Amide bonds are among the most ubiquitous functional groups found in nature, especially in biomolecules such as proteins, as well as in numerous pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Traditionally, amide synthesis involves the coupling between carboxylic acids and amines, often requiring the use of an excess of activating agents to drive the reaction forward. In recent years, an alternative method known as aldehyde oxidative amidation has emerged as a promising approach for the formation of amides. This method displays favorable atom economy and selectivity by using aldehydes as starting materials. However, it requires the use of an excess of sacrificial oxidants to promote the reaction. Common oxidants employed in this process include persulfate anions, transition metal salts, organoradical derivatives, hydroperoxides, and quinones. Despite their effectiveness, these oxidants can be costly and generate by-products and waste, thus limiting the sustainability of the process (Scheme 1B).
