Cuprous potassium amide

Amides may be converted to iV-alkyl and iV-acyl derivatives by appropriate condensation reagents. C-Alkylations of amides can also be carried out to modify the carbon skeleton of a compound. N-arylamides may be prepared by the Goldberg reaction of an amide with an aryl halide in the presence of potassium carbonate and cuprous iodide.
