Abstract
A straightforward synthesis of substituted β-aminoamides from α-arylamino-β-hydroxyacrylamides, α-arylamino-β-oxoamides, or their tautomeric mixture has been described. The (E)-enol triflate intermediates are readily generated in situ from these substrates in the presence of triflic anhydride (Tf2O) and triethylamine (Et3N) in a chemoselective manner and undergo triflic acid (TfOH)-promoted cyclization and ring-opening reactions with alcohols to deliver the desired products. The one-pot two-step synthetic protocol features the use of readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, high chemoselectivity, operational simplicity, and a wide range of synthetic potential of the products.

Abstract
A metal-free, mild, and efficient method for the synthesis of amides has been developed from the amination of aldehydes with hydroxylamines promoted by TBAF·3H2O in the presence of KOH. Control experiments showed that the nitrone was the intermediate of this amination. By this method, a series of amides, biologically active compounds bebenil and a COX inhibitor were obtained in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
Natural linear polyamines play diverse roles in physiological processes by interacting with receptors at the cellular level. Herein, we describe the stereodivergent synthesis of oligopyrrolidines, which are conformationally constrained polyamines. We synthesized dimeric and trimeric 2-oxo-oligopyrrolidines using an iterative coupling strategy. The key to our success is an iridium-catalyzed trans/cis-selective nucleophilic addition and subsequent threo/erythro-stereoselective reduction. The synthesized pyrrolidines show varying cytotoxicities against a human cancer cell line depending on the number of rings and their stereochemistry.

Abstract
The tetracyclic rings with chiral quaternary center represent a formidable synthetic challenge for Erythrina alkaloids. We present a 6-step synthesis of the Erythrina alkaloid 3-demethoxyerythratidinone with a 16% overall yield. Our synthesis highlights a cascade reaction initiated by Tf2O-induced activation of an enaminone substrate, yielding an iminium species and an enol triflate, followed by a Pictet-Spengler reaction. This method efficiently constructs the tetracyclic core skeleton, featuring an N-substituted quaternary center. It exhibits versatility across diverse (hetero)arenes and enaminone structures, providing a general strategy for the rapid synthesis of fused or spiro ring systems including the core structure of homoerythrina alkaloids.

Abstract
An enantioselective deoxygenative functionalization of secondary amides with vinylpridines is developed by merging relay iridium catalysis and cooperative photoredox-chiral Brønsted acid catalysis, affording a series of valuable chiral amines in moderate to good yields with good enantioselectivities. The intriguing multiple catalytic system invoking triple-catalysis was found to be the key to the success of the current reactions, which may stimulate further development of catalytic methodologies for asymmetric deoxygenative transformations of amides.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence and synthetic accessibility of amides render them valuable precursors for the synthesis of diverse nitrogen-containing compounds. Herein, we present a metal-free and streamlined synthetic strategy for the synthesis of quaternary α-aminophosphonates. This approach involves sequential deoxygenative nucleophilic phosphonation and versatile electrophilic alkylation of secondary amides in a one-pot fashion. Notably, this method enables the direct bis-functionalization of secondary amides with both nucleophiles and electrophiles for the first time, with simple derivatization leading to valuable free α-aminophosphonates by hydrolysis. The protocol has the advantages of operational simplicity, broad functional-group compatibility, environmental friendliness, and scalability to multigram quantities.

Abstract
Ketenimines represent an important class of reactive species, useful synthetic intermediates, and synthons. However, in general, ketenimines preferentially undergoes nucleophilic addition reactions with hydroxyl and amino groups, and carbon functional groups remain a less studied subset of such systems. Herein, we develop a straightforward syntheses of pyridin-4(1H)-imines that is achieved by cyclization of a reacting enaminone unit with α-acylketenimine which is generated from the reactions of sulfonyl azides and terminal ynones in situ (CuAAC/Ring cleavage reaction). The cascade process preferentially starts with the nucleophilic α-C of the enaminone unit instead of an amino group, attacking the electron-deficient central carbon of ketenimine, and the chemoselectivity unconventional products pyridin-4(1H)-imines were formed by intramolecular cyclization.

