Amide bonds are stable due to the resonance between the nitrogen lone pair and the carbonyl moiety, and therefore the chemical transformation of amides, especially tertiary amides, involving C-N bond fission is considered one of the most difficult organic reactions, unavoidably requiring harsh reaction conditions and strong acids or bases. We report the catalytic C-N bond cleavage of simple tertiary ,-dialkylamides to give corresponding esters using a catalyst system (2 mol% based on Mn atoms) of a tetranuclear manganese alkoxide, [Mn(acac)(OEt)(EtOH)] (), combined with four equivalents of 4,7-bis(dimethylamino)-1,10-phenanthroline (: MeN-Phen). Regarding the reaction mechanism, we isolated a dinuclear manganese complex, [Mn(acac)(OEt)(Phen)] (), which was revealed as the catalytically active species for the esterification of tertiary amides.
由于氮孤对与羰基部分之间的共振,酰胺键是稳定的,因此涉及C-N键断裂的酰胺,尤其是叔酰胺的化学转化被认为是最困难的有机反应之一,不可避免地需要苛刻的反应条件以及强酸或强碱。我们报道了使用四核锰醇盐Mn(acac)(OEt)(EtOH)与四当量的4,7-双(二甲基氨基)-1,10-菲咯啉(:MeN-Phen)组成的催化剂体系(基于锰原子为2 mol%),将简单的叔α,α-二烷基酰胺进行催化C-N键裂解以得到相应的酯。关于反应机理,我们分离出了双核锰配合物Mn(acac)(OEt)(Phen),它被证明是叔酰胺酯化反应的催化活性物种。
