2-Furanylboronic acid has been identified as an inexpensive and effective catalyst for the dehydrative amide formation of carboxylicacids and amines. This transformation can be efficiently carried out at roomtemperature and is applicable to a wide range of carboxylicacids with primary and secondary amines to afford amides in good to excellent yields.

N-heterocyclic carbene based ruthenium complex was developed as a highly active precatalyst for the directamidesynthesisfromalcohols and secondary amines. Notably, reaction of 1-hexanol and dibenzylamine afforded 60% of the corresponding amide using our catalytic system, while no amide formation was observed for this reaction with the previously reported catalytic systems. Unlike the previously reported

Penicillin acylase from Alcaligenes faecalis catalyzes the enantioselective acylation of amines with phenylacetamide in a kinetically controlled reaction in water at pH II. Addition of cosolvent to the reaction mixture significantly improved the enantioselectivity in most cases. Penicillin acylase from E. coli also catalyzed the phenylacetylation of amines, but an order of magnitude less efficiently than with the enzyme of A. faecalis. Amine resolution via kinetically controlled acylation competes effectively with hydrolysis of N-acylated compounds and constitutes a synthetically useful alternative to existing lipase-based methods.
