A green and efficient one-pot three component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin or 1,3-dimethylbarbutyric acid, aryl glyoxals and amides (thioacetamide) has been developed in the presence of BF3- SiO2 nanoparticles in water. This method has several advantages such as high to excellent product yields in short reaction time, atom economy, environment friendly, reusable catalyst and no need for chroma...

The alkaline-earth element bis(trimethylsilyl)amides, [Ae{N(SiMe3 )2 }2 (thf)2 ] [Ae=Mg, Ca, Sr], are effective precatalysts for boron-nitrogen bond formation through the desilacoupling of amines, RR'NH (R=alkyl, aryl; R'=H, alkyl, aryl), and pinBSiMe2 Ph. This reactivity also yields a stoichiometric quantity of Me2 PhSiH and provides the first example of a catalytic main-group element-element ...

The synthesis of aryl amides via the reactions of carboxylic acids and isocyanides in methanol was carried out in 78-95% yields under ultrasound irradiation. The method has wide applicability, and the protocol is mild, fast and efficient compared to the existing methods based on silent conditions.

Chapter 1. Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl halides with aryl-, heteroaryl and vinyl boronic acids proceed in very good to excellent yield with the use of 2-(2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl)dicyclohexylphosphine, SPhos. Additionally, a comparison of the reactions with SPhos and with 2(2',4',6'-triisoprocpylbiphenyl)-diphenylphosphine is presented that is informative in determini...

We report the efficient N-arylation of acyclic secondary amides and related nucleophiles with aryl nonaflates, triflates, and chlorides. This method allows for easy variation of the aromatic component in tertiary aryl amides. A new biaryl phosphine with P-bound 3,5-(bis)trifluoromethylphenyl groups was found to be uniquely effective for this amidation. The critical aspects of the ligand were ex...

Treatment of various aliphatic and aromatic aldoximes with the hypervalent iodine(iii) reagents (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DIB) or Koser's reagent [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB) gave, respectively, N-acetoxy or N-hydroxy amides in good yields rather than the expected nitrile oxide dimerised product oxadiazole-N-oxides reported to be formed with other oxidising and hypervalent iodine reagent...

Recall that nitrogen has five valence electrons and therefore requires three electrons or bonds to complete its octet (see Amine Tutorial). Based on this valence and bonding order, nitrogen forms three bonds in its neutral state and maintains one pair of non-bonded electrons (NBEs). In amides one of the three bonds is a carbonyl carbon. Thus amides may be viewed as "acylated amines" or as deriv...

Amide is a derivative of carboxylic acids with a general formula of RCONH2, where R is hydrogen or an alkyl or an aryl radical. The amides are abundant in life, as proteins play a vital role in almost all biological processes. They present in many pharmaceutical substances. An in-depth analysis of the Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry database reveals that the carboxamide group appears in more ...

Based on simple ideas of electron-rich alkenes, exemplified by tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethene, TDAE, and on additional driving force associated with aromatization, families of very powerful neutral organic super-electron-donors (SEDs) have been developed. In the ground state, they carry out metal-free reductions of a range of functional groups. Iodoarenes are reduced either to aryl radicals or, ...
