Preparations of carboxamides and peptides are performed in high yields from free carboxylic acids and amines by dehydration condensation using di(2-Pyridyl) carbonate (DPC) or O,O′-Di(2-Pyridyl) thiocarbonate (DPTC) in the presence of a catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP). The formation of 2-Pyridyl esters, key intermediates of the reaction, from carboxylic acids by using DPC proceeded faster than by using DPTC; therefore, the former carbonate is more efficiently employed in the above condensation reactions.
