A straightforward chromatography-free preparation of Weinreb amides starting from acid halides has been achieved in the biphasic medium 2-MeTHF/water. Analytically pure compounds were isolated in excellent yields simply after removal of 2-MeTHF, which absolutely avoids the use of any contaminant organic solvent within the whole process due to its (practically) immiscibility with water.
在 2-MeTHF/
水的双相介质中,实现了从酸性卤化物开始的 Weinreb 酰胺的直接无色谱制备。由于 2-MeTHF 与
水(实际上)不相溶,因此在整个制备过程中完全避免了使用任何污染性有机溶剂。
