The proton affinity ( PA) of cyclopentane carboxamide 1, cyclohexane carboxamide 2 and their secondary and tertiary amide derivatives S1, S2, T1 and T2, was determined by the thermokinetic method and the kinetic method [ PA(1) = 888 ± 5 kJ mol−1; PA(2) = 892 ± 5 kJ mol−1; PA(S1) = 920 ± 6 kJ mol−1; PA(S2) = 920 ± 6 kJ mol−1; PA(T1) = 938 ± 6 kJ mol−1; PA(T2) = 938 ± 6 kJ mol−1]. Special entropy effects are not observed. Additionally, the effects of protonation have been studied using an advanced kinetic method for all isomers 3–7 of cyclopentane dicarboxamides and cyclohexane dicarboxamides (with the exception of cis-cyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxamide) and their bis-tertiary derivatives T3–T7 by estimating the PA and the apparent entropy of protonation Δ(Δ Sapp). Finally, the study was extended to bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxamide 8 and its bis-tertiary derivative T8, to all stereoisomers of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxamide 9, their secondary and tertiary amide derivatives S9 and T9, and to endo–endo–bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,5-dicarboxamide 10 and the corresponding secondary and tertiary derivatives S10 and T10. Compared with 1 and 2, all alicyclic diamides exhibit a significant increase of the PA (ΔPA) and special entropy effects on protonation. For alicyclic diamides, which can not accommodate a conformation appropriate for building a proton bridge, the values of Δ PA and Δ(Δ Sapp) are small to moderate. This is explained by ion / dipole interactions between the protonated and neutral amide group which stabilize the protonated species but hinder the free rotation of the amide groups. If any of the conformations of the alicyclic diamide allows formation of a proton bridge, Δ PA and Δ(Δ Sapp) increase considerably. A spectacular case is cis-cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxamide 7c which is the most basic monocyclic diamide, although generation of the proton bridge requires the unfavorable boat conformation with both amide substituents at a flagpole position. A pre-orientation of the two amide groups in such a 1,4-position in 10 results in a particularly large PA of < 1000 kJ mol−1. The observation of comparable values for Δ(Δ Sapp) for linear and monocyclic diamides indicates that a major part of the entropy effects originates from freezing the free rotation of the amide groups by formation of the proton bridge. This is corroborated by observing corresponding effects during the protonation of dicarboxamides containing the rigid bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane carbon skeleton, where the only internal movements of the molecules corresponds to rotation of the amide substituents.

Methyl 13-(N,N- diethylcarbamoyl )-12-methoxypodocarpa-8,11,13-trien-19-oate (2), 13-(N,N- diethylcarbamoyl )-12,19-dimethoxypodocarpa-8,11,13-triene (8) and N,N-diethyl-2-methoxy-4,5-dimethylbenzamide (15) were prepared for studies involving lithiation directed ortho to the tertiary amide group, in which the use of a LICKOR base was advantageous. Some dynamic features of the n.m.r. spectra of the amides are discussed. Oxazoline derivatives of both tile monocyclic and diterpenoid compounds were synthesized.

The methylation of tert-butyl- or isopropyl- esters of Nα-4-toluenesulfonyl-amino acids by dimethylsulfate in aqueous alkaline solution in the presence of a detergent gives the corresponding Nα-methylderivatives. Using this synthetic route the Nα-acetylderivatives of MeAla, MeLeu, MeOrn and MePhe methylamides have been prepared and the solution conformation of these dipeptide units has been investigated. 1H and 13C NMR spectra show that, while in dimethylsulfoxide the tertiary amide group is mostly in cis-conformation, in protic solvents the equilibrium is shifted towards trans-conformation. Circular dichroism spectra reveal some specific features (e.g. high band intensities in protic solvents) which cannot be explained solely on the basis of the increased rigidity caused by the Nα-methyl group. We tried to explain these effects supposing that the tertiary amide group is deviated from the planar arrangement (due to the interaction between the methyl groups, a substituent on Cα and a solvent molecule attached to the oxygen atom) and contributes to the observed circular dichroism as the inherently chiral chromophore.

A photocatalytic system for the dearomative hydroarylation of benzene derivatives has been developed. Using a combination of an organic photoredox catalyst and an amine reductant, this process operates through a reductive radical-polar crossover mechanism where aryl halide reduction triggers a regioselective cyclization event, giving rise to a range of complex spirocyclic cyclohexadienes. This light-driven protocol functions at room temperature in a green solvent system (aq. MeCN), without the need for precious metal-based catalysts or reagents, or the generation of stoichiometric metal byproducts.
