Abstract

Selective formation of carboxamides in an alcohol or water by an exceptionally convenient one-step procedure in which a condensing agent is simply added to a mixture of acids and amines has been achieved successfully by using a new condensing agent, 4-(4, 6- dimethoxy-1, 3, 5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMT-MM). Activation of carboxylic acids by DMT-MM in the presence of amines and subsequent aminolysis of the ...
