Synthesis of unsymmetrical aroyl acyl imides by aminocarbonylation of aryl bromides
Schnyder, Anita,Indolese, Adriano F.
, p. 594 - 597 (2002)
Aroyl imides were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reaction of aryl bromides with carbon monoxide and primary amides in good yields (58-72%). The reactions were carried out under mild conditions (5 bar, 120 °C) using 1 mol % of a palla

Here, a photocatalytic deoxygenative amidation protocol using readily available amine-boranes and carboxylic acids is described. This approach features mild conditions, moderate-to-good yields, easy scale-up, and up to 62 examples of functionalized amides with diverse substituents. The synthetic robustness of this method was also demonstrated by its application in the late-stage functionalization of several pharmaceutical molecules.
Chemoselective Synthesis of Aryl Ketones from Amides and Grignard Reagents via C(O)-N Bond Cleavage under Catalyst-Free Conditions

Conversion of a wide range of N-Boc amides to aryl ketones was achieved with Grignard reagents via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage. The reactions proceeded under catalyst-free conditions with different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide diaryl propiophenones. N-Boc amides displayed higher reactivity than Weinreb amides with Grignard reagents. A broad substrate scope, excellent yields, and quick conversion are important features of this methodology.

Reports on aerobic oxidation of amines to amides are rare, and those reported suffer from several limitations like poor yield or selectivity and make use of pure oxygen under elevated pressure. Herein, we report a practical and an efficient ruthenium-catalyzed synthetic protocol that enables selective oxidation of a broad range of primary aliphatic, heterocyclic and benzylic amines to their corresponding amides, using readily available reagents and ambient air as the sole oxidant. Secondary amines instead, yield benzamides selectively as the sole product. Mechanistic investigations reveal intermediacy of nitriles, which undergo hydration to afford amide as the final product.
