In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of acyclic twisted amides,
covering the literature since 1993 (the year of the first recognized report on acyclic twisted …

The synthesis of amides remains one of the most important transformations and it is one of
the more frequently performed reactions. In the pharmaceutical industry, the formation of the …

We report a new class of synthetic molecular pumps that use a stepwise information ratchet
mechanism to achieve the kinetic gating required to sequester their macrocyclic substrates …

The challenging transamidation of unactivated tertiary amides has been accomplished via
cooperative acid/iodide catalysis. Most crucially, the method provides a novel manifold to re …

The amide bond N− C activation represents a powerful strategy in organic synthesis to
functionalize the historically inert amide linkage. This personal account highlights recent …

Amide bond construction has garnered significant interest in recent decades due to amides
being one of the most prevalent functional groups among bioactive molecules. Out of the …

In the past several years, tremendous advances have been made in non-classical routes for
amide bond formation that involve transamidation and amidation reactions of activated …

Carbon‐heteroatom bond formation under transition‐metal free conditions provides a
powerful synthetic alternative for the efficient synthesis of valuable molecules. In particular …

We herein developed a reductive transamidation reaction between N-acyl benzotriazoles
(AcBt) and organic nitro compounds or NaNO2 under mild conditions. This protocol …

A photocatalyst-free and mild visible light photochemical procedure for C (sp3)–H arylation
of amides is described. The reaction proceeds via an electron donor–acceptor (EDA) …
