A method for the formation of intramolecular amide bonds by the action of cyanogen, under mild reaction conditions, in the preparation of cyclic amides, including lactams, in biologically active compounds. A compound containing at least one carboxylic acid group and at least one primary or secondary amino group is reacted with cyanogen to form an intramolecular amide bond. The method has utility in the synthesis of B-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins, cephalosporins, and their derivatives, in enzyme modification, in cyclization of peptides, and in covalent cross-linking of proteins.
