Imidazolium Chloride: An Efficient Catalyst for Transamidation of Primary Amines

Abstract

A highly efficient and convenient protocol of imidazolium chloride (30 mol %) catalyzed amidation of amines with moderate to excellent yields was reported. The protocol shows broad substrate scope for aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic primary amines.
