Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Reductive Amidation without an External Hydrogen Source

Abstract: A catalytic reaction between aldehydes and primary amides that leads to N‐alkylated amides was investigated. The developed protocol employs carbon monoxide as a deoxygenative agent and, therefore, avoids the use of an external hydrogen source. Cyclopentadienyl ruthenium complexes provided excellent catalytic efficiency and could be used with loadings as low as 0.5–1 mol‐%. A representative number of secondary amides were successfully prepared in yields of 70–84 %.

“…The key advantage of this reducing agent is the lack of external hydrogen source, which leads to unique selectivity often surpassing more traditional, hydride‐based reducing agents . Previously, we developed a method for reductive amidation with carbon monoxide as the reducing agent using homogeneous rhodium and ruthenium catalysts . We decided to develop a method of reductive amidation using heterogeneous catalysis which might be more suitable for potential industrial application of this method.…”

“…The first reaction is known as a key reaction for contemporary green chemistry, requiring solutions for minimization of waste production [65]. Several high efficient catalytic systems (on base of Ru [66e68] or Rh [69]) were suggested for the amides formation from alcohols and amines [66,67] or via reductive amidation of aldehydes without an external hydrogen source [68,69]. Recently, an alternative approach, an oxidative amidation of alcohols, was developed.…”

“…Furthermore, from a sustainability point of view, it is highly desirable to develop new methodologies that are capable of utilizing industrial byproducts as components of chemical synthesis. In this regard, we have been interested in the synthetic use of the deoxygenative potential of carbon monoxide, a multimillion-ton byproduct of several major industrial processes (e.g., steel making) . Herein, we report expansion of this paradigm to a new type of chemistry, namely, atom- and step-economical synthesis of esters from aldehydes or ketones and carboxylic acids.…”
