Abstract
A simple, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) activated synthesis of amides has been performed via electrolysis, carried out under galvanostatic control, of an ionic liquid (Bmim-BF4) followed by addition to the catholyte of an α, β-unsaturated aldehyde and amine. Amides have been isolated, in good to elevated yields, in the absence of any base, co-catalyst and organic solvent. The selectivity of amidation, versus the formation of imine as by-product, ...
