The core −C(=O)−(N) of amides is called the amide group (specifically, carboxamide group). In the usual nomenclature, one adds the term "amide" to the stem of the parent acid's name. For instance, the amide derived from acetic acid is named acetamide (CH 3 CONH 2). IUPAC recommends ethanamide, but this and related formal names are rarely ...
DMTMM (4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methyl-morpholinium chloride) is an organic triazine derivative commonly used for activation of carboxylic acids, particularly for amide synthesis. Amide coupling is one of the most common reactions in organic chemistry and DMTMM is one reagent used for that reaction. The mechanism of DMTMM coupling ...
Common uses for this carbodiimide include peptide synthesis, protein crosslinking to nucleic acids, but also in the preparation of immunoconjugates. EDC is often used in combination with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) for the immobilisation of large biomolecules. Recent work has also used EDC to assess the structure state of uracil nucleobases in ...
A variety of peptide coupling reagents can also be used to prepare Weinreb–Nahm amides from carboxylic acids. Various carbodiimide-, hydroxybenzotriazole-, and triphenylphosphine-based couplings have been reported specifically for this purpose. [6] [7] Example of Syntheses from Carboxyllic Acids
The intramolecular reaction was not reported until 1991 [5] but has become important in the synthesis of natural products. [6] The reaction is effective with carboxylic acids to give amines (above), and with ketones to give amides (below).
Imidoyl halides are synthesized by combining amides and halogenating agents. The structure of the carboxylic acid amides plays a role in the outcome of the synthesis. Imidoyl chloride can be prepared by treating a monosubstituted carboxylic acid amide with phosgene. [1] RC(O)NHR’ + COCl 2 → RC(NR’)Cl + HCl + CO 2. Thionyl chloride is also ...
In organic synthesis, compounds containing the carbodiimide functionality are used as dehydration agents. Specifically they are often used to convert carboxylic acids to amides or esters. Additives, such as N-hydroxybenzotriazole or N-hydroxysuccinimide, are often added to increase yields and decrease side reactions.
These esters are insoluble (like the N-hydroxysuccinimide esters) and react with amines at ambient temperature to give amides. [1] HOBt is also used for the synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids aside from amino acids. These substrates may not be convertible to the acyl chlorides. [2]
