Abstract

A variety of bisamides which are key fragments in the formation of peptidomimetic compounds were synthesized. An effective method to synthesize methylenebisamides is by the reaction of amides with N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) using Na2S2O8 as the oxidant and (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 as the catalyst in water. The structures of product were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and LRMS. The methodology will provide new strategies for the synthesis of methylenebisamides, which has the advantage of environment-friendly, simple workup and high yield.
