Amidation of carboxylic acids and esters
Amidation of carboxylic acids and esters is the conversion of an acid or ester into an amide with an amine, directly with heat or catalysis, or through activated intermediates.
Amide
An amide, also called a carboxamide, is an organic compound in which an acyl group is bonded to a nitrogen atom, common in proteins and other biomolecules.
Amide activation
Amide activation is a set of chemical strategies that weaken the amide bond's stabilizing resonance, letting normally unreactive amides undergo nucleophilic addition, N–C(O) cleavage, and rearrangement.
Amide N–C bond activation
Amide N–C bond activation is an organic synthesis strategy that cleaves the normally inert amide C–N bond by metal catalysis or nucleophilic addition, converting amides into esters and other products.
