title: Triphenylphosphine-catalysed amide bond formation between carboxylic acids and amines.
abstract: Unactivated carboxylic acids and amines undergo organocatalytic Ph3P/CCl4-mediated amide bond formation by employing in situ reduction of triphenylphosphine oxide to triphenylphosphine in the presence of diethoxymethylsilane and bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate.
