A direct route: The N‐transacylation of secondary amides to their perfluorinated analogues with the possibility of subsequent conversion into a normal amide is reported (see scheme). This reaction occurs in the presence of a variety of functional groups that are labile to the hydrolysis conditions required by classical N‐transacylation.
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.
