Abstract
The reaction of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCICA) and triphenylphosphine in the presence of a carboxylic acid results in the in situ formation of the corresponding acid chloride under mild conditions. Subsequent addition of amines or alcohols, in the presence of a tertiary amine affords the corresponding amides, or esters, in good to excellent yields. The methodology was applied to the synthesis of a dipeptide.
