Conversion of Aliphatic Amides into Amines with benzene. 2. Kinetics and Mechanism

The reagent benzene (PIFA), used to prepare amines from amides as described in the preceding paper, dissolves in 50:50 (v/v) aqueous acetonitrile to give an acidic solution.This behavior can be explained quantitatively by the dimerization of PIFA in solution under preparatively significant conditions; the dimer, μ-oxo-I,I'-bis(trifluoroacetato-O)-I,I'-diphenyldiiodine(III), 2, can be isolated from the reaction mixture above pH 3.The rate of hexanamide rearrangement by PIFA was studied as a function of PIFA concentration and shown to display asymtotic behavior.The rate is depressed by added trifluoroacetate and accelerated by increasing pH, but not in a simple way.These observations can be accounted for by a mechanism (eq 13-15) in which the dimer 2 complexes with the amide, releasing acid.It is this released acid that accounts for most of the kinetically significant observations.The rearrangement of the amide-dimer complex is the rate-limiting step.Other kinetically indistinguishable mechanism are also possible.The rate of rearrangement promoted by dimer alone is in agreement with that predicted by the proposed mechanism.The imidic acid (enol) form of the amide is considered as a possible kinetically active form of the amide but is rejected on kinetic grounds.

Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.

An efficient protocol for heterogeneous hydroaminocarbonylation of olefins with ammonium chloride without addition of acid additive has been developed for the first time. We successfully synthesized the Pd@POPs-PPh3 catalyst through a solvothermal synthetic method. Under this heterogeneous catalytic system, C2-C6 olefins displayed good yields and TON, and a yield of 66% of propionamide and TON = 1400 were obtained under mild reaction conditions (403 K, Pethylene = 0.5 MPa, PCO = 2.5 MPa), which is a little higher than those in the homogeneous system. This catalytic system has the advantage of easy separation of product and catalyst, as well as good stability. Uniform dispersion of Pd active sites, strong coordination bond between P and Pd, high surface area, large pore volume and hierarchical porosity of Pd@POPs-PPh3 were confirmed by a series of characterizations, which is believed to be the keys for the good activity and stability of hydroaminocarbonylation reaction.
Direct synthesis of amides from nonactivated carboxylic acids using urea as nitrogen source and Mg(NO3)2or imidazole as catalysts

A new method for the direct synthesis of primary and secondary amides from carboxylic acids is described using Mg(NO3)2·6H2O or imidazole as a low-cost and readily available catalyst, and urea as a stable, and easy to manipulate nitrogen source. This methodology is particularly useful for the direct synthesis of primary and methyl amides avoiding the use of ammonia and methylamine gas which can be tedious to manipulate. Furthermore, the transformation does not require the employment of coupling or activating agents which are commonly required.
