40. a) Movassaghi et al. only recently reported on the development of a carbene-catalyzed amidation reaction of unactivated esters with amino alcohols. In contrast, based on preliminary mechanistic studies an alternative, uncharged mechanistic mode of catalysis via a carbene-alcohol intermediate followed by rapid O→N acyl transfer is suggested: M. Movassaghi, M. A. Schmidt, Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 2453-2456;
