Abstract

[structure] The reagent [bis(2-methoxyethyl)amino]sulfur trifluoride (Deoxo-Fluor reagent) converts carboxylic acids to the corresponding acid fluorides, which then react with N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine to give the corresponding Weinreb amides in high yields. The reaction proceeds without racemization when optically active acids are used as the starting material. This method is operationally simple and provides the products in high purity.
