Metal-Free Amidation of Acids with Formamides and T3P

A new, simple and metal-free method for the direct formation of dialkylamides from carboxylic acids employing N,N-dialkylformamides as amine source is described. The one-pot reaction is promoted by propylphosphonic anhydride (T3P) in the presence of 0.5 equivalents of HCl.

A novel method for the conversion of carboxylic acids to N,N-dimethylamides using N,N-dimethylacetamide as a dimethylamine source

A simple, cost effective and environmentally benign method is reported for the preparation of N,N-dimethylamides from carboxylic acids. The versatility of the method is determined by synthesising a large number of N,N-dimethylamide derivatives. Carboxylic acids are heated at 160-165°C in N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent in the presence of1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole to afford the corresponding N,N-dimethylamides in good to excellent yields.

Method for the synthesis of amides and related products from esters or ester-like compounds

A versatile, eco-friendly, and efficient method for the convenient conversion of esters and ester-like compounds into amides, peptides, carbamates, ureas, oxamides, oxamates, hydrazides, oxazolidinones, pyrazolones, oxazolidinediones, barbituric acids, and other molecules containing one or more OCN moieties in the presence of a diol or polyol is disclosed.
