Abstract
Amides and peptides are ubiquitous functional groups found in several natural and artificial materials, and they are essential for the advancement of life and material sciences. In particular, their relevance in clinical medicine and drug discovery has increased in recent years. Dehydrative condensation of readily available carboxylic acids with amines is the most "direct" method for amide synthesis; however, this methodology generally requires a stoichiometric amount of condensation agent (coupling reagent). Catalytic direct dehydrative amidation has become an "ideal" methodology for synthesizing amides from the perspective of green chemistry, with water as the only byproduct in principle, high atom efficiency, environmentally friendly, energy saving, and safety. Conversely, organoboron compounds, such as boronic acids, which are widely used in various industries as coupling reagents for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions or pharmaceutical structures, are environmentally friendly molecules that have low toxicity and are easy to handle. Based on the chemical properties of organoboron compounds, they have potential Lewis acidity and the ability to form reversible covalent bonds with dehydration, making them attractive as catalysts. This review explores studies on the development of direct dehydrative amide/peptide bond formation reactions from carboxylic acids using organoboron catalysis, classifying them based on chemical bonding and catalysis over approximately 25 years, from the early developmental days to 2023.

Abstract
An efficient methodology for the photoredox- and nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of (hetero)aryl bromides was developed. The utilization of readily available oxamic acids, the application of a broadly used organic photoredox catalyst (4CzIPN), and mild reaction conditions make this transformation an appealing alternative to classical amidation procedures. The generation of carbamoyl radicals was supported by trapping reactions with a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst in the presence of D2O, yielding the deuterated formamide. The generality of this deuteration protocol was confirmed for various oxamic acids.

Abstract
In this study, we report amino acid amidation using hexylsilane and a catalytic amount of 1,2,4-triazole. The conventional protection/deprotection method for the α-amino group of amino acids is not required. The corresponding α-amino amides were obtained in moderate to good yields with low to no racemization.

Abstract
A simple, broadly applicable protocol for amidation and esterification reactions is described. Thereby, 4-acetamidophenyl triflimide (AITF), a crystalline stable reagent, is employed for the activation of carboxylic acids. The use of AITF as a coupling agent is demonstrated in the synthesis of peptides, amides and esters under mild conditions in good to excellent yields. Notably, peptide segment condensations were also accomplished. A diverse array of synthetic protocols showcasing a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility were accomplished. Herein, we systematically summarized the use of AITF in peptide synthesis strategies.

Abstract
While certain ternary spinel oxides have been well-explored with colloidal nanochemistry, notably the ferrite spinel family, ternary manganese (Mn)-based spinel oxides have not been tamed. A key composition is cobalt (Co)-Mn oxide (CMO) spinel, CoxMn3-xO4, that, despite exemplary performance in multiple electrochemical applications, has few reports in the colloidal literature. Of these reports, most show aggregated and polydisperse products. Here, we describe a synthetic method for small, colloidally stable CMO spinel nanocrystals with tunable composition and low dispersity. By reacting 2+ metal-acetylacetonate (M(acac)2) precursors in an amine solvent under an oxidizing environment, we developed a pathway that avoids the highly reducing conditions of typical colloidal synthesis reactions; these reducing conditions typically push the system toward a monoxide impurity phase. Through surface chemistry studies, we identify organic byproducts and their formation mechanism, enabling us to engineer the surface and obtain colloidally stable nanocrystals with low organic loading. We report a CMO/carbon composite with low organic contents that performs the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.87 V vs RHE in 1.0 M potassium hydroxide at 1600 rpm, rivaling previous reports for the highest activity of this material in ORR electrocatalysis. We extend the general applicability of this procedure to other Mn-based spinel nanocrystals such as Zn-Mn-O, Fe-Mn-O, Ni-Mn-O, and Cu-Mn-O. Finally, we show the scalability of this method by producing inorganic nanocrystals at the gram scale.

Abstract
Kinetic profiling has shown that a (DHQD)2PHAL-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric alkene bromoesterification reaction is inhibited by primary amides, imides, hydantoins, and secondary cyclic amides, which are byproducts of common stoichiometric bromenium ion sources. Two approaches to resolving the inhibition are presented, enabling the (DHQD)2PHAL loading to be dropped from 10 to 1 mol % while maintaining high bromoester conversions in 8 h or less. Iterative post-reaction recrystallizations enabled a homochiral bromonaphthoate ester to be synthesized using only 1 mol % (DHQD)2PHAL.

Abstract
An unprecedented DMAP-catalysed amidation of aryl and alkyl carboxylic acids with organo-cyanamides has been developed. Unlike the use of N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) as an electrophilic cyanating reagent, an unusual desulfonylation/decyanation reaction model has been disclosed for the first time. Remarkable features of this reaction include readily available substrates, simple operation and broad scope, enabling the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse amides. The synthetic utility of this protocol was demonstrated by the late-stage amidation of bioactive carboxylic acids and a scale-up reaction.

Abstract
We report the use of N-2,4-dinitrophenyltetrazoles as latent active esters (LAEs) in the synthesis of amide bonds. Activating the tetrazole generates an HOBt-type active ester without the requirement for exogenous coupling agents. The methodology was widely applicable to a range of substrates, with up to quantitative yields obtained. The versatility and functional group tolerance were exemplified with the one-step synthesis of various pharmaceutical agents and the N-acylation of resin-bound peptides.

Abstract
A novel and efficient catalyst- and activating agent-free amidation method via direct amidation of carboxylic acids where carbodiimides act as a reagent instead of an activating agent is reported. The reaction is conducted under non-traditional coupling conditions where a higher temperature is employed. Besides not using stoichiometric ratios of activating agent or catalyst, this approach is made even more attractive by occurring in the presence of the environmentally friendly and recyclable non-toxic solvent of DMSO. A wide variety of benzylic, aliphatic, α,β-unsaturated and aromatic carboxylic acids provide related amides in up to 95% yield. The excellent yield from a gram-scale reaction shows that this application is particularly convenient for larger-scale synthesis applications.
