An efficient method has been developed for the preparation of yet unknown acyclic mixed anhydrides of carboxylic and sulfinic acids. Sterically hindered 2-methylbut-3-ene-2-sulfinyl carboxylates add primary and secondary amines preferentially onto the carbonyl moieties realizing a new method for the one-pot preparation of carboxamides. It uses 1:1 mixtures of carboxylic acids and amines without a base, requires no excess of reagents, and liberates only volatile coproducts. Protected di- and tripeptides have been prepared in solution without epimerization by application of this method.
