Transamidation of aromatic amines with formamides using cyclic dihydrogen tetrametaphosphate

Org Biomol Chem. 2022 Oct 19;20(40):7929-7935. doi: 10.1039/d2ob00882c.

Abstract

Amide fragments are found to be one of the key constituents in a wide range of natural products and pharmacologically active compounds. Herein, we report a simple and efficient procedure for transamidation with a cyclic dihydrogen tetrametaphosphate. The protocol is simple, does not require any additives, and encompasses a broad substrate scope. To comprehend the mechanism of the present methodology, detailed spectroscopic and kinetic studies were undertaken.
