Amide functional groups are prominent in a broad range of organic compounds with diverse beneficial applications. In this work, we report the synthesis of these functional groups via an iron(iii) chloride-catalyzed direct amidation of esters. The reactions are conducted under solvent-free conditions and found to be compatible with a range of amine and ester substrates generating the desired amides in short reaction times and good to excellent yields at a catalyst loading of 15 mol%
酰胺官能团在具有各种有益应用的广泛有机化合物中很突出。在这项工作中,我们报道了通过氯化铁(III)催化的酯的直接酰胺化反应来合成这些官能团。反应在无溶剂条件下进行,并且发现与一系列胺和酯底物兼容,在15 mol%的催化剂负载量下,能在短反应时间内生成所需的酰胺,产率良好至优异。
