title = "Direct synthesis of amides by the dehydrogenative coupling of amines with alcohols or esters: manganese pincer complex as catalyst",
abstract = "The first example of base‐metal‐catalysed synthesis of amides from the coupling of primary amines with either alcohols or esters is reported. The reactions are catalysed by a new manganese pincer complex and generate hydrogen gas as the sole byproduct, thus making the overall process atom‐economical and sustainable.",
