N-(1-Benzotriazol-1-ylalkyl)amides, Versatile α-Amidoalkylation Reagents. 1. α-Amidoalkylation of CH Acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00014a020

N-(1-Benzotriazol-1-ylalkyl)amides 2, easily prepared from an amide and an aldehyde with benzotriazole, react smoothly with CH acids under mild conditions to give the α-amidoalkylation products in good yields.Benzotriazole aminals also react with CH acids in the presence of methyl iodide.
