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 …

Amongst the many ways of constructing the amide bond, there has been a growing interest
in the use of metal-catalysed methods for preparing this important functional group. In this …

Achieving chemo-and regioselectivity simultaneously is challenging in organic synthesis.
Transition metal-catalyzed reactions are effective in addressing this problem by the diverse …

An efficient one-pot synthesis of isoquinolines and heterocycle-fused pyridines by three-
component reaction of aryl ketones, hydroxylamine, and alkynes is developed. The reaction …

A Pd‐catalyzed asymmetric double hydroxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes was
developed by using relay catalysis, providing a highly efficient route to chiral succinic acids …

A class of novel diphosphine ligands bearing pyridine substituents was designed and
synthesized for the first time. The resulting palladium complexes of L1 allow for chemo-and …

This work describes the chemo-and regioselective direct aminocarbonylation of alkynes and
aminophenols to form hydroxy-substituted α, β-unsaturated amides in good to excellent …

Hydroamidation of olefins constitutes an ideal, atom-efficient method to prepare carboxylic
amides from easily available olefins, CO, and amines. So far, aliphatic amines are not …

An efficient copper catalyzed direct aerobic oxidative amidation of methyl groups of
azaarylmethanes with N–H bonds producing amides is successfully developed, which can …

The microwave‐assisted aminocarbonylation of ynamides at low pressures of CO is
reported. A new class of (E)‐acrylamides that are potentially suitable for several applications …
