Abstract

The selective monoamidation of diesters and amidation of esters mediated by Lewis acids are described. The selective amidations of dimethyl pyridine-2, 5-dicarboxylate (1) and dimethyl 2, 3-indole-dicarboxylate (4) with primary and secondary amines mediated by MgCl2 or MgBr2 under mild conditions gave the corresponding ester-amides in high yield.
