Abstract

Abstract A highly efficient protocol for the preparation of aromatic amides is described by the direct reactions between salicyclic acid and aromatic amines in the presence of phosphorous trichloride under microwave irradiation. The method has several advantages over the conventional methods, including operational simplicity, good yield, and reduced reaction time.
