A mild alkaline hydrolysis of N- and N,N-substituted amides and nitriles

Abstract: A mild protocol for the alkaline hydrolysis of secondary and tertiary amides in non-aqueous conditions, by the use of NaOH in methanol/dichloromethane or methanol/dioxane (1:9) at room temperature or under reflux, has been developed and a plausible reaction mechanism is discussed. Primary amides are hydrolyzed much slower than with the classical procedure, while nitriles are converted selectively to primary amides.

“…Using aqueous sodium hydroxide, only non-separable mixtures of compounds were obtained. The same results were obtained using non-aqueous conditions, 14 or using sodium peroxide as a mild hydrolysing agent. 15 On the other hand, we were successful in reducing ketone 8d.…”

“…A plausible mechanistic process was proposed 9,10 based on the well-established observation that hydroxide anions, when poorly solvated, attack the carbonyl groups of the esters or of the amides much more easily than the ordinarily strongly-solvated hydroxyl anions in an aqueous environment.…”

“…In a previous work, we reported the alkaline hydrolysis of esters in non-aqueous reaction medium under very mild conditions, 9 including short reaction times at room temperature, and the use of a low concentration of alkali in MeOH/CH2Cl2 (1:9) as a solvent. We have also developed a mild protocol for the alkaline hydrolysis of secondary and tertiary amides 10 to the corresponding acids and amines, while nitriles are converted to primary amides (Scheme 1).…”
