Abstract

Carboxamides were obtained efficiently in high yields from azides on reaction with the corresponding pre-formed activated carboxylic acids in a single-step reductive transformation using hydrogen atmosphere (balloon) under Pd/BaSO(4) or Pd/CaCO(3) catalysis. The method is highly chemoselective and compatible with extremely labile functional groups such as benzyl carbamates, benzyl ethers, benzyl esters, and olefins. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
