Abstract

Amides are one of the most ubiquitous and important functional groups in natural and synthetic organic compounds, and the amide bond formation has been intensively investigated in organic synthesis. 1 In vivo, protein synthesis (amide bond formation) is performed by ribosomes 2 and the key to this transformation is the catalytic amidation of esters. In the non-enzymatic amide formation, however, esters are viewed as an inert scaffold upon which traditional ...
