Catalytic amidation of natural and synthetic polyol esters with sulfonamides

Triacylglycerides are naturally abundant and renewable feedstock, but their chemical transformation is hindered by their stability. Here, under Lewis acid catalysis, the authors report the selective alkyl C–O bond conversion of triglycerides into C–N bonds and even apply this efficient method to PET...
