Thus, under IR light, cinnamic acid derivatives and amines can produce yields ranging from 50% to 85% of the resulting amide. %K Amides %K Carboxylic Acids %K Amines %K Infrared Light %K Solventless %K CAPE %K CAPA %K Cinnamic Acid Analogs %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=56090
