Abstract

Important advancements have been made in recent years in the development of chemoselective additions of nucleophiles to well known inert amide carbonyls in the presence of multi-electrophilic substrates. Herein, we present the most relevant results showing how carbonyl amides can be chemoselectively functionalised in the presence of electrophilic functionalities such as Weinreb amides.
