Abstract
Herein, we present an investigation into the scalability and sustainability of decarboxylative amidation for constructing C(sp3)–N bonds using dioxazolones as the amino source under transition-metal-free and ambient conditions. One of the concerns regarding the sustainability of the previously developed amidation protocol, mainly arising from the use of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), was successfully addressed through reoptimization. Ethyl acetate can now serve as an effective, environmentally friendly alternative reaction medium. We also present the results of a sensitivity study of the newly optimized amidation conditions, examining parameters such as O2 levels, concentrations, water content, and temperatures. The practicability of this stereoretentive decarboxylative amidation has been validated through multigram-scale reactions (5–50 mmol), including optically active carboxylic acids such as (S)-Naproxen.
期刊介绍:
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools,process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
