Traceless selenocarboxylates for the one-pot synthesis of amides and derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tet.2020.131834

We have recently reported a one-pot procedure for glycosyl amides synthesis using selenocarboxylate as traceless reagent. Herein, we present a further application of selenocarboxylate-azide reaction for amide bond formation on a broader range of substrates, including heterocyclic systems and fatty acid. This method proved to be highly efficient for the synthesis of primary and secondary amides, sulfonamides, imides, phosphoramide and also carbamate.
