Abstract

A method for converting esters into β-hydroxyamides via their direct reaction with β-aminoalcohols was implemented for the first time on solid support. The transformation is performed under basic conditions and presumably includes transesterification followed by rapid intramolecular O,N-acyl transfer. The technique was successfully tested on monoesters as well as malonates. The transformation of malonates is a key step in the on-resin assembly of bisoxazoline ligands, demonstrated here for the first time.
