Amine to Amide
Common Conditions:
Acid Cl + Amine
The reaction of acid chlorides and amines to form amides is very general. Typically the reaction takes place at RT with a suitable base (ex. TEA or DIEA) in an aprotic solvent (ex. DCM, THF, or DMF).
1) SOCl2 2) Amine
Starting from the carboxylic acid a two step process is often used. Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) or oxalyl choride [(COCl)2] is used to make the acid chloride. The crude acid chloride is then isolated and reacted with the amine in a similar manner as described above.
