desired ketones, as the initial adduct is stabilized and doesn't undergo
The amine group is more basic than the "alcohol group" that must leave to form the amide so why wouldn't that protonate first and then just leave (i.e no reaction)? 14, 2250-2253. Esters can be cleaved back into a carboxylic acid and an alcohol by reaction with water and a base.The reaction is called a saponification from the Latin sapo which means soap.The name comes from the fact that soap used to me made by the ester hydrolysis of fats. Esters reaction with ammonia and alkyl amines to yield amides. The reaction is slow and reversible. V. Pace, L. Castoldi, W. Holzer, J.

3) Proton transfer. NHS esters are reactive groups formed by carbodiimide-activation of carboxylate molecules (see Carbodiimide Crosslinker Chemistry).NHS ester-activated crosslinkers and labeling compounds react with primary amines in physiologic to slightly alkaline conditions (pH 7.2 to 9) to yield stable amide bonds. derivative: The organometallic adducts of Weinreb Amides are able to form stable
