strategy for esterification of common amides using fluoride as a catalyst. This method shows high functional group tolerance, and notably it requires only a slight excess of the alcohol nucleophile, which is a rare case in transition‐metal‐free amide transformations. Moreover, this approach may provide a new understanding for further studies on esterification of amides and is expected to stimulate the development

A new conceptual method, the first fluoride and palladium co‐catalyzed conversion of amide to ester through an aerobic oxidative coupling pathway is reported. This work demonstrates the synergistic combination of fluoride and palladium catalysis as a new concept to activate inert amide N–C bonds, which may facilitate the growing utilization of amides as synthons in a variety of transformations.