Abstract
Amide cross-couplings that rely on C-N bond activation by transition metal catalysts have emerged as valuable synthetic tools. Despite numerous discoveries in this field, no catalytic asymmetric variants have been disclosed to date. Herein, we demonstrate the first such transformation, which is the Mizoroki-Heck cyclization of amide substrates using asymmetric nickel catalysis. This proof-of-concept study provides an entryway to complex enantioenriched polycyclic scaffolds and advances the field of amide C-N bond activation chemistry.

Abstract
A reductive (3+2) annulation of lactams through iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation and photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid was developed. The iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the lactam carbonyl group and subsequent elimination provide a transient cyclic enamine, which undergoes iridium-catalyzed photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid in a one-pot process. The developed conditions show high functional-group tolerance and provide cyclic N,O-acetals containing a quaternary carbon center. The resulting N,O-acetals undergo a variety of acid-mediated nucleophilic addition reactions via iminium ions to give substituted cyclic amines. The developed sequence including reductive (3+2) annulation and acid-mediated nucleophilic addition was successfully applied to the four-step total synthesis of (±)-eburnamonine.

Abstract
N-Acetylation of carbohydrates is an underexplored target for chemoselective derivatization and generation of glycomimetic scaffolds. Through mild amide activation, we report that N-acetimidoyl heterocycles are stable in neutral or basic conditions yet are excellent leaving groups through acid catalysis. While this specific reactivity could prove broadly useful in amide activation strategies, stably activated N-acetylated sugars can also be diversified using libraries of hydrazides. We optimized an acid-catalyzed one-pot sequence that includes nucleophilic displacement, cyclodehydration, and intramolecular glycosylation to ultimately deliver pyranosides fused to morpholines or piperazines. This strategy of stable activation followed by acid-triggered reaction sequences exemplifies the efficient assembly of 3D-rich fused glycomimetic libraries.

Abstract
Chemoselective α-acylation of tertiary amides proceeded with highly electrophilic acid anhydrides and weak bases under mild conditions. β-Ketoamides containing trifluoroacetyl or perfluoroacyl groups were selectively obtained even in the presence of other functional groups such as ketone, ester, etc. Density functional theory calculations suggest that 1-acyloxyenamine is the key intermediate for the chemoselective α-acylation.

Abstract
Preparation of diverse homologs from lead compounds has been a common and important practice in medicinal chemistry. However, homologation of carboxylic acid derivatives, particularly amides, remains challenging. Here we report a hook-and-slide strategy for homologation of tertiary amides with tunable lengths of the inserted carbon chain. Alkylation at the α-position of the amide (hook) is followed by highly selective branched-to-linear isomerization (slide) to effect amide migration to the end of the newly introduced alkyl chain; thus, the choice of alkylation reagent sets the homologation length. The key step involves a carbon-carbon bond activation process by a carbene-coordinated rhodium complex with assistance from a removable directing group. The approach is demonstrated for introduction of chains as long as 16 carbons and is applicable to derivatized carboxylic acids in complex bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Reactions capable of transposing the oxidation levels of adjacent carbon atoms enable rapid and fundamental alteration of a molecule's reactivity. Herein, we report the 1,2-transposition of the carbon atom oxidation level in cyclic and acyclic tertiary amides, resulting in the one-pot synthesis of 1,2- and 1,3-oxygenated tertiary amines. This oxidation level transfer was facilitated by the careful orchestration of an iridium-catalyzed reduction with the functionalization of transiently formed enamine intermediates. A novel 1,2-carbonyl transposition is described, and the breadth of this redox transposition strategy has been further explored by the development of aminoalcohol and enaminone syntheses. The diverse β-functionalized amine products were shown to be multifaceted and valuable synthetic intermediates, accessing challenging biologically relevant motifs.

