Lanthanum trifluoromethanesulfonate is an effective single-component catalyst for
synthesizing a variety of amides directly from esters and amines under mild conditions …

The highly efficient transamidation of several primary, secondary, and tertiary amides with
aliphatic and aromatic amines (primary and secondary) is described. The reaction is …

A metal-, base-, and additive-free amide bond formation reaction was developed under an
organic photoredox catalyst. This green approach showed excellent functional selectivity …

A simple catalyst-and promoter-free protocol has been developed for the transamidation of
weakly nucleophilic aromatic amines with formamide derivatives and low-reactivity tertiary …

A novel amidation strategy using electrophilic sulfonium, which is soluble and stable in
aqueous conditions, was developed. The sulfoniums could activate thioacid and carboxyl …

A straightforward one‐step biocatalyzed synthesis of different N‐acyl amides in water was
accomplished using the versatile and chemoselective acyltransferase from Mycobacterium …

The in situ generation of a “cyano” unit from readily available organic precursors is of high
interest in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report the first example of Ni-mediated …

Transition-metal-free multicomponent reactions involving arynes and isocyanides with either
CO2 or H2O have been reported. With CO2 as the third component, the reactions resulted in …

A remarkable visible-light-promoted photoredox catalytic methodology involved with amines
and eco-friendly potassium thioacids for amide formation was uncovered. This approach can …

The physicochemical properties (pKa (H), log P, and aqueous solubility) of fluoroalkyl‐
substituted heterocyclic amines were profiled to facilitate the amines' rational application in …
