Twisted Amides as Selective Acylating Agents for Hydroxyl Groups under Neutral Conditions: Models for Activated Peptides during Enzymatic Acyl Transfer Reaction
The highly twisted amide 2 served as a selective acylating agent; for dials under neutral conditions. The reaction of primary-secondary dials with 2 led to the corresponding primary alkyl monopivalates. For dials containing alcoholic and phenolic hydroxyl groups, alcoholic hydroxyl groups were selectively acylated under neutral conditions, whereas, the opposite selectivity was observed under basic conditions, similar to the cases using acyl halides or acid anhydrides. Although 1 and 3 were unreactive to alcohols, 5-10 having substituent groups at C-4 were reactive to alcohols to give the corresponding acetates or benzoates.

organocatalyst at room temperature in high yields and excellent selectivity. It also shows the potential to selectively benzoylate primary alcoholic groups of aminoarylalkanols and primary-secondary diols as well as primary amino group of alkyl amines in the presence of aryl amines under similar conditions. A rationale for the selectivity and efficiency of the reaction has been provided.
