  • non classical amide bond formation Transamidation and amidation of activated amides and esters by selective n c o c cleavage
    Synthesis, 2020
    Co-Authors: Guangchen Li, Michal Szostak
    Abstract:

    In the past several years, tremendous advances have been made in non-classical routes for amide bond formation that involve Transamidation and amidation reactions of activated amides and esters. These new methods enable the formation of extremely valuable amide bonds via transition-metal-catalyzed, transition-metal-free, or metal-free pathways by exploiting chemoselective acyl C–X (X = N, O) cleavage under mild conditions. In a broadest sense, these reactions overcome the formidable challenge of activating C–N/C–O bonds of amides or esters by rationally tackling nN → π*C=O delocalization in amides and nO → π*C=O donation in esters. In this account, we summarize the recent remarkable advances in the development of new methods for the synthesis of amides with a focus on (1) transition-metal/NHC-catalyzed C–N/C–O bond activation, (2) transition-metal-free highly selective cleavage of C–N/C–O bonds, (3) the development of new acyl-transfer reagents, and (4) other emerging methods. 1 Introduction 2 Transamidation of Amides 2.1 Transamidation by Metal–NHC Catalysis (Pd–NHC, Ni–NHC) 2.2 Transition-Metal-Free Transamidation via Tetrahedral Intermediates 2.3 Reductive Transamidation 2.4 New Acyl-Transfer Reagents 2.5 Tandem Transamidations 3 Amidation of Esters 3.1 Amidation of Esters by Metal–NHC Catalysis (Pd–NHC, Ni–NHC) 3.2 Transition-Metal-Free Amidation of Esters via Tetrahedral Intermediates 3.3 Reductive Amidation of Esters 4 Transamidations of Amides by Other Mechanisms 5 Conclusions and Outlook

  • buchwald hartwig cross coupling of amides Transamidation by selective n c o cleavage mediated by air and moisture stable pd nhc allyl cl precatalysts catalyst evaluation and mechanism
    Catalysis Science & Technology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Guangchen Li, Tongliang Zhou, Albert Poater, Luigi Cavallo, Steven P Nolan, Michal Szostak
    Abstract:

    The Pd–NHC-catalyzed acyl-type Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling of amides by N–C(O) cleavage (Transamidation) provides a valuable alternative to the classical methods for amide synthesis. Herein, we report a combined experimental and computational study of the Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling of amides using well-defined, air- and moisture-stable [Pd(NHC)(allyl)Cl] precatalysts. Most crucially, we present a comprehensive evaluation of a series of distinct Pd(II)–NHC precatalysts featuring different NHC scaffolds and throw-away ligands for the synthesis of functionalized amides that are not compatible with stoichiometric transition-metal-free Transamidation methods. Furthermore, we present evaluation of the catalytic cycle by DFT methods for a series of different Pd(II)–NHC precatalysts. The viability of accessing NHC-supported acyl-palladium(II) amido complexes will have implications for the design and development of cross-coupling methods involving stable amide electrophiles.

  • metal free Transamidation of secondary amides by n c cleavage
    Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019
    Co-Authors: Md Mahbubur Rahman, Guangchen Li, Michal Szostak
    Abstract:

    Transamidation reactions represent a fundamental chemical process involving conversion of one amide functional group into another. Herein, we report a facile, highly chemoselective method for Transamidation of N-tert-butoxycarbonylation (N-Boc) activated secondary amides that proceeds under exceedingly mild conditions in the absence of any additives. Because this reaction is performed in the absence of metals, oxidants, or reductants, the reaction tolerates a large number of useful functionalities. The reaction is compatible with diverse amides and nucleophilic amines, affording the Transamidation products in excellent yields through direct nucleophilic addition to the amide bond. The utility of this methodology is highlighted in the synthesis of Tigan, a commercial antiemetic, directly from the amide bond. We expect that this new metal-free Transamidation will have broad implications for the development of new transformations involving direct nucleophilic addition to the amide bond as a key step.

  • highly chemoselective transition metal free Transamidation of unactivated amides and direct amidation of alkyl esters by n c o c cleavage
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
    Co-Authors: Guangchen Li, Michal Szostak, Chonglei Ji, Xin Hong
    Abstract:

    The amide bond is one of the most fundamental functional groups in chemistry and biology and plays a central role in numerous processes harnessed to streamline the synthesis of key pharmaceutical and industrial molecules. Although the synthesis of amides is one of the most frequently performed reactions by academic and industrial scientists, the direct Transamidation of tertiary amides is challenging due to unfavorable kinetic and thermodynamic contributions of the process. Herein, we report the first general, mild, and highly chemoselective method for Transamidation of unactivated tertiary amides by a direct acyl N–C bond cleavage with non-nucleophilic amines. This operationally simple method is performed in the absence of transition metals and operates under unusually mild reaction conditions. In this context, we further describe the direct amidation of abundant alkyl esters to afford amide bonds with exquisite selectivity by acyl C–O bond cleavage. The utility of this process is showcased by a broad sc...
