Abstract

The use of tertiary amines as surrogates for secondary amines has prominent advantages in terms of stabilization and ease of handling. A Ni-catalyzed transamidation of N-acylsaccharins with tertiary aromatic amines is reported. By using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the terminal oxidant, this reaction permits selective cleavage of the C(sp3)–N bonds of unsymmetrical tertiary aromatic amines depending on the sizes of the alkyl substituents.

  • 22 N-Methyl-N-phenylbenzamide (3a): Typical Procedure A 20 mL standard Schlenk tube equipped with a stirrer bar was charged with N-benzoylsaccharin (1a; 51.4 mg, 0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and Ni(OTf)2 (3.6 mg, 0.02 mmol, 0.10 equiv) under N2. TBHP (28.8 μL, 0.3 mmol, 1.5 equiv), N,N-dimethylaniline (2a; 30.4 μL, 0.22 mmol, 1.1 equiv), and anhyd 1,4-dioxane (3.0 mL) were added with vigorous stirring at rt. The mixture was heated at 100 °C in an oil bath for 12 h then cooled to rt. H2O was added and the resulting mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under a vacuum. The crude product was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, hexane–EtOAc (20:1)] to give a yellow oily liquid; yield: 32.1 mg (76%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.30–7.28 (m, 2 H), 7.20–7.15 (m, 3 H), 7.13–7.06 (m, 3 H), 7.01 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 3.46 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 170.4, 144.7, 135.8, 129.4, 128.9, 128.5, 127.5, 126.7, 126.3, 38.2.
