N-Boc-Amides in Cross-Coupling Reactions.

Since 2015, the use of amides as electrophilic partners in cross-coupling reactions has experienced exponential growth. Diverse amide derivatives have been studied and among them N-Boc-amides have shown good activities towards various cross-coupling reactions and presents, in our view, an important synthetic usefulness. This review describes the recent developments of these chemical transformations involving N-Boc-amides.
