The regioselective synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives via amination (C–N) and intramolecular cyclization (C–S) reactions in the presence of molecular iodine has been reported. This method is base and metal free and features inexpensive catalysts, with a simple procedure and a short reaction time.

In the past several years, tremendous advances have been made in non-classical routes for amide bond formation that involve transamidation and amidation reactions of activated amides and esters. These new methods enable the formation of extremely valuable amide bonds via transition-metal-catalyzed, transition-metal-free, or metal-free pathways by exploiting chemoselective acyl C–X (X = N, O) cleavage under mild conditions. In a broadest sense, these reactions overcome the formidable challenge of activating C–N/C–O bonds of amides or esters by rationally tackling nN → π*C=O delocalization in amides and nO → π*C=O donation in esters. In this account, we summarize the recent remarkable advances in the development of new methods for the synthesis of amides with a focus on (1) transition-metal/NHC-catalyzed C–N/C–O bond activation, (2) transition-metal-free highly selective cleavage of C–N/C–O bonds, (3) the development of new acyl-transfer reagents, and (4) other emerging methods.1 Introduction2 Transamidation of Amides2.1 Transamidation by Metal–NHC Catalysis (Pd–NHC, Ni–NHC)2.2 Transition-Metal-Free Transamidation via Tetrahedral Intermediates2.3 Reductive Transamidation2.4 New Acyl-Transfer Reagents2.5 Tandem Transamidations3 Amidation of Esters3.1 Amidation of Esters by Metal–NHC Catalysis (Pd–NHC, Ni–NHC)3.2 Transition-Metal-Free Amidation of Esters via Tetrahedral Intermediates3.3 Reductive Amidation of Esters4 Transamidations of Amides by Other Mechanisms5 Conclusions and Outlook

Background: Unprecedented, one-pot regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles through azide- aldehyde (3+2) organo-click cycloaddition under metal and solvent-free conditions, is described. Objective: Solvent and metal free synthesis of biologically and industrially important triazoles. Methods: Efficient and high yielding synthesis of products avoiding the tedious high solvent workups and chromatographic separations. The synthesis doesn’t involve the routine acetylenes which are very costly but instead cheaper starting materials like aldehydes and organic azides are used. Results: Green protocol based on the catalysis through Ionic Liquids which simultaneously act as solvents. The products are obtained in good to excellent yields in hassle free synthesis. Conclusion: Efficient and green synthesis of structurally and biologically important triazoles.
