title: The direct amidation of α-diketones with amines via TBHP-promoted oxidative cleavage of C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) bonds.
abstract: A novel and efficient direct amidation of α-diketones with amines via TBHP-promoted oxidative cleavage of C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) bonds has been developed. The strategy provides an alternative approach to amides under metal-free conditions.
