Manganese(II)-Catalyzed Esterification of N-β-Hydroxyethylamides
摘要:
A catalyst system of manganese with 2,2-bipyridine for amide alcoholysis of N-beta-hydroxyethylamides is described. This protocol enabled selective cleavage of the amide bond through a mechanism involving sequential N,O-acyl rearrangement and transesterification.
