The conversion of carboxylic acids into amides via NCS/triphenylphosphine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508012657

Amides can be generated in very high yields under mild conditions from the corresponding carboxylic acid and amine in the presence of equivalent amounts of triphenylphosphine and N-halosuccinimides, e.g., NCS or NBS.
