General information

All reagents and solvents were used as received from commercial sources unless otherwise

noted. All amides were procured from commercial sources and used as it is. All experiments

were carried out under air atmosphere. Pre-coated plates (silica gel 60 PF254, 0.25 mm or 0.5

mm) were utilized for thin layer chromatography (TLC). Column chromatographic purifications

were carried out on flash silica-gel (240–400 mesh) using petroleum ether and ethyl acetate as

eluents. The 1H, 13C NMR spectra were recorded on 200/400/500 MHz, and 50/100/125 MHz

NMR spectrometers, respectively in CDCl3/DMSO-d6. Chemical shifts were reported as δ values

from standard peaks. Melting points are uncorrected. Mass spectra were taken on LC-MS (ESI)

mass or GC-MS mass spectrometer. HRMS were scanned on Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass

Spectrometer available at our institutional facility.

General procedure for the synthesis of methylenebisamides

A solution of amide (50 mg, 1 equiv), ammonium persulfate [(NH4)2S2O8] (2 equiv) and DMSO

(6 equiv) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was heated at 100 oC in a round bottom flask, equipped with a

stirring bar and water condenser, until the reaction was complete as indicated by thin layer

chromatography. After completion, the reaction mixture was filtered through a cotton plug and

1,4-dioxane was removed under vacuum. The residue was then dissolved in ethyl acetate (10

mL) and washed with warm water (4 mL) and brine (3 mL x 2). The organic layer was dried over

anhydrous sodium sulfate and the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography to

furnish corresponding methylenebisamides in good to excellent yields.

Mechanistic aspect study:

Procedure for Radical trapping experiment. The solution of amide 1 (50 mg, 1 equiv,

0.41 mmol), ammonium persulfate [(NH4)2S2O8] (188 mg, 2 equiv, 0.82 mmol), TEMPO (128

mg, 2 equiv, 0.82 mmol) and DMSO (175 µL, 6 equiv, 2.46 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was

heated for 24 h at 100 oC in a round bottom flask, equipped with a stirring bar and water

condenser. Only a trace amount of product was seen on TLC. Repetition of the same reaction

using BHT (145 mg, 4 equiv, 0.66 mmol) as a radical scavenger showed the same result.

Procedure using DMS instead of DMSO. The solution of amide 1 (50 mg, 1 equiv, 0.41

mmol), ammonium persulfate [(NH4)2S2O8] (188 mg, 2 equiv, 0.82 mmol), and DMS (232 mg, 6

equiv, 2.47 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was heated for 6 h at 100 oC in a round bottom flask,

equipped with a stirring bar and water condenser. Usual work-up followed by column

chromatographic (2:3, ethyl acetate: petroleum ether) purification furnished 23 mg, 44% of 2.

Procedure using NH4I instead of (NH4)2S2O8. The solution of amide 1 (50 mg, 1 equiv,

0.41 mmol), ammonium iodide [NH4I] (119 mg, 2 equiv, 0.82 mmol) and DMSO (175 µL, 6

equiv, 2.46 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was heated at 100 oC in a round bottom flask,

equipped with a stirring bar and water condenser. Even after heating for 24 h there was no

reaction and the starting material was recovered unchanged.

Procedure for trapping the formaldehyde equivalent intermediate to furnish

compound 32. To the solution of compound 31 ( 250 mg, 1.48 mmol, 1 eq) in 2 mL 1,4-dioxane

added sequentially APS (628 mg, 2.97 mmol, 2 eq) and DMSO (0.64 mL, 8.91 mmol, 6 eq) and

heated at 100 oC for 5 h then solvents were evaporated under vacuum and added 10 mL ethyl

acetate and washing of brine was given (5 mL X 2). Organic layer was separated dried over

sodium sulfate and column chromatography was done with 3:7 (ethyl acetate: petroleum ether) to

give 104 mg, 40% of 32.

Compound 34 as a plausible intermediate. The compound 33 was prepared as per the

literature procedure.8 To the solution of compound 33 (80 mg, 0.44 mmol, 1 eq) in 2 mL 1,4-

dioxane added sequencially 4-methoxy benzamide (66 mg, 0.44 mmol, 1 eq), APS (50 mg, 0.22

mmol, 0.5 eq) and heated at 50 oC for 5 h then reaction mixture was directly loaded on column

and purification done with 1:1 (ethylacetate: petroleum ether) to give 63 mg, 50% of 35 and 10

mg, 18% of benzamide 1 (based on 1H NMR) and 10 mg, 15% of compound 9 (corresponding to

4-methoxy benzamide).
