A convenient approach was developed for the syntheses of amide derivatives and novel Gemcitabine prodrugs with 4-(boronic acid) benzoylamide structure. The amide compounds containing phenylboronic acid structure were synthesized by a one-step reaction strategy using o-toluidine and 4-boronobenzoic acid as starting materials. And the pure product was quickly obtained through acid-base post-treatment. Moreover, the prodrugs of gemcitabine containing phenylboronic acid structure were rapidly synthesized by microchannel continuous flow technology. Three of all the obtained targets were subjected to the anti-proliferative activity test.
