The present review offers an overview of nonclassical (eg, with no pre-or in situ activation of
a carboxylic acid partner) approaches for the construction of amide bonds. The review aims …

The amide functionality is found in a wide variety of biological and synthetic structures such
as proteins, polymers, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Due to the fact that synthetic amides …

To endow high mechanical strength and thermal stability aramid nanofibers (ANF) with
novel functionality will lead to great applications. Herein, a strategy to generate covalent …

An azobenzene-containing zirconium metal–organic framework was demonstrated to be an
effective heterogeneous catalyst for the direct amidation of benzoic acids in tetrahydrofuran …

Nanocomposite membranes consisting of sulfonated perovskite-type strontium zirconite
(sSrZrO3) and sSrZrO3@ TiO2 nanofillers integrated into a sulfonated polyether ether …

Water-tolerant supported Lewis acids are actively sought after, in particular to address the
challenging direct amidation reaction. To this aim, a versatile and easy synthesis of large …

The synthesis of amides by the direct reaction of carboxylic acids with amines is an
industrially relevant reaction in fine chemistry and drug synthesis, as well as a fundamental …

A series of TiO 2@ SiO 2@ NiFe 2 O 4 composite magnetic catalyst with a core-double shell
structure was synthesized by a sol-gel method. The morphology of the catalysts was studied …

Among 28 types of heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts tested, Nb2O5 shows the
highest yield for direct amidation of n‐dodecanoic acid with a less reactive amine (aniline) …

Inductive heating has developed into a powerful and rapid indirect heating technique used
in various fields of chemistry, but also in medicine. Traditionally, inductive heating is used in …
