Über aktivierte Ester. I. Aktivierte Ester der Hippursäure und ihre Umsetzungen mit Benzylamin

Abstract

AbstractIntroduction of electron‐attracting substituents into the alcoholic component of methyl‐hippurate leads to activated esters which are characteristic acylating agents. A number of activated esters of hippuric acid are compared. The best acylating agent seems to be the cyanomethylester which is an easily accessible, cristalline, and stable compound, reacting easily with benzylamine at room temperature.
