Amides are essentially inert carboxyl derivatives in many types of chemical transformations. In particular, deoxygenative C?C bond formation of amides to synthetically important amines is a long-standing challenge for synthetic chemists due to the inertness of the resonance-stabilized amide C=O bond. Herein, it is disclosed that by merging electron-transfer-induced activation with 1,2-metalate rearrangement, a wide range of aromatic amides react smoothly with arylboron reagents, affording a series of biologically relevant diarylmethylamines as deoxygenative C?C bond cross-coupling products. With its simplicity and versatility, this reaction shows great promise in the synthesis of amines from amides, which may open up new avenues in retrosynthetic planning and find widespread use in academia and industry.
Tertiary amine synthesis: Via reductive coupling of amides with Grignard reagents

A new iridium catalyzed reductive coupling reaction of Grignard reagents and tertiary amides affording functionalised tertiary amine products via an efficient and technically-simple one-pot, two-stage experimental protocol, is reported. The reaction-which can be carried out on gram-scale using as little as 1 mol% Vaska's complex [IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2] and TMDS as the terminal reductant for the initial reductive activation step-tolerates a broad range of tertiary amides from (hetero)aromatic to aliphatic (branched, unbranched and formyl) and a wide variety of alkyl (linear, branched), vinyl, alkynyl and (hetero)aryl Grignard reagents. The new methodology has been applied directly to bioactive molecule synthesis and the high chemoselectivity of the reductive coupling of amide has been exploited in late stage functionalization of drug molecules. This reductive functionalisation of tertiary amides provides a new and practical solution to tertiary amine synthesis.

We developed solvent-free reductive amination without an external hydrogen source using iron pentacarbonyl as a reducing agent. Neither a catalyst nor any other additives were employed. Various types of substrates are suitable for the reaction, including
