Abstract
(2-(Thiophen-2-ylmethyl)phenyl)boronic acid is a a highly active catalyst for direct amidation between carboxylic acids and amines at room temperature for a large range of substrates. Slightly higher temperatures are required for challenging starting materials. Aliphatic, α-hydroxyl, aromatic, and heteroaromatic acids as well as primary, secondary, heterocyclic, and even functionalized amines can be used.
