Iron/Caffeine as a Catalytic System for Microwave‐Promoted Benzamide Formation

Abstract: The amide bond is an essential unit in many drugs and polymers. The catalyzed oxidation of alcohols and amines is an effective method to form amides with limited undesired waste. Herein, we demonstrate the beneficial effect of microwave activation for this reaction. The benzamides were directly formed from alcohols and amine hydrochloride salts in short reaction times with yields up to 84 % and TOFs (turnover frequencies) up to 33.6 h–1. Among the examined transition metals, only nontoxic and inexpensive FeCl2… Show more

“…Steric hindrance had a strong influence on the amidation reaction, since N-tertbutyl benzamide 3d was isolated in only 42% yield. Importantly, the turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) values obtained herein-up to 1540 and 86 h −1 , respectively-outmatched the values reported in the literature, with FeCl2•4H2O in refluxing acetonitrile (TON ≤ 9 and TOF ≤ 2.2 h −1 ) [44], or under microwave irradiation (TON ≤ 16.8 and TOF ≤ 33.6 h −1 ) [45].…”

“…Complex 2 was also evaluated in the formation of amides directly from alcohols and amines, in the presence of tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide as the terminal oxidant. For this purpose, we chose the newly developed metal‐catalyzed microwave‐activated amidation between benzylic alcohol and (±)‐α‐methylbenzylammonium chloride (Scheme ). The use of complex 2 allowed amide 5 to be obtained in a yield of 71 %.…”
