title: Tf2NH-Catalyzed Amide Synthesis from Vinyl Azides and Alcohols.
abstract: Triflimide (Tf2NH) specifically catalyzed reactions of alcohols and vinyl azides, enabling efficient construction of amides with C-C bond formation through nucleophilic attack of vinyl azides onto the putative carbocation intermediates derived from alcohols are described.
