The reaction of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) and ammonia/amines provides the corresponding primary, secondary, and tertiary amides under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. TBPB is an efficient and highly chemoselective benzoylating reagent for aliphatic amines in the ...
1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin(DIH) exhibits a reactivity similar to molecular iodine but is easier to manage since it does not sublime as a solid reagent. Additionally, DIH serves as a viable substitute for NIS (N-iodosuccinimide) in the iodination of arenes or enols.
