Abstract

Amide bond formation is a common transformation in medicinal chemistry laboratories. Starting from esters, a three-step sequence of hydrolysis, activation and treatment with an amine is performed. Transfer of this process to larger scale requires further reaction optimization and safety investigations leads to loss in productivity. Aluminium-mediated amine activation is frequently employed to avoid the three step sequence. 18 Trimethylaluminium, the most commonly ...
