چکیده

This communication describes the chemoselective metal-free reduction of tertiary amides to the corresponding amines. Hantzsch ester is used as a mild reducing agent for the reduction of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride activated amides providing the tertiary amines with high functional group tolerance.

Chemoselective Reduction of Tertiary Amides under Thermal Control: Formation of either Aldehydes or Amines.

The chemoselective reduction of amides in the presence of other more reactive reducible functional groups is a highly challenging transformation, and successful examples thereof are most valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Only a limited number of systems have demonstrated the chemoselective reduction of amides over ketones. Until now, the aldehyde functionality has not been shown to be co...

Highly Chemoselective Reduction of Amides (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary) to Alcohols using SmI2/Amine/H2O under Mild Conditions

Highly chemoselective direct reduction of primary, secondary, and tertiary amides to alcohols using SmI2/amine/H2O is reported. The reaction proceeds with C-N bond cleavage in the carbinolamine intermediate, shows excellent functional group tolerance, and delivers the alcohol products in very high yields. The expected C-O cleavage products are not formed under the reaction conditions. The obser...

Chemoselective reductive alkynylation of tertiary amides by Ir and Cu(i) bis-metal sequential catalysis.

We report herein a convenient and versatile method for the direct reductive alkynylation of tertiary amides to give propargylic amines through sequential Ir-catalysed hydrosilylation-Cu(i)-catalysed alkynylation. The reactions proceed chemoselectively at the amide group in the presence of several sensitive functional groups including the very reactive aldehyde group on either the amide or the a...

Efficient metal-free hydrosilylation of tertiary, secondary and primary amides to amines.

Hydrosilylation of secondary and tertiary amides to amines is described using catalytic amounts of B(C6F5)3. The organic catalyst enables the reduction of amides with cost-efficient, non-toxic and air stable PMHS and TMDS hydrosilanes. The methodology was successfully extended to the more challenging reduction of primary amides.

Metal-free N-arylation of secondary amides at room temperature.

The arylation of secondary acyclic amides has been achieved with diaryliodonium salts under mild and metal-free conditions. The methodology has a wide scope, allows synthesis of tertiary amides with highly congested aryl moieties, and avoids the regioselectivity problems observed in reactions with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene.
