Abstract

Aminolysis of esters by using the organocatalyst 1, 5, 7-triazabicyclo [4.4. 0] dec-5-ene (TBD) is reported. Secondary and tertiary amides were synthesized from alkyl or aryl esters with a variety of primary and secondary amines in good to excellent yields (60–94%) under solvent-free conditions (SFC).
