Abstract

The use of sulfinylamides generated in situ by the reaction of pure amines with prop-2-ene-1-sulfinyl chloride enables an efficient amidification of carboxylic acids. The method allows the conversion of aliphatic acids, including pivalic acid, aromatic acids, and primary and secondary amines and tolerates acids bearing unprotected alcohol, phenol, and ketone moieties without α-epimerization.
