Environmentally friendly one-pot synthesis of amides, bis-amides and dipeptides by mechanochemical carbodiimide-mediated coupling of carboxylicacids and amines is described; high reaction yields and simple aqueous work-up allow for the clean, practical and fast preparation of a variety of compounds containing the amide bond from readily accessible reagents.
A series of proline-based dipeptide organocatalysts with two amide units (1-16) have been developed and evaluated in the direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions of aldehydes with cyclohexanone. These catalysts showed good solubility in organic solvents compared with their corresponding carboxyl terminal dipeptides. The robust amide bond formation allowed structural modifications and fine tuning of catalyst properties by varying the stereo and electronic effects of the terminal amide to affect the ability of hydrogen bonding formation between the catalysts and the substrates. The reactions proceeded smoothly in high yields (up to 99%), enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) and anti-diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1) in the presence of bifunctional organocatalyst 4 under the optimal reaction conditions.

The emergent properties resulting from selective supramolecular interactions are of significant importance for materials and chemical systems. For the directed use of such properties, a fundamental understanding of the interaction mechanism and the resulting mode of function is necessary for a tailored design. The self‐induced diastereomeric anisochronism effect (SIDA), which occurs in the intermolecular interaction of chiral molecules, generates unique properties such as chiral self‐recognition and nonlinear effects. Here we show that anisidine amino acid diamides lead to extraordinary signal splitting in NMR spectra through supramolecular interaction and homochiral self‐recognition. By systematic experiments we have investigated the underlying SIDA effect, explored its limits and finally successfully utilized it in the determination of enantiomeric ratios by NMR spectroscopy of chiral ‘SIDA‐inactive’ compounds such as thalidomide.