Abstract
A metal-free one-pot process for the gem-difluoroolefination of amides is described. The reaction is based on interaction of generated in situ α-chloroiminium salts with difluorinated phosphorus ylide formed from difluorocarbene and triphenylphosphine. The olefination involves nucleophile-assisted dephosphorylation and proceeds within one hour at low temperature. The gem-difluoroenamines were used in further transformations leading to a variety of fluoroalkylated amines.

Abstract
Ground-state destabilization of the N-C(O) linkage represents a powerful tool to functionalize the historically inert amide bond. This burgeoning reaction manifold relies on the availability of amide bond precursors that participate in weakening of the nN → π*C=O conjugation through N-C twisting, N pyramidalization, and nN electronic delocalization. Since 2015, acyl N-C amide bond activation through ground-state destabilization of the amide bond has been achieved by transition-metal-catalyzed oxidative addition of the N-C(O) bond, generation of acyl radicals, and transition-metal-free acyl addition. This Perspective summarizes contributions of our laboratory in the development of new ground-state-destabilized amide precursors enabled by twist and electronic activation of the amide bond and synthetic utility of ground-state-destabilized amides in cross-coupling reactions and acyl addition reactions. The use of ground-state-destabilized amides as electrophiles enables a plethora of previously unknown transformations of the amide bond, such as acyl coupling, decarbonylative coupling, radical coupling, and transition-metal-free coupling to forge new C-C, C-N, C-O, C-S, C-P, and C-B bonds. Structural studies of activated amides and catalytic systems developed in the past decade enable the view of the amide bond to change from the "traditionally inert" to "readily modifiable" functional group with a continuum of reactivity dictated by ground-state destabilization.

Abstract
The primary objective in synthetic organic chemistry is to develop highly efficient, selective, and versatile synthetic methodologies, which are essential for discovering new drug candidates and agrochemicals. In this study, we present a unified strategy for a one-pot, catalytic enantioselective synthesis of α-alkyl and α,α'-dialkyl pyrrolidine, piperidine, and indolizidine alkaloids using readily available amides and alkynes. This synthesis is enabled by the identification and development of an Ir/Cu/N-PINAP catalyzed highly enantioselective and chemoselective reductive alkynylation of α-unbranched aliphatic amides, which serves as the key reaction. This reaction is combined with Pd-catalyzed tandem reactions in a one-pot approach, enabling the collective, catalytic enantioselective total syntheses of eight alkaloids and an anticancer antipode with 90-98% ee. The methodology's enantio-divergence is exemplified by the one-step access to either enantiomer of alkaloid bgugaine.

Abstract
Reactivity umpolung is an important concept in organic chemistry. Established reactivity umpolung mainly focuses on the aldehyde and umpolung of amide carbonyl group is not known. In this report, we describe a process to obtain the umpolung reactivity of tertiary amide. This process hinges on the efficient reductive stannylation catalyzed by Ir/silane and facile Sn-Li exchange. By leveraging this umpolung reactivity, drug Fluoxetine was derivatized to 12 different analogues via reacting with various electrophiles and four biologically active molecules were prepared concisely. This unlocked umpolung reactivity of tertiary amide is expected to find applications to synthesize complex amines from amides.

C-Terminal residues play a pivotal role in dictating the structure and functions of proteins. Herein, we report a mild, efficient, chemoselective, and site-selective chemical method that allows for precise chemical proteolysis at C-terminal arginine dictated by 9,10-phenanthrenequinone independent of the remaining sequence. This biomimetic approach also exhibits the potential to synthesize C-terminal methyl ester (-CO2Me) peptides.

Abstract
Amide derivatization is useful to access valuable organic compounds considering the ready availability of molecules containing amide functionality. Current methods to derivatize amide mainly focus on the synthesis of carbonyl-containing compounds and amines. Incorporating both parts of the initial amide into the new derivatives is rare. Herein, we describe a simple and practical amide derivatization through amino acid insertion to prepare more complex amides. This insertion is applicable to a wide range of amino acids and more importantly, the chiral information is completely conserved during the insertion. Comparison of this insertion strategy with conventional amide synthesis demonstrates the synthetic advantages of this new protocol.

