Intervention of the enolate oxidation in the catalytic asymmetric phase-transfer alkylation of protected α-amino acid derivatives under aerobic conditions has been addressed, and anaerobic conditions have been introduced to obtain synthetically satisfactory chemical yields as well as a high level of enantioselectivity.

A simple and efficient system for the hydration and α-deuteration of nitriles to form amides, α-deuterated nitriles, and α-deuterated amides catalyzed by a single pincer complex of the earth-abundant manganese capable of metal-ligand cooperation is reported. The reaction is selective and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, giving the corresponding amides in moderate to good yields. Changing the solvent from tert-butanol to toluene and using D2O results in formation of α-deuterated nitriles in high selectivity. Moreover, α-deuterated amides can be obtained in one step directly from nitriles and D2O in THF. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the transformations contributing toward activation of the nitriles via a metal-ligand cooperative pathway, generating the manganese ketimido and enamido pincer complexes as the key intermediates for further transformations.

Here, a photocatalytic deoxygenative amidation protocol using readily available amine-boranes and carboxylic acids is described. This approach features mild conditions, moderate-to-good yields, easy scale-up, and up to 62 examples of functionalized amides with diverse substituents. The synthetic robustness of this method was also demonstrated by its application in the late-stage functionalization of several pharmaceutical molecules.
