Abstract
A green and efficient method for the synthesis of amides has been developed through oxidative amidation between methylarenes with amines in a two-step continuous flow system. This method integrates methylarene oxidation and amide formation into a single operation which is usually accomplished separately. Oxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as “green” oxidant, the synthesis of amides under mild reaction conditions in continuous flow system and the utilization of methylarenes as starting material make this methodology novel and environment friendly. The practical value of this method is highlighted through the synthesis of high-profile pharmaceutical agents, acetylprocainamide.
