Abstract

The one-pot formation of amides by oxidative coupling of alcohols and amines via intermediate formation of methyl ester using supported gold and base as catalysts was studied using the Hammett methodology. Determining the relative reactivity of four different para-substituted benzyl alcohol derivatives showed that the first step of the reaction generates a partial positive charge in the benzylic position (ie by hydride abstraction), ...
