Amide Reactions

Amide reactions involve the chemical transformation of amides, which are compounds containing a carbonyl group bonded to an amine group. These reactions can include hydrolysis, reduction, and substitution, and are important in organic synthesis for creating a wide range of compounds. Amide reactions are widely studied and utilized in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and materials chemistry.

    315 40.1. 1.4.3 Synthesis of Amines by Rearrangement (Update 2020) C. I. Ochoa and U. K. Tambar General Introduction The synthesis of amines is one of the most important areas of research in organic chemis-try due to the prevalence of nitrogen atoms in many functional molecules, including nat-ural products, pharmaceutical drugs, and agrochemicals. The synthesis of amines through rearrangement reactions has been heavily researched and discussed over the past few decades. One of the most comprehensive reviews of this topic was included in Science of Synthesis (Section 40.1.1.4). The chapter was arranged in two sections: rearrange-ments from carbon to nitrogen, and rearrangements from nitrogen to carbon. In this ex-tension of the original chapter, the same organization is preserved for consistency and ease of cross-referencing between the two chapters. The purpose of this chapter is to pro-vide an up-to-date account of new methods and synthetic developments in amine re-arrangement reactions within the last decade. Over this period of time, new chemistry has been developed which was not discussed in any particular section in the original ac-count on this topic. Thus, this chapter will not only serve as a supplementary document to the previous volume. It will also be a source of new synthetic strategies not discussed previously. It should be noted that although this section of Science of Synthesis is focused on the formation of alkyl-and cycloalkylamines, some examples shown in this chapter give products that are not part of these two categories; examples that give products such as anilines, amides, and ureas, have also been included to highlight both the broad scope and the power of the rearrangement reactions discussed. Every effort has been made to make this an in-depth review; however, there may be publications that have been inten-tionally or unintentionally omitted. 40.1. 1.4.3.1 Rearrangements from Nitrogen to Carbon 40.1.

    CHAPTER 17 Catalytic Amide Bond Forming Methods BENJAMIN N. ATKINSON, A. ROSIE CHHATWAL AND JONATHAN M. J. WILLIAMS* Department of Chemistry, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY, UK *Email: [email protected] 17.1 Amidation of Carboxylic Acids The formation of amide bonds from carboxylic acids and amines is a widely investigated and documented process. 1,2 It is synthetically the most direct route to forming amide bonds with the sole by-product being water and is therefore of great interest. This transformation often requires the use of coupling agents to activate the carboxylic acid to nucleophilic attack. A wide range of coupling agents are typically employed in the pharmaceutical industry and the most commonly used and effective include CDI, HBTU, HATU, COMU, TBTU and T 3 P. While this method has its advantages within industrial processes, there have been significant developments generating more atom efficient, cheaper and cleaner methods of performing this reaction and this chapter will focus on these. While these methods are still developing, a key desire in industry is a highly effective catalytic amide coupling reaction and this chapter will examine the current state of the art. Several metal and non-metal catalysts have shown potential in catalysing this transformation. These catalysts aim to address some of the issues associated with the coupling agents that are currently used; however, their use does lead to some alternative issues.

Amidines where R, R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 , are H, alkyl, aryl, or heterocyclic groups. Amidines where the two nitrogen atoms are part of a heterocyclic ring system are not described in this chapter. The unsubstituted amidines are basic and react with acids to form crystalline hydrochlorides, sulfates, sulfonates, acetates, nitrates, carbonates, etc.
