title: A Lewis acid palladium(II)-catalyzed three-component synthesis of α-substituted amides.
abstract: A Lewis acid palladium-catalyzed reaction of amides, aryl aldehydes, and arylboronic acids is described. This new method allows for a practical and general synthesis of α-substituted amides from simple, readily available building blocks.
