This paper reports a room temperature, nickel-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling of N-acylsuccinimides with arylzinc reagents via selective N–C bond cleavage enabled by amide bond twist. The reaction proceeds using a commercially available, air-stable Ni(II) precatalyst in the absence of additives under exceedingly mild conditions. Of broad interest, this report introduces N-acylsuccinimides as stable, crystalline, electrophilic, cost-effective, benign, amide-based acyl transfer reagents via acyl metal intermediates. The reaction selectivity is governed by half-twist of the amide bond in N-acylsuccinimides, thus opening the door for applications in metal-catalyzed manifolds via redox­-neutral reaction pathways tuneable by amide bond distortion.

Over the past few decades, transition metal catalysis has witnessed a rapid and extensive development. The discovery and development of cross-coupling reactions is considered to be one of the most important advancements in the field of organic synthesis. The design and synthesis of well-defined and bench-stable transition metal pre-catalysts provide a significant improvement over the current catalytic systems in cross-coupling reactions, avoiding excess use of expensive ligands and harsh conditions for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials. Among various well-defined pre-catalysts, the use of Pd(II)-NHC, particularly, provided new avenues to expand the scope of cross-coupling reactions incorporating unreactive electrophiles, such as amides and esters. The strong σ-donation and tunable steric bulk of NHC ligands in Pd-NHC complexes facilitate oxidative addition and reductive elimination steps enabling the cross-coupling of broad range of amides and esters using facile conditions contrary to the arduous conditions employed under traditional catalytic conditions. Owing to the favorable catalytic activity of Pd-NHC catalysts, a tremendous progress was made in their utilization for cross-coupling reactions via selective acyl C–X (X=N, O) bond cleavage. This review highlights the recent advances made in the utilization of well-defined pre-catalysts for C–C and C–N bond forming reactions via selective amide and ester bond cleavage.

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
