe system, steric hindrance and, more importantly, substrate electron-withdrawing character control imidate formation and thus the yield of amidines and benzoxazoles.

Ball milling of aromatic, heteroaromatic, vinylic, and aliphatic esters with ethanol and calcium nitride afforded the corresponding primary amides in a transformation that was compatible with a variety of functional groups and maintained the integrity of a stereocenter α to carbonyl. This methodology was applied to α-amino esters and N-BOC dipeptide esters and also to the synthesis of rufinamide, an antiepileptic drug.

Nitrogen transfer from cyanide anion to an aldehyde is emerging as a promising method for the synthesis of aromatic nitriles. However, this method still suffers from a disadvantage that a use of stoichiometric Cu(II) or Cu(I) salts is required to enable the reaction. As we report herein, we overcame this drawback and developed a catalytic method for nitrogen transfer from cyanide anion to an alcohol via the complete cleavage of the C≡N triple bond using phen/Cu2O as the catalyst. The present condition allowed a series of benzyl alcohols to be smoothly converted into aromatic nitriles in moderate to high yields. In addition, the present method could be extended to the conversion of cinnamic alcohol to 3-phenylacrylonitrile.
