This study presents a novel method for the synthesis of high-value amides through NiH-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov intermolecular hydroamidation of unactivated alkenes. The protocol allows for the direct synthesis of structurally diverse N-alkyl amides using abundant carboxylic acid feedstocks and has shown success with both unactivated alkenes and natural products. Mechanistic studies suggest that the observed regioselectivities are controlled by the sterical environment of the coupling reaction.
The addition of a nitrogen-based functional group to alkenes via a direct catalytic method is an attractive way of synthesizing value-added amides. The regioselective hydroamidation of unactivated alkenes is considered one of the easiest ways to achieve this goal. Herein, we report the NiH-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov intermolecular hydroamidation of unactivated alkenes enabled by using 2,9-dibutylphenathroline (diBuphen) as the ligand. This protocol provides a platform for the direct synthesis of over 90 structurally diverse N-alkyl amides using dioxazolones, which can be easily derived from abundant carboxylic acid feedstocks. This method succeeds for both terminal and internal unactivated alkenes and some natural products. Mechanistic studies including DFT calculations reveal an initial reversible insertion/elimination of the [NiH] to the alkene, followed by the irreversible amidation to furnish the N-alkyl amides. By crossover experiments and deuterium labeling studies, the observed anti-Markovnikov regioselectivities are suggested to be controlled by the sterical environment of the coupling reaction.
