摘要

Facile direct coupling of esters and secondary amines to afford tertiary amides proceeds under microwave irradiation using the air-stable trimethylaluminium source DABAL-Me3 [(DABCO)(AlMe3) 2]. Excellent yields (88–98%) are attained for cyclic secondary amines in reactions that are complete in 5–16min. The process can be extended to the formation of Weinreb amides (upto 76% from commercial MeNHOMe· HCl) in a one-pot procedure ...
