Abstract
Abstract The transamidation between formamide and various amines proceeds under heating, without any catalyst nor solvent, providing thus green and neutral conditions for the formylation of primary and secondary amines. The resulting amide product can be directly transformed, in a one pot sequence, into monomethylamine.
