An esterification and amination of benzylic C-H bonds was developed by using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) under metal- and iodide-free conditions. Both carboxylic acids and amines could be used as ideal coupling partners for the oxidati

Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium perfluorooctanesulfonate is an air-stable and water-tolerant Lewis acid. This complex exhibited good thermal stability and high solubility in polar organic solvents. The compound showed relatively strong acidity, with an acid strength of 0.8Ho≤3.3, and high catalytic efficiency for the synthesis of N-substituted amides via the reaction of carboxylic acids with amines, the Ritter reaction of nitriles with alcohols, and the amination of alcohols with amides. Moreover, the complex had good reusability. This catalytic system affords a simple and efficient way to synthesize N-substituted amides.

Using only catalytic amounts of alkyl halides in the reactions of poor nucleophilic amines/amides and alcohols led to a selective Hofmann N-alkylation reaction catalytic in alkyl halides, providing a practical and efficient method for the practical synthesis of mono- or di-alkylated amines/amides in high selectivities. This new method avoids the use of large amounts of bases, alkyl halides, and solvents, and generates water as the only byproduct. Preliminary mechanistic studies showed that alkyl halides are key intermediates/catalysts regeneratable in the reaction cycle.
