title: Study on the reactions of azo compounds with acyl halides mediated by Sm/TiCl4.
abstract: Amides can be obtained in good to excellent yield by Sm/TiCl(4) mediated reductive cleavage of N=N bond in azo compounds and successive acylation in one pot. It offers an alternative method for the synthesis of amides from very simple starting materials directly.
