Abstract:

In recent years, transamidation has been an essential topic in the formation of amide bonds over the conventional route due to chemoselectivity and greenside products. So many groups have disclosed new amide transformation techniques. Transamidation is typically classified into two categories based on amide activation: activated amide and unactivated amide. We conducted a review of the pertinent literature that discusses the cross amidation reactions of unactivated amides employing a variety of reagents, enabling contemporary research professionals to overcome synthetic barriers.
