Abstract
An amide formation using primary amines and potassium acyltrifluoroborates, that proceeds rapidly in water, is promoted by simple chlorinating agents. The reaction is fast at acidic pH and tolerates alcohols, carboxylic acids, and even secondary amines in the substrates. It is applicable to the (late-stage) functionalization of primary amides, sulfonamides, and other N-functional groups that typically resist classical acylations.
