Abstract

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of amides promoted by PIFA [(bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene]. In this method, PIFA [(bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene] has been used as a useful promoter for the transamidation of dimethylformamide (DMF) with the amines. Besides, this hypervalent iodine smoothly promoted the N-formylation of various aromatic amines with formic acid. Notably, the small quantity of PIFA is found to be efficient for both strategies and large-scale synthesis can also be achieved. The present protocol involves a metal and solvent-free, mild, eco-friendly condition with a high yield of the amide products and moreover, the reactions are not air or moisture sensitive.(Figure
