Guo, Yu; Wang, Ruo-Ya; Kang, Jia-Xin; Ma, Yan-Na; Xu, Cong-Qiao; Li, Jun; Chen, Xuenian published the artcile< Efficient synthesis of primary and secondary amides via reacting esters with alkali metal amidoboranes>, Formula: C7H7NO2, the main research area is primary secondary amide preparation chemoselective; ester sodium amidoborane amidation.
Authors report here a facile synthesis method of primary and secondary amides through a direct amidation of esters with sodium amidoboranes (NaNHRBH3, R = H, Me), at room temperature without using catalysts and other reagents. This process is rapid and chemoselective, and features quant. conversion and wide applicability for esters tolerating different functional groups. The exptl. and theor. studies reveal a reaction mechanism with nucleophilic addition followed by a swift proton transfer-induced elimination reaction.
