Abstract

N-Acylated amines are ubiquitous in nature. Selective N-acylation at neutral conditions remains a key area of interest. Here we are reporting the copper sulfate-mediated highly selective, mild, and rapid N-acylation of various aliphatic and aromatic amines using thioacids in methanol at neutral conditions. All N-acylated products of primary and secondary amines were isolated in good to excellent yields. This method is found to be ...
