Transamidification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In organic chemistry, transamidification is the process of exchanging the subunits of a peptide, amide or ester compound with another amine or fatty acid to produce a new amide or peptide. The process has been used for the production of emulsifiers and dispersing agents[1] and oil drilling fluids.[2]
