One-pot synthesis of amides via the oxidative amidation of aldehydes and amines catalyzed by a copper-MOF

A method for oxidative amidation of aldehydes with primary amines was developed to synthesise a variety of amides using Cu₂(BDC)₂DABCO (Cu-MOF) as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst, and N-chlorosuccinimide and aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidants in acetonitrile.

Nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using carbamoylsilane as an amide source

The nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation reaction of aryl halides using carbamoylsilanes as an amide source in toluene is developed leading to the formation of some tertiary or secondary aryl amides in good yields.
