nBu4NI-catalyzed unexpected amide bond formation between aldehydes and aromatic tertiary amines?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2013-01-25 DOI: 10.1039/C3RA40298C

Abstract

A novel and practical amide bond formation method has been developed without the need for any metals. This method provides a novel route for amide bond formation, in the presence of an nBu4NI/TBHP catalyst system, from readily available aldehydes and aromatic tertiary amines.
