Abstract
Electrophilic activation of carboxylic anhydride using methanesulfonyl chloride is an efficient method for nucleophilic acylation, which increases product yield by restricting the formation of corresponding acid as a side product. The developed protocol enables one-pot nucleophilic acylation of anhydrides with several types of N- and S-nucleophiles in high yield demonstrating appreciable functional group tolerance.
