A new, transition-metal-free, effective method for aromatic esterification of amides with organoboronic acids has been developed. A wide range of benzoate derivatives were obtained with yields ranging from moderate to good. The catalytic reaction shows a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. Conceptually, DMAP mediates the reaction and is crucial for this transformation.

We report conversion of esters to thioestersviaselective C-O bond cleavage/weak C-S bond formation under transition-metal-free conditions. The method is notable for a general and practical transition-metal-free system, broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. The strategy was successfully deployed in late-stage thioesterification, site-selective cross-coupling/thioesterification/decarbonylation and easy-to-handle gram scale thioesterification. Selectivity and computational studies were performed to gain insight into the formation of weak C-S bonds by C-O bond cleavage, which contrasts with the traditional trend of nucleophilic additions to carboxylic acid derivatives.
Palladium-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Coupling of Amides with Arylboronic Acids by Cooperative Catalysis

, p. 4357 - 4361 (2019/07/09)
The first fluoride and palladium co-catalyzed conversion of amide to ester through an aerobic oxidative coupling pathway is reported. This new approach presents a practical process that employs easily available oxygen and commercially available arylboronic acids as coupling partners, uses a wide range of N- tosylamides, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. This protocol demonstrates broad functional group tolerance, and provides an alternative option to synthesize esters from N-tosylamides which obtained by simply N-functionalization of secondary amides.
