Abstract

A photoorganocatalytic reaction of aldehydes with diisopropyl azodicarboxylate leads to an intermediate carbonyl imide, which can react with a variety of amines to afford amides. This method enables a mild, one-pot, and environmentally friendly synthesis of amides from aldehydes and amines.
