In this study, we present the first catalytic methodology for synthesizing N-methyl secondary amides via dehydrative condensation of hydroxycarboxylic acids with readily available and safe aqueous methylamine, employing diboronic acid anhydride (DBAA) as catalyst. DBAA catalysis can also be applied to direct amidations using ethylamine or dimethylamine. Moreover, demonstrate applicability system concise synthesis eight biologically active compounds containing β-amino alcohol motifs, including halostachine, synephrine, longimammine, phenylephrine, metanephrine, normacromerine, etilefrine, macromerine.
