Description
Summary:The acylation of amines has always attracted a deep interest as a synthetic route due to its high versatility in organic chemistry and biochemical processes. The purpose of this article is to present a mechanochemical acylation procedure based on the use of acyl-saccharin derivatives, namely <i>N</i>-formylsaccharin, <i>N</i>-acetylsaccharin, and <i>N</i>-propionylsaccharin. This protocol furnishes a valuable solvent-free alternative to the existing processes and aims to be highly beneficial in multi-step procedures due to its rapid and user-friendly workup.
