Abstract

Azo compounds were conveniently reduced by a system consisting of Sm/TiCl4 to produce aniline an- ions. This anion species reacted smoothly with aliphatic acyl chlorides or acid anhydrides to afford corre- sponding amides under mild and neutral conditions. ... Keywords: Amides; Azo compound; Sm/TiCl4; Reduction. ... Amides are important commercial and biological com- pounds. Because amides constitute the backbone of protein molecules, their chemistry is ...
