Abstract

A new method for oxidative synthesis of amides from alkynes and amines in high yields (up to 96%) using [Mn(2,6-Cl2TPP)Cl] 1 as a catalyst and Oxone/H2O2 as an oxidant in aqueous medium has been developed. This method could be used for N-terminal α-amino group ligation of unprotected peptides with aryl, aliphatic, and internal alkynes under mild conditions.
