Abstract

Therefore, the development of a mild and efficient method for the synthesis of amide bonds in the absence of a base is strongly desired. In this communication, we report on a new and efficient method for the synthesis of amides from corres-ponding acyl chlorides and amines using a catalytic amount of cooper (II) oxide (CuO). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of CuO-catalyzed acylation of amines and alcohols.Initially, we chose benzoyl chloride and cyclohexylamine as model compounds. When benzoyl chloride was treated with cyclohexylamine (1 equiv) and CuO (1 equiv) in CH
