Abstract

A method for the amidation of aldehydes with PhI NTs/PhI NNs as the nitrogen source and an inexpensive iron (II) chloride+ pyridine as the in situ formed precatalyst under mild conditions at room temperature or microwave assisted conditions is described. The reaction was operationally straightforward and accomplished in moderate to excellent product yields (20–99%) and with complete chemoselectivity with the new C–N bond forming only at the ...
