The application belongs to the technical field of compound synthesis, and particularly relates to an
amide derivative and a preparation method thereof, wherein the preparation method of the
amide derivative comprises the following steps: S1,
graphite carbon rod electrodes and
platinum sheet electrodes are respectively arranged on two sides of a 10mL three-port glass
bottle; S2, a
magnet is added to the three-port glass
bottle, the
bottle mouth is sealed, and then the three-port glass bottle is transferred to a glove box for feeding, and
benzoylformic acid,
morpholine, 10mol%
ferrocene,
tetrabutylammonium iodide, 75mg molecular sieves and 4mL
anhydrous acetonitrile are sequentially added; S3, after the feeding is completed, the bottle mouth of the three-port glass bottle is tightly wrapped with sealing film, and
argon is introduced into the three-port glass bottle. The application utilizes the oxidation capacity of
electrochemistry, uses
ferrocene as a
redox medium, performs
decarboxylation activation on alpha-
keto acid, and is combined with an amine compound to synthesize an
amide derivative, so that the construction of a C-N bond is realized. The method is not only suitable for aromatic alpha-
keto acid, but also suitable for aliphatic alpha-
keto acid, and can be compatible with primary amine and secondary amine compounds.
