A new synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of N-formamide derivatives using ethers as a C1 synthon under metal-free reaction conditions. The reaction is proposed to proceed through C?H functionalization, C?O cleavage, and C?N bond formation. This protocol is applicable to a variety of primary amines resulting in N-formamides in moderate to good yields. 1,4-dioxane was chosen as best C1 synthon after screening with various ethers. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the reaction proceeds through a radical pathway. While using α-amino ketones a α-alkylation product was formed rather than formylation. By replacing dioxane with Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) under standard conditions also gave the N-formamide derivatives in moderate yields. (Figure presented.).

The Lossen rearrangement is a classic process for transforming activated hydroxamic acids into isocyanate under basic or thermal conditions. In the current report we disclosed a consecutive Lossen rearrangement/transamidation reaction in which unactivated hydroxamic acids were converted into N-substituted formamides in a one-pot manner under catalyst- and additive-free conditions. One feature of this novel transformation is that the formamide plays triple roles in the reaction by acting as a readily available solvent, a promoter for additive-free Lossen rearrangement, and a source of the formyl group in the final products. Acyl groups other than formyl could also be introduced into the product when changing the solvent to other low molecular weight aliphatic amide derivatives. The solvent-promoted Lossen rearrangement was better understood by DFT calculations, and the intermediacy of isocyanate and amine was supported well by experiments, in which the desired products were obtained in excellent yields under similar conditions. Not only monosubstituted formamides were synthesized from hydroxamic acids, but also N,N-disubstituted formamides were obtained when secondary amines were used as precursors.

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a formamide compound. The synthetic method comprises the following steps: taking carbamyl imidazole compound as a raw material, preparing the formamide compound in a mixed solution of tetrahydrofuran and water by taking hydroboron as a reducing agent. The catalyst hydroboron used in the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of environment friendliness, stable performance, high conversion rate and the like. Moreover, the initial raw material and used reagents are simple and readily available, the cost is low, and the operation is simple and feasible. Therefore, the route is a route which is low in cost, simple in operation and suitable for industrial production.
