The amidation proceeds in a radical pathway unlike in conventional metal-mediated extrusion of dihydrogen. The method is advantageous in terms of metal-free conditions, nonexpensive commercial starting substrates. Also various substituents in the starting materials are tolerated and sterically hindered amino acid side chains could provide good yields of amide products.</p>
