2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl Chlorooxoacetate-Universal Reagent for One-Pot Parallel Synthesis of N1-Aryl-N2-alkyl-Substituted Oxamides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/acscombsci.5b00091

A one-pot parallel synthesis of N¹-aryl-N²-alkyl-substituted oxamides with 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl chlorooxoacetate was developed. The synthesis of a library of 45 oxamides revealed higher efficiency of this reagent over the known ethyl chlorooxoacetate. The reagent was successfully used to prepare the known oxamide-containing HIV entry inhibitors.
