A simple base-mediated amidation of aldehydes with azides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Feb 11;49(12):1193-5. doi: 10.1039/c2cc37289d.

Abstract

A practical and efficient amidation reaction involving aromatic aldehydes and various azides under mild conditions is described. A broad spectrum of functional groups was tolerated, and the amides were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields, presenting an attractive alternative to the currently available synthetic methods.
