Considering the irreplaceable importance of photocatalytic functionalization reactions and the widespread attention paid to the use of metal-organic frameworks, especially their modified variants for this purpose in recent years, different...
A new N-heterocyclic carbene-catalysed oxidative amidation of aldehydes has been developed which converts the aldehyde to a benzil acylating agent in situ.
Hypervalent iodine-catalyzed oxidative amidation of methylarenes to the corresponding amides by using an oxidant (tert-butyl hydroperoxide, 70% aqueous solution) is discussed.
