Amide Bond Formation via Reversible, Carboxylic Acid-Promoted Lactone Aminolysis

A rapid carboxylic acid-promoted lactone aminolysis is reported. A number of carboxylic acids were found to promote this amide bond-forming transformation, with aliphatic acids being the most efficient. This reaction is an equilibrium process (K[subscript eq] ≈ 1.8), and mechanistic investigations a...
