Aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids react with 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole (1) or 1,1'-oxalyldi(1,2,4-triazole) (2) in acetonitrile for 40 min at 40 degC to give the corresponding 1-acylazole intermediates (11), which promptly undergo aminolysis and alcoholysis to form amides (13) including dipeptides (14), esters (16), and thioesters (19).These findings show that both 1 and 2 can be utilized as condensing reagents for the synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives.Keywords --- 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole; 1,1'-oxalyldi(1,2,4-triazole); 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole; 1-acylazole; condensing reagent; amidation; esterification; dipeptide; aminolysis; alcoholysis