Abstract
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of amides by selective N-C acyl bond cleavage represents a powerful tool for constructing biaryl ketones from historically inert amide bonds. These amide bond activation reactions hinge upon efficient oxidative addition of the N-C acyl bond to Pd(0). However, in contrast to the well-researched activation of aryl halides by C(sp2)-X oxidative addition, very few studies on the mechanism of C(acyl)-N bond oxidative addition and catalyst effect have been reported. Herein, we report a study on [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl2] catalysts in amide N-C bond activation. These readily prepared, well-defined, air- and moisture-stable Pd(II)-NHC catalysts feature SMe2 (DMS = dimethylsulfide) or S(CH2CH2)2 (THT = tetrahydrothiophene) as ancillary ligands. The reaction development, kinetic studies, and reaction scope are presented. Extensive DFT studies were conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of C(acyl)-N bond oxidative addition and catalyst activation. We expect that [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl2] precatalysts featuring sulfides as well-defined, readily accessible ancillary ligands will find application in C(acyl)-X bond activation in organic synthesis and catalysis.

Abstract
Ketones are ubiquitous in organic synthesis. However, the general method to convert widely available carboxylic acids, unactivated esters, and amides into ketones remains elusive. Herein, we describe the Ti-catalyzed modular ketone synthesis from carboxylic derivatives and easily accessed gem-dihaloalkanes. Notably, this protocol could achieve the direct catalytic olefination of carboxylic acids. This method features a sequence of olefination and electrophilic transformation and good functional group compatibility and allows rapid access to various functionalized ketones. Preliminary mechanistic studies provide insights into the reaction pathway and support the intermediacy of plausible alkylidene titanocene and gem-bimetallic complexes.

Abstract
Although transamidation of amides generally requires metals, additives, or harsh conditions, we present here a facile transamidation of N-cyano amides with various amines at ambient temperature without any additive. N-cyano amides preferred the trans conformation and have a reduced double bond character revealed by crystal analysis. The DFT study indicates that the transamidation reaction proceeds through the direct attack of amine on the amide carbonyl since the LUMO (or LUMO+1) is located at the carbonyl moiety.

Abstract
Selective oxygenation of C(sp3)-H bonds adjacent to nitrogen atoms is a highly attractive strategy for synthesizing various formamide derivatives while preserving the substrate skeletons. Herein, an environmentally benign electrochemically enabled decyanative C(sp3)-H oxygenation of N-cyanomethylamines using H2O as a carbonyl oxygen atom source is described, leading to the synthesis of a large class of formamides in good to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope under metal- and oxidant-free conditions. This electrochemical technology highlights the facile incorporation of N-formyl into some important bioactive molecules.

Abstract
A simple, mild and efficient sequential KOtBu/FeCl3-catalyzed reductive phosphonylation of tertiary amides is herein described. This process first involved the KOtBu-catalyzed selective semi-reduction of tertiary amides to hemiaminal intermediates by TMDS (1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane) and then the FeCl3-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of the hemiaminal intermediates to phosphonates, which allowed the straightforward synthesis of α-amino phosphonates in moderate to good yields. This method applied well to amides and lactams that bear no strong acidic α-hydrogens, and various functional groups, including methoxy, methylthio, cyano, halogen, and heterocycles, could be tolerated.

Abstract
We herein developed a reductive transamidation reaction between N-acyl benzotriazoles (AcBt) and organic nitro compounds or NaNO2 under mild conditions. This protocol employed the stable and readily available B2(OH)4 as the reducing agent and H2O as the ideal solvent. N-Deuterated amides can be synthesized when conducting the reaction in D2O. A reasonable reaction mechanism involving bond metathesis between the AcBt amide and amino boric acid intermediate was proposed to explain the unique nature of AcBt.

