Two protocols for the transamidation of primary amides with primary and secondary amines, forming secondary and tertiary amides, respectively, are described. Both processes employ N,N-dialkylformamide dimethyl acetals for primary amide activation, producing N-acyl-N,N-dialkylformamidines as intermediates, as widely documented in the literature. Although the latter intermediates react irreversibly with amines by amidinyl transfer, we show that in the presence of certain Lewis acid additives efficient acyl transfer occurs, providing new and useful methods for amide exchange. In one protocol for transamidation, the N-acyl-N,N-dialkylformamidine intermediates are purified by flash-column chromatography and the purified intermediates are then treated with an amine (typically, 2.5 equiv) in the presence of scandium triflate (10 mol %) in ether to form in high yields the products of transamidation. In a second procedure, N-acyl-N,N-dialkylformamidines are generated in situ and, without isolation, are subjected to transamidation in the presence of zirconium chloride (0.5 equiv) and an amine (typically 2 equiv). A variety of different primary amides and amines are found to undergo efficient transamidation using the methods described.

A catalytic amidation protocol mediated by 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol has been developed, facilitating the condensation of unactivated esters and amines, furnishing both secondary and tertiary amides. The complete scope and limitations of the method are described, along with modified conditions for challenging substrates such as acyclic secondary amines and chiral esters with retention of chiral integrity.
Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Hydroxy Amides and β-Amino Alcohols from α-Keto Amides

Synthesis of enantiomerically enriched α-hydroxy amides and β-amino alcohols has been accomplished by enantioselective reduction of α-keto amides with hydrosilanes. A series of α-keto amides were reduced in the presence of chiral CuII/(S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyst to give the corresponding optically active α-hydroxy amides with excellent enantioselectivities by using (EtO)3SiH as a reducing agent. Furthermore, a one-pot complete reduction of both ketone and amide groups of α-keto amides has been achieved using the same chiral copper catalyst followed by tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) catalyst in presence of (EtO)3SiH to afford the corresponding chiral β-amino alcohol derivatives.
