Our paper on CaLB-BOP method, which enables efficient amide bond formation from non-activated ethyl esters and amines under mild conditions, has been published in the RSC Advances. This method outperforms classical enzymatic aminolysis for sterically hindered substrates and operates effectively in water and micellar media.