Abstract
The mild catalytic partial reduction of amides to imines has proven to be a challenging synthetic transformation, with many transition metals directly reducing these substrates to amines. Herein, we report a mild, catalytic method for the semireduction of both secondary and tertiary amides via zirconocene hydride catalysis. Utilizing just 5 mol % of Cp2ZrCl2, the reductive deoxygenation of secondary amides is demonstrated to furnish a diverse array of imines in up to 94% yield with excellent chemoselectivity and without the need for glovebox handling. Moreover, a novel reductive transamination of tertiary amides is also achievable when the catalytic protocol is carried out in the presence of a primary amine at room temperature, providing access to an expanded assortment of imines in up to 98% yield. Through slight procedural tuning, the single-flask conversion of amides to imines, aldehydes, amines or enamines is feasible, including multicomponent syntheses.

Abstract
Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride has been widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, not only for the conversion of various oxygen-containing compounds to the triflates, but also for the electrophilic activation and further conversion of amides, sulfoxides, and phosphorus oxides. In recent years, the utilization of Tf2 O as an activator for nitrogen-containing heterocycles, nitriles and nitro groups has become a promising tool for the development of new valuable methods with considerable success. In addition, Tf2 O has been used as an efficient radical trifluoromethylation and trifluoromethylthiolation reagent due to the contained SO2 CF3 fragment, and significant progress has been made in this area. This review summarizes the recent progress in the applications of Tf2 O in the above two aspects, and aims to illustrate the role and potential application of this reagent in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Structurally novel 2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-1,6,9-trien-8-ones were synthesized from N-(2-propyn-1-yl) amides and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzenes by a tandem method consisting of a Tf2O-promoted amide activation and a TfOH-promoted Friedel-Crafts ipso-cyclization. The method offered the first example of using N-(2-propyn-1-yl) amides as substrates in both Tf2O-promoted secondary amide activation and the synthesis of azaspiro[4.5]deca-6,9-diene-8-ones.

Abstract
In contrast to ketones and carboxylic esters, amides are classically seen as comparatively unreactive members of the carbonyl family, owing to their unique structural and electronic features. However, recent decades have seen the emergence of research programmes focused on the selective activation of amides under mild conditions. In the past four years, this area has continued to rapidly develop, with new advances coming in at a fast pace. Several novel activation strategies have been demonstrated as effective tools for selective amide activation, enabling transformations that are at once synthetically useful and mechanistically intriguing. This Minireview comprises recent advances in the field, highlighting new trends and breakthroughs in what could be called a new age of amide activation.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric geminal bis-nucleophilic addition to nonreactive functional groups is a type of highly desirable yet challenging transformation in organic chemistry. Here, we report the first catalytic asymmetric reductive/deoxygenative alkynylation of secondary amides. The method is based on a multicatalysis strategy that merges iridium/copper relay catalysis with organocatalysis. A further combination with the palladium-catalyzed alkyne hydrogenation allows the one-pot enantioselective reductive alkylation of secondary amides. This versatile protocol allows the efficient synthesis of four types of α-branched chiral amines, which are prevalent structural motifs of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The protocol also features excellent enantioselectivity, chemoselectivity, and functional group tolerance to be compatible with more reactive functional groups such as ketone and aldehyde. The synthetic utility of the method was further demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of two drug derivatives and the concise, first catalytic asymmetric approach to the κ-opioid antagonist aticaprant.

Abstract
N-Hydroxyethyl acrylamide was used as a functional initiator for the enzymatic ring-opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone. N-Hydroxyethyl acrylamide was found not to undergo self-reaction in the presence of Lipase B from Candida antarctica under the reaction conditions employed. By contrast, this is a major problem for 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate which both show significant transesterification issues leading to unwanted branching and cross-linking. Surprisingly, N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide did not react fully during enzymatic ring-opening polymerisation. Computational docking studies helped us understand that the initiated polymer chains have a higher affinity for the enzyme active site than the initiator alone, leading to polymer propagation proceeding at a faster rate than polymer initiation leading to incomplete initiator consumption. Hydroxyl end group fidelity was confirmed by organocatalytic chain extension with lactide. N-Hydroxyethyl acrylamide initiated polycaprolactones were free-radical copolymerised with PEGMA to produce a small set of amphiphilic copolymers. The amphiphilic polymers were shown to self-assemble into nanoparticles, and to display low cytotoxicity in 2D in vitro experiments. To increase the green credentials of the synthetic strategies, all reactions were carried out in 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, a solvent derived from renewable resources and an alternative for the more traditionally used fossil-based solvents tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, and toluene.

