title: Facile amide formation via S-nitrosothioacids.
abstract: Here we report a novel amide bond formation strategy from simple thioacid and amine starting materials. The reaction is mediated by unstable but very reactive S-nitrosothioacid intermediates. This fast reaction under mild conditions should be useful in synthesis.
