Amide synthesis is one of the most crucial transformations in chem. and biol. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ruthenium (Ru) catalyst systems have been proven to be active for direct synthesis of amides by sustainable acceptorless dehydrogenative Coupling of primary alcs. with amines. Most often, these catalytic systems usually use monodentate NHC and thus require an addnl. ligand to obtain high reactivity and selectivity. In this work, a series of cationic Ru(II)(η6-p-cymene) complexes with thioether-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (imidazole and benzimidazole-based) have been prepared and fully characterized. These complexes have then been used in the amidation reaction and the most promising one (i.e. 3c) has been applied on a large range of substrates. High conversions albeit with moderate yields have generally been obtained. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methylbenzimidazole (cas: 1632-83-3Reference of 1632-83-3).
1-Methylbenzimidazole (cas: 1632-83-3) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Imidazole is a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered planar ring. It is amphoteric and highly polar. Imidazole has been usedin the lysis, wash and elution buffer for the purification of histidine tagged Sonic Hedgehog(shh-N) protein, in elution buffer in stepwise gradient for the purification of histidine tagged aldo keto reductases using nickel affinity chromatography, as a component of homogenization buffer for the purification of phagosomal compartments from dendritic cells.Reference of 1632-83-3
