Abstract

Abstract Amides are a class of highly stable and readily available compounds. The amide functional group constitutes a class of powerful directing/activating and protecting group for C [BOND] C bond formation. Tertiary tert-alkylamine, including 1-azaspirocycle is a key structural feature found in many bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. The transformation of amides into tert-alkylamines generally requires several steps. In this ...
