Various tertiary amides have been subjected to the reduction by borane-THF in the presence of trimethyl borate at $0^{\circ}C$ and the product ratio of alcohol and amine have been analyzed in order to find out the possible way to obtain one product exclusively on the basis of the structure of amides. In the case of N,N-dimethyl derivatives of both linear aliphatic and aromatic amides the corresponding alcohols were produced predominantly. However, the bulkier tertiary amides such as N,N-diethyl and hindered acid derivatives afforded amines rather than alcohols. The mechanism of borane reduction of tertiary amides is also discussed.

Two phenolic amides were isolated from the stem of Cocculus diversifolius (Menispermaceae) and identified as N-trans-feruloyl tyramine and N-trans-feruloyl 3-methyldopamine by spectroscopic methods.

Malassezia is a pathogenic fungus that causes skin diseases, such as tinea versicolor, atopic dermatitis and fatal sepsis. We report the synthesis of a series of benzoxazole amides and evaluation of their antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur. Twelve benzoxazole amides were prepared through the cyclization of the substituted 2-hydroxy aniline with N-(bis-methylsulfanylmethylene) amides. Among the prepared compounds, the compounds 4a, 8b, 8c and 8d showed in vitro antifungal activity.

A variety of ynamides undergo highly regio- and stereoselective radical addition of arenethiols with the aid of triethylborane as a radical initiator. The products, N-[(Z)-2-arylsulfanyl-1-alkenyl]amides, can be reduced with triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid to yield N-[2-(arylsulfanyl)alkyl]amides.

In order to search more active and less toxic central nervous depressants, piperic acid amides were synthesized by condensation of piperonal with crotonic acid amides. The bioassay results revealed that, among the compounds synthesized, the piperonic acid methylamide and ethylamide exhibited potent protective activity against strychnine-induced convulsion.

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) and the effects of amides on the micellization processes have been studied by fluorometric technique using pyrene as a probe. The addition of amides as cosolvent destabilized the NaDC micelle and increased the CMC. The order of effectiveness for the perturbation of NaDC micelle was N-methylacetamide ${\ge}$ DMF > acetamide > formamide, which is the order of hydrophobicity of the amines. This indicated that the effect of amides on the micellization processes of NaDC arises from diminution of the hydrophobic effect. The electrostatic repulsion between ionic head groups in the NaDC micelle appeared to be much less than that in aliphatic ionic micelle. This was also revealed in the weaker dependence of the CMC on ionic strength. The premicellar association of NaDC was not significantly involved in the micellization processes of the bile salt.

The rotational barriers of thioacetamide (TA) and acetamide (AA) were studied using the ab-initio molecular orbital theory and NMR spectroscopy. The calculated rotational barriers using MP2/6-31G**//MP2/6-31G** for TA was 72.26 kJ/mol and 58.19 kJ/mol for AA, respectively. These results are good agreement with the experimental data. The tendency for the change of structural parameters is consistent with the result of formamide. In both amides, the rotational barrier arises from the pyramidalization of nitrogen. The chemical shifts of both amides are shifted upfield when temperature is raised, which confirms pyramidalization of nitrogen. The lineshape of 1H-NMR spectra of TA shows quintet which is contributed from two triplet spectra. This means that the distribution of electrons around the nitrogen is rather symmetric. Ab-initio calculations of electric field gradient for both amides confirm the above results. The above experimental results are well understood by Keith's view on thioamides, which excludes the contribution of resonance structure and considers the origin of rotational barrier to be the same in both thioamides and in corresponding amides.
