Abstract
The bicyclic guanidine 1, 5, 7-triazabicyclo [4.4. 0] dec-5-ene (TBD) is an effective organocatalyst for the formation of amides from esters and primary amines. Mechanistic and kinetic investigations support a nucleophilic mechanism where TBD reacts reversibly with esters to generate an acyl-TBD intermediate that acylates amines to generate the amides. Comparative investigations of the analogous bicyclic guanidine 1, 4, 6-triazabicyclo [3.3. 0 ...
