The unprecedented transformation of a wide range of synthetically appealing phthalimides into amides in a single-step operation has been achieved in high yields and short reaction times using a ruthenium catalyst. Mechanistic studies revealed a unique, homogeneous pathway involving five-membered ring opening and CO2 release with water being the source of protons.
使用钌催化剂,以高收率和较短的反应时间实现了单步操作中各种合成吸引力的邻苯二甲酰亚胺前所未有的转化为酰胺。机理研究表明,独特的均质途径涉及五元环的打开和CO 2的释放,其中水是质子的来源。
