Several aryl oxamate esters have been investigated as reagents for the identification of aliphatic amines. They react From 6 reagents and 20 amines, These reagents have the great advantage over acid chlorides and readily and selectively with primary aliphatic amines to give oxamides, ArNHCOCONHR. 107 derivatives have been prepared and characterized.aryl isocyanates of being indifferent to water and alcohols. They are selective for primary amines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
