The development of a novel acetyl nitrate mediated oxidative conversion of methyl ketones to carboxylic acid derivatives is described. By analogy to the haloform reaction and supported by experimental and computational investigation we propose a mechanism for this transformation.

Transamidation reactions are often mediated by reactive substrates in the presence of overstoichiometric activating reagents and/or transition metal catalysts. Here we report the use of CO2as a traceless catalyst: in the presence of catalytic amounts of CO2, transamidation reactions were accelerated with primary, secondary, and tertiary amide donors. Various amine nucleophiles including amino acid derivatives were tolerated, showcasing the utility of transamidation in peptide modification and polymer degradation (e.g., Nylon-6,6). In particular,N,O-dimethylhydroxyl amides (Weinreb amides) displayed a distinct reactivity in the CO2-catalyzed transamidation versus a N2atmosphere. Comparative Hammett studies and kinetic analysis were conducted to elucidate the catalytic activation mechanism of molecular CO2, which was supported by DFT calculations. We attributed the positive effect of CO2in the transamidation reaction to the stabilization of tetrahedral intermediates by covalent binding to the electrophilic CO2

An efficient, broadly applicable, operationally simple, and divergent process for the transformation of imides into a range of carboxylic acid derivatives under mild conditions is reported. By simply using catalytic amounts of ytterbium(III) triflate as a Lewis acid promoter in the presence of alcohols, water, amines, or N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine, a broad range of imides is smoothly and readily converted to the corresponding esters, carboxylic acids, amides, and Weinreb amides in good yields. This method notably enables an easy cleavage of oxazolidinone-based auxiliaries.
