N. Sawant, Dattatraya B. Bagal, Saeko Ogawa, Kaliyamoorthy Selvam, Susumu SaitoTetrakis(dimethylamido)diboron
and tetrahydroxydiboron are herein
reported as new catalysts for the synthesis of aryl amides by catalytic
condensation of aromatic carboxylic acids with amines. The developed
protocol is both simple and highly efficient over a broad range of
substrates. This method thus represents an attractive approach for
the use of diboron catalysts in the synthesis of amides without having
to resort to stoichiometric or additional dehydrating agents.