Here we report an α-thianthrenium carbonyl species, as the equivalent of an α-carbonyl carbocation, which is generated by the radical conjugate addition of a trifluoromethyl thianthrenium salt to Michael acceptors. The reactivity allows for the synthesis of Cα -tetrasubstituted α- and β-amino acid analogues via a Ritter reaction by addition of acetonitrile. Addition of hydroxide, methoxide, and even fluoride can afford α-heteroatom substituted α-phenylpropanoates.

Abstract
The first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-lucidumone is described through a 13-step synthetic pathway (longest linear sequence). The key steps involve the formation of a bridged bicyclic lactone by an enantioselective inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition, C-O bond formation to assemble two fragments, and a one-pot retro-[4 + 2]/[4 + 2] cycloaddition cascade. The synthesis is scalable, and more than one gram of natural product was synthesized in one batch.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed denitrogenative cross-electrophile-coupling of benzotriazinones with unactivated alkyl halides (X = Cl, Br, I) in the presence of manganese powder as a reductant has been developed. The reaction furnishes ortho-alkylated secondary benzamides in modest to good yields under mild conditions. The scope of the reaction is demonstrated with 25 examples, showing good tolerance of steric hindrance and common functional groups, thus providing an efficient protocol to ortho-alkylated benzamide derivatives without the use of preprepared organometallic reagents.

Abstract
The preparation of amide-containing compounds is among the most interesting and challenging topics for the synthetic community. Such relevance is given by their reactive aspects explored in the context of organic synthesis and by the direct application of these compounds as pharmaceuticals and useful materials, and their key roles in biological structures. A simple and straightforward strategy for the amide moiety installation is the use of carbamoyl radicals - this nucleophilic one-electron intermediate is prone to undergo a series of transformations, providing a range of structurally relevant derivatives. In this review, we summarize the latest advances in the field from the perspective of photoinduced protocols. To this end, their synthetic applications are organized accordingly to the nature of the radical precursor (formamides through HAT, 4-substituted-1,4-dihydropyridines, oxamic acids, and N-hydroxyphthalimido esters), the mechanistic aspects also being highlighted. The discussion also includes a recent approach proceeding via photolytic C-S cleavage of dithiocarbamate-carbamoyl intermediates. By exploring fundamental concepts, this material aims to offer an understanding of the topic, which will encourage and facilitate the design of new synthetic strategies applying the carbamoyl radical.

Abstract
Piperidine and pyrrolidine derivatives are important nitrogen heterocyclic structures with a wide range of biological activities. However, reported methods for their construction often face problems of requiring the use of expensive metal catalysts, highly toxic reaction reagents or hazardous reaction conditions. Herein, an efficient route from halogenated amides to piperidines and pyrrolidines was disclosed. In this method, amide activation, reduction of nitrile ions, and intramolecular nucleophilic substitution were integrated in a one-pot reaction. The reaction conditions were mild and no metal catalysts were used. The synthesis of a variety of N-substituted and some C-substituted piperidines and pyrrolidines became convenient, and good yields were obtained.

Abstract
The catalytic reductive condensation reactions of tertiary amides with active methylene compounds leading to multifunctionalized non-N-containing products is described. The reactions proceed through sequential iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the amides followed by acid-mediated condensation with the active methylene compounds. This scalable method is broad in scope and shows remarkable chemoselectivity for the amide group in the presence of several sensitive or even more reactive functionalities such as ester, cyano, nitro, silyl dienol ether, and ketone.
