Go tandem! The first example of the direct amidation of alcohols with N‐substituted formamides has been developed. A series of tertiary amides, including the challenging N , N ‐dimethyl‐substituted amides, were obtained in moderate to good yields under transition‐metal‐free conditions (see scheme). TBHP= tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide.
