The crystal structure of the title compound, C8H9NO3, features centrosymmetric dimers with two amide groups inter-connected by a pair of almost linear N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Through inter-molecular O-H⋯O inter-actions between phenolic hy-droxy groups and carbonyl O atoms, these dimers are assembled into undulating hydrogen-bonded layers parallel to the [101] plane. Additionally, the anti-H(-N) a...

Vicinal aminoalcohols are widespread structural motifs in bioactive molecules. We report the development of a new dioxazolone reagent containing p-nitrophenyldifluoromethyl group, which 1. displays good safety profile; 2. shows remarkably high reactivity oxime-directed iridium(III)-catalyzed amidation unactivated C(sp3)−H bonds; 3. leads to amide products can be hydrolyzed under mild conditions...

Encapsulation of a cationic carbodiimide condensing agent within a self-assembled hexameric capsule made of resorcin[4]arene units provides a nano-environment that efficiently steers the substrate selectivity in the amide synthesis reaction between carboxylic acids and primary amines. While in solution pairs of acids react similarly with a given amine, in the presence of the capsule the formati...

Amide bond-forming reactions are of tremendous significance in synthetic chemistry. Methodological research has, in the past, focused on efficiency and selectivity, and these have reached impressive levels. However, the unacceptable amounts of waste produced have led the ACS GCI Roundtable to label 'amide bond formation avoiding poor atom economy' as the most pressing target for sustainable syn...

A long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry is the development of the transamidation reaction. This process, which involves the conversion of one amide to another, is typically plagued by unfavourable kinetic and thermodynamic factors. Although some advances have been made with regard to the transamidation of primary amide substrates, secondary amide transamidation has remained elusive. He...

Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), also referred to as oleamide hydrolase and anandamide amidohydrolase, is a serine hydrolase responsible for the degradation of endogenous oleamide and anandamide, fatty acid amides that function as chemical messengers. FAAH hydrolyzes a range of fatty acid amides, and the present study examines the relative rates of hydrolysis of a variety of natural and unnat...

Tripodal pyrrole imine and amide ligands provide platforms for combined primary and secondary coordination sphere interactions in square planar Pd and Cu, and octahedral Ti complexes.

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyzes the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. Class I RNRs are composed of two homodimeric proteins, alpha2 and beta2. The class Ia E. coli beta2 contains dinuclear, antiferromagnetically coupled iron centers and one tyrosyl free radical, Y122*/beta2. Y122* acts as a radical initiator in catalysis. Redox-linked conformational changes may acco...

nano silica-h2so4 is an efficient and mild catalysis system for the regeneration of aldehyde from aldoximes. ketoximes are converted to amides by beckmann rearrangement in the presence of nano silica-h2so4. the reactions are carried out in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation (600 w) within 50-120 sec in good yields.
