Abstract
An efficient amidation of carboxylate salts with either free amines or their ammonium hydrochloride salts can be achieved in very good yields using HBTU in combination with Hünig's base in 1-2 h. The protocol is valuable for the coupling of carboxylates for which the corresponding carboxylic acids or acyl chlorides are unstable. Addition of carbon dioxide to a lithiated terminal alkyne enables the synthesis of acetylenic amides in one pot.
