The Catalytic Synthesis of Carboniolamide: The Role of sp ³ Hybridized Oxygen

Abstract

A catalytic synthesis of carboniolamide has been reported. The strategy was straightforward with aldehyde and amide as starting materials. The products can be isolated as precipitates from the reaction mixture. The factor that stabilizes the labile functionality of hemiaminal was elucidated as a sp ³ hybridized oxygen.

Key words

catalysis - amide - aldehyde - phosphate - nucleophilic addition

• 28 General Procedure for the Synthesis of the Carboniolamide: To a reaction vial charged with amide (1.0 mmol), glyoxylate (1.0 mmol), and diphenyl hydrogen phosphate (25.0 mg, 0.1 mmol) was added Et₂O (4 mL). Then the sealed reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for the specified time. The obtained slurry was then filtered, and the precipitate was washed with a minimum amount of cold Et₂O to give the compound as a white powder. 1g: mp 106.2–108.1 °C. ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d ₆): δ = 9.46 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.92 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 2 H), 7.56 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 2 H), 6.63 (d, J = 6.1 Hz, 1 H), 5.64 (t, J = 6.9 Hz, 1 H), 4.15 (q, J = 7.1 Hz, 2 H), 1.21 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3 H). ¹³C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO-d ₆): δ = 170.26, 165.43, 137.01, 132.72, 129.93, 128.92, 72.44, 61.25, 14.49.
