Abstract

A copper-catalyzed system for the amidation of carboxylic acids with tert-amines through C-N bond cleavage was developed. This protocol is practical and represents a simple way to produce functionalized amides from basic starting materials in moderate to good yields. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the reaction.
