Abstract
The first organo-catalyzed silylthioesterification of a carboxylic acid and a commercially available mercaptoorganosilane results in the in situ production of an O-silylthionoester. Subsequent amine addition forms amides in an operationally simple one-pot procedure without removal of water. The scope and efficiency of these reactions with respect to the catalyst, carboxylic acid, amine, [Si─S] moiety, and solvent are investigated. A number of functionalities are tolerated in the two-step amidation including alkene, alkyne, alkyl and aryl halides, benzylic ethers, and heterocycles with free coordinating sites.
