Wikipedia
Aminolysis
In chemistry, aminolysis (/am·i·nol·y·sis/) is any chemical reaction in which a molecule is lysed (split into two parts) by reacting with ammonia (NH3) or an amine (any molecule containing a nitrogen atom with a lone pair, :N). The case where the reaction involves ammonia may be more specifically referred to as ammonolysis.

Aminolysis
Aminolysis is any chemical reaction in which a molecule is split into two parts by reacting with a molecule of ammonia or an amine. An example of an aminolysis reaction is the replacement of a halogen in an alkyl group by an amine and the elimination of hydrogen halide. Another common example is the reaction of a primary amine or secondary amine with a carboxylic acid or with a carboxylic acid derivative to form an amide. This reaction is widely used, especially in the synthesis of peptides. On the simple addition of an amine to a carboxylic acid, a salt of the organic acid and base is obtained. To overcome this, the carboxylic acid first needs to be "activated". This is usually done by converting the acid into a more reactive derivative or by using a coupling agent. In some cases, high temperatures can overcome salt formation by driving off water, without the need for "activation" of the carboxyl group. The downside to this simple reaction is that the compounds may decompose at these elevated temperatures. The carboxylic acid derivatives can be esters, anhydrides, acid halides or any other activated species. The choice of activated carboxyl group or coupling agent can be very important in peptide synthesis, as using the wrong one can lead to racemization.
