The MoS2-catalyzed transamidation reaction with high yields using N,N-dimethylformamide and other amides as carbonyl sources is developed here. The protocol is simple, does not require any additive such as acid, base, ligand, etc., and encompasses a broad substrate scope for primary, secondary and heterocyclic amines. Moreover, the acetylation and propanylation of amines also can be achie...
