β¦ Synopsis
A new method for the synthesis of primary amides was developed in which carboxylic acids were treated with ammonium chloride in the presence of peptide synthesis coupling agents and base at room temperature. These mild conditions allow the conversion of carboxyl groups to primary amides on substrates possessing sensitive functional groups such as esters and the base-labile Fmoc protecting group.

A simple procedure for the synthesis and further functionalization of 4,5-diaminopyrazoles using mild conditions is reported herein. The desired products were obtained in good yield, and the structures have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
