The invention discloses a preparation method of
amide. With an
aldehyde derivative and a
formamide derivative as a reaction substrate,
iodide as catalyst and tert-
butanol hydrogen peroxide as an
oxidizing agent, the
amide is prepared through
decarbonylation double free radical cross-
coupling reaction, wherein the chemical
structural formula of the
aldehyde derivative is shown in the description, R1 is selected from a naphthyl, a heterlcyclic ring, an alkylene or a mono-substituted
aryl; and the
iodide is one selected from
sodium iodide,
potassium iodide, cuprous iodide,
lithium iodate, an
iodine elementary substance, tetrabutyl
ammonium iodide, tetraheptylammonium iodide,
tetramethylammonium iodide and benzyltrimethylammonium iodide. According to the invention, because the
amide is prepared by using the iodide as the catalyst and using the double free radical cross-
coupling method, the use of the traditional
metal catalyst with expensive price and larger
toxicity as well as a complicated experiment method is avoided so that the reaction is simpler, more convenient, easier,
safer, greener and more economic; moreover, the preparation method of the amide disclosed by the invention has the advantages of quite moderate reaction condition, simpler post-treatment and potential industrial application value.
