Practical preparation of challenging amides from non-nucleophilic amines and esters under flow conditions

Abstract: A fast and efficient protocol for the formation of amides from low nucleophilic amines and esters in flow is described. Products were obtained in good to excellent yields and with the advantage of simultaneous mixing of all reagents at once, avoiding steps for intermediate formation. The protocol is also suitable to be combined with ester synthesis, resulting in the preparation of amides in-line from haloarenes.

“…A particularly important conversion is the transformation of esters into amides34, which are key components of peptides and proteins, as well as privileged molecules in medicinal chemistry5, as exemplified in some top-selling drugs such as Harvoni, Januiva, Glivec and Symbicort6. Direct amidation of esters with amines typically requires stoichiometric amounts of promoters or metal mediators78910 (Fig. 1a).…”

“…2-Methyl-substituted oxazole ester 14 was prepared by a convenient one-pot procedure based on the work of Benoit and co-workers. [19] Unfortunately, in this investigation, the latter protocol could not be used to couple esters 14 and 18 with amines due to dominant side reactions resulting from the acidic nature of the 5-oxazole proton. [18] Extension of the latter method allows the incorporation of a wide variety of aromatic and conjugated aldehydes into 2,4-disubstituted oxazoles that are otherwise not readily accessible or require a multistep synthesis.…”

“…Previously, we developed a base-mediated protocol to prepare challenging amides from non-nucleophilic amines and esters under flow conditions. [19] Unfortunately, in this investigation, the latter protocol could not be used to couple esters 14 and 18 with amines due to dominant side reactions resulting from the acidic nature of the 5-oxazole proton. [20] With the oxazole building blocks and derived acyl chlorides 16 and 20 in hand, we turned our attention to the synthesis of tertiary pyridinamide cyclisation precursors 23a-f, 26a,b, 29a,b, 32a,b (Schemes 3 and 4).…”

“…Thea nalogous base-promoted amidation [17] was also feasible using either LiOMe or NaOMe as base in aM eOH/ PhCH 3 mixed solvent system. Theoptimized flow process led to both shorter residence time and milder temperature compared to the acid-mediated method (Scheme 6).…”
