Methanolysis of amides under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions with a continuous tubular reactor

The methanolysis of amides,which is widely employed in the synthetic organic chemistry,hardly occurs under mild conditions.To safely and controllably intensify the methanolysis reaction with hightemperature and high-pressure environment,a continuous tubular reaction technology is developed,whose space-time yield is over twice of that of the conventional batch reaction.The methanolysis of acetanilide is selected as the representative reaction,and the influences of temperature,pressure,reactant and catalyst concentration,and residence time on the reaction performances are systematically investigated.Taking the advantages of precise temperature and reaction time control by the tubular reactor,the kinetics of acetanilide methanolysis are determined and compared to the kinetics of acetanilide hydrolysis reaction.The tubular reaction method is also employed to test a variety of other amides to show the effects of substituents,steric hindrance,and alkalinity on the reaction rate of methanolysis.

Developing mild and efficient catalytic methods for the selective synthesis of amines is a longstanding research objective.In this respect,catalytic deoxygenative amide reduction has proven to be promising but challenging,as this approach necessitates selective C-O bond cleavage.Herein,we report the selective hydroboration of primary,secondary,and tertiary amides at room temperature catalyzed by an earth-abundant-metal catalyst,Zr-H,for accessing diverse amines.Various readily reducible functional groups,such as esters,alkynes,and alkenes,were well tolerated.Furthermore,the methodology was extended to the synthesis of bio-and drug-derived amines.Detailed mechanistic studies revealed a reaction pathway entailing aldehyde and amido complex formation via an unusual C-N bond cleavage-reformation process,followed by C-O bond cleavage.

Preparation of Amide-Containing Insecticidal Derivatives from the Renewable Natural Productβ-Pinene

The preparation of bioactive derivatives from the renewable natural product pinene is a hot research topic in the deep processing and utilization of pinene.In this study,β-pinene was used to develop novel molecules as a promising new precursor of insecticide.A series of amide-containing derivatives ofβ-pinene were synthesized and characterized.The insecticidal activities of these derivatives against Mythimna separate and Semiaphis heraclei were tested.The structure characterization results showed that the characterization data of amide-containing derivatives were in full agreement with their proposed structures.The insecticidal activities evaluation results indicated that amide-containing derivatives exhibited weak insecticidal activity against Mythimna separate,but exhibited moderate to good insecticidal activity against Semiaphis heraclei.After testing for 72 h,the corrected mortality against Semiaphis heraclei of compounds 5c,5e,5f,5 h,5j,and 5 m was 100%at 1000 mg/L.The structure-activity relationship analysis results showed that the introduction of an amide group into the structure of derivatives improved their insecticidal activity against Semiaphis heraclei.Meanwhile,the amide-containing derivatives containing the F and NO_(2) substituted benzene ring might improve their insecticidal activity against Semiaphis heraclei.This study will be helpful for the high value-added utilization of the natural renewable resourceβ-pinene and the development of novel insecticides.
