This manuscript describes a visible-light-promoted, Ir-catalyzed, aerobic protocol for amide synthesis from tertiary amines and carboxylic acids. The reaction likely proceeds through α-C-H oxidation of the tertiary amine, followed by C-N bond cleavage via hydrolysis to the secondary amine intermediate. Concurrently, the additive CFSONa reacts to activate the carboxylic acid via an acyl fluoride intermediate, which in turn reacts with the secondary amine to yield the product amides. The established conditions tolerate a wide variety of carboxylic acid substrates, including complex carboxylic acids. Furthermore, previously unreactive amine substrates such as -methyl morpholine and tri--butyl amine are shown to react readily.
本手稿描述了一种可见光促进、铱催化的由叔胺和羧酸合成酰胺的需氧方法。该反应可能通过叔胺的α-C-H氧化进行,随后通过水解使C-N键断裂生成仲胺中间体。同时,添加剂CFSONa通过酰氟中间体反应活化羧酸,该中间体进而与仲胺反应生成产物酰胺。所建立的条件能耐受多种羧酸底物,包括复杂的羧酸。此外,以前不反应的胺底物如N-甲基吗啉和三正丁胺也能很容易地发生反应。
