Abstract: The present review offers an overview of nonclassical (e.g., with no pre- or in situ activation of a carboxylic acid partner) approaches for the construction of amide bonds. The review aims to comprehensively discuss relevant work, which was mainly done in the field in the last 20 years. Organization of the data follows a subdivision according to substrate classes: catalytic direct formation of amides from carboxylic and amines (section 2); the use of carboxylic acid surrogates (section 3); and the use of amine surrogates (section 4). The ligation strategies (NCL, Staudinger, KAHA, KATs, etc.) that could involve both carboxylic acid and amine surrogates are treated separately in section 5.

Efficient electrosynthesis of formamide from carbon monoxide and nitrite on a Ru-dispersed Cu nanocluster catalyst
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors report an electrochemical process for selective synthesis of high-valued formamide from carbon monoxide and nitrite with a Ru1Cu single-atom alloy under ambient conditions, which achieves a high formamide selectivity with Faradaic efficiency of 45.65 ± 0.76% at -0.5 V vs RHE.
Nickel-Catalyzed Deaminative Acylation of Activated Aliphatic Amines with Aromatic Amides via C–N Bond Activation
TL;DR: A Ni-catalyzed reductive deaminative cross-electrophile coupling reaction between Katritzky salts and aromatic amides is described, expected to be useful for late-stage functionalization of complex compounds.

A versatile biosynthetic approach to amide bond formation
TL;DR: A biocatalytic approach to amide synthesis which exploits the diversity of Nature's amide bond forming enzymes, N-acyltransferases (NATs) and CoA ligases (CLs) to allow access to structurally diverse secondary and tertiary amides in high yield using stoichiometric ratios of carboxylic acid and amine coupling partners.

Synthesis of proteins by native chemical ligation
TL;DR: The technique of native chemical ligation is employable for chemically synthesizing full length proteins as discussed by the authors, which are chemically identical to proteins produced by cell free synthesis, and can be refolded and/or oxidized to form native disulfide-containing protein molecules.
