Ultrasound-assisted catalytic synthesis of acyclic imides in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid under solvent-free conditions

, p. 415 - 421 (2012)
A rapid and convenient preparation of acyclic imides by the reaction of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles with acyclic carboxylic anhydride in the presence of catalytic amounts of p-toluenesulfonic acid under thermal or ultrasonic conditions is reported. The advantages of this procedure are moderate reaction times, good to excellent yields, and use of an inexpensive and ecofriendly catalyst. The reaction of nitriles with aliphatic anhydrides proceeds under thermal conditions, while they are accelerated by the use of ultrasound irradiation.
Replacement of BF4- by PF6- makes Selectfluor greener

A combination of F-TEDA-PF6 and CuBr (0.1 equiv.) provides a potent oxidant that readily oxidizes amides to provide imides at room temperature. Replacement of BF4-, the anion of Selectfluor (F-TEDA-BF4), by PF6-, dramatically reduces CuBr loading in this oxidative reaction. A possible rationale for this dramatic counterion effect is provided.
Copper mediated oxidation of amides to imides by Selectfluor
Jin, Zhuang,Xu, Bo,Hammond, Gerald B.
, p. 1956 - 1959 (2011/04/25)
The combination of Selectfluor and copper(I) bromide has shown a strong oxidation ability, readily oxidizing amides into the corresponding imides in acetonitrile at room temperature in less than 1 h. This transformation under mild conditions gives good to excellent chemical yields. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed.
