Substitution of the dicarbaundecaborate anion nido-7,8-C2B9H12 (1) by precise hydride abstraction followed by nucleophilic attack usually leads to symmetric products 10-R-nido-7,8-C2B9H11. However, thioacetamide (MeC(S)NH2) as nucleophile and acetone/AlCl3 as hydride abstractor gave asymmetric 9-[MeC(NHiPr)S]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (2), whereas N,N-dimethylthioacetamide (MeC(S)NMe2) gave the expected symmetric 10-[MeC(NMe2)S]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (4). For the formation of 2, acetone and thioacetamide are assumed to give the intermediate MeC(S)N(CMe2) (3), which then attacks 1 with formation of 2. Similarly, reaction of acetyliminium chloride [MeC(O)NH(CPh2)]Cl (5) with 1 in THF gave a mixture of 9-and 10-substituted [MeC(NHCHPh2)O]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (6 and 7, respectively). These reactions are the first examples in which compounds (here heterodienes) that unite the functionalities of both hydride acceptor and nucleophilic site react with 1 in a bimolecular fashion. Furthermore, the analogous reaction of 1 and 5 (in an equilibrium mixture with acetyl chloride and benzophenone imine) in MeCN afforded 10-[MeC(NCPh2)NH]-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 (8) and MeC(O)NHCHPh2 (9).

The Ritter reaction used to be one of the most powerful synthetic tools to functionalize alcohols and nitriles, providing valuableN-alkyl amide products. However, this reaction has not been frequently used in modern organic synthesis due to its employment of strongly acidic and harsh reaction conditions, which often lead to complicated side reactions. Herein, we report the development of a new method using salts of the tropylium ion to promote the Ritter reaction. This method works well on a range of alcohol and nitrile substrates, giving the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This reaction protocol is amenable to microwave and continuous flow reactors, offering an attractive opportunity for further applications in organic synthesis.

We had found the novel N-alkylation method, which utilizes carboxylic acids as alkyl sources with sodium triacetoxyborohydride [NaBH(OAc)3]. Our methodology had been revealed to have some advantages over the reported similar procedures. Through
