Exploring the behavior of the NFSI reagent as a nitrogen source

The diverse biological activities of nitrogen-containing compounds make the construction of the C-N bond of great importance. As N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide, one of the most abundant chemical feedstock, has a dual behaviour, i.e. as an electrophilic fluorination and amidation source, it attracts the attention of synthetic chemists for exploitation. This review comprehensively summarizes the significant progress of the efficient and mild amidation...
