Amine Activation: ?Inverse? Dipeptide Synthesis and Amide Function Formation through Activated Amino Compounds

Eleonora Tosi et al.

Summary: A copper(II)/HOBt-catalyzed microwave-assisted synthesis method for dipeptides and general amides has been developed. Instead of traditional carboxylic acid activation, the method utilizes N-acyl imidazoles as activated amino partners, providing a nonconventional approach for the synthesis of dipeptides and amides through the less studied N-* C direction. The method has been successfully applied in the synthesis of various dipeptides and amides on a gram-scale, and the mild reaction conditions allow for coupling reactions with sensitive amino acids without racemization. Experimental observations have led to the proposal of a plausible reaction pathway for the couplings.

Organocatalytic Activation of Inert Hydrosilane for Peptide Bond Formation

Wataru Muramatsu et al.

Summary: We describe the development of a reliable catalytic protocol for peptide bond formation that is generally applicable to natural and unnatural alpha-amino acids, beta-amino acids, and peptides bearing various functional groups. A 10 mol % loading of HSi[OCH(CF3)(2)](3) as a catalyst was sufficient to guarantee a consistently high yield of the resulting peptide. This method facilitates the sustainable utilization of natural resources by using a catalyst and an auxiliary based on earth-abundant silicon.

Dehydration of primary amides to nitriles in water. Late-stage functionalization and 1-pot multistep chemoenzymatic processes under micellar catalysis conditions

Alex B. Wood et al.

Summary: Dehydration of primary amides to nitriles can be achieved in aqueous micelles without the need for large amounts of organic co-solvents. A range of substrates, including functionalized molecules, can be converted using a sacrificial and inexpensive nitrile that can accept one equivalent of water. Catalyst loadings as low as 0.2-0.8 mol% of Pd(OAc)2 are possible in this recyclable medium with very low E Factors. This method is also applicable to one-pot reactions and chemoenzymatic catalysis, showcasing the benefits of chemistry in water.
