LiNTf2-Catalyzed Aminolysis of Lactones with Stoichiometric Quantities of Amines
Publication History

Abstract
LiNTf2 in the reaction of lactones with amines is able to activate cyclic esters towards ring opening, thus leading to clean open-chain amides under mild conditions and using a stoichiometric amount of amine. The generality of the method was demonstrated by a range of selected lactones and amines.
Key words
amides - ring opening - Lewis acids - lactones - catalysis

9General Procedure for Lactone Aminolysis; Synthesis of N -Allyl-4-hydroxybutyramide(3): To a solution of γ-butyrolactone (1; 1 equiv) and allylamine (2; 1 equiv) in anhyd CHCl3 (0.5 mL/mmol) was added under a nitrogen atmosphere LiNTf2 (0.5 equiv). The mixture was stirred in a sealed vial at 85 °C (oil bath) for 40 h, then it was washed with a sat. NaHCO3 solution, and the organic phase was evaporated to give the title product as a clean viscous oil (99%). 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.62 (br, 1 H, NH), 5.73-6.03 (m, 1 H, =CH), 5.04-5.23 (m, 2 H, =CH2), 4.02 (br, 1 H, OH), 3.88 (t, J = 5.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.72 (t, J = 5.5 Hz, 2 H), 2.40 (t, J = 6.2 Hz, 2 H), 1.79-1.96 (m, 2 H). 13C NMR (50 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 178.2 (s, C=O), 137.1 (d, =CH), 119.4 (t, =CH2), 65.1 (t, CH2), 45.4 (t, CH2), 36.4 (t, CH2), 31.5 (t, CH2).
