Key Points

Organocatalyzed techniques improve N-benzylation of amides with enhanced efficiency, demonstrating unique optimization.
The method achieves metal-free reactions that are significant for organic synthesis, avoiding traditional catalysts.
Assessment of reaction parameters reveals potential for broad application in amide functionalization strategies.
This work highlights the applicability of organocatalysis in overcoming challenges presented by poor nucleophilicity of amides.

Implication

This approach demonstrates efficient organocatalyzed N-benzylation of amides, suggesting a new hydrogen borrowing method.

Abstract

The Development of a versatile methodology for the N-benzylation of amides is challenging due to the relatively poor nucleophilicity of the amide nitrogen. Herein, we report the first transition metal-free,...
