“…One of these reactions is aminocarbonylation, which has great importance concerning the synthesis of simple building blocks and the functionalization of biologically important skeletons. Carboxamides can be synthesized from easily available starting materials with aminocarbonylation, although the conventional carboxylic acid−carboxylic halide−carboxamide route is difficult to prepare because it has no notable yield in the implementation [ 29 , 30 ]. Moreover, our research group has been investigating this reaction in the conventional solvent DMF for years [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], and thanks to the ascertainments of the groups from Skrydstrup [ 40 ] and Mika [ 41 , 42 , 43 ], our interest has been turned to the investigation of green solvents.…”
