The imide moiety is a well-known structural motif in bioactive compounds and can be utilized as a building block in various processes. A unique feature of the presented method is the use of two different electrophilic acylating reagents, resulting in the formation of unsymmetrical imides with excellent chemoselectivity. Additionally, symmetric imides can be accessed when N-acylglutarimides are used as acylation reagents under similar reaction conditions.
The imide moiety is a well-known structural motif in bioactive compounds and a useful building block in a variety of processes. Using N-acylglutarimides with MN(SiMe3)(2) and either N-acylpyrroles or aryl esters, an operationally convenient method to produce a wide array of diaryl- and alkyl arylimides is presented. Symmetric imides are also accessible when N-acylglutarimides are employed as acylation reagents under similar reaction conditions. A unique feature of this method stems from the use of two different electrophilic acylating reagents leading to the formation of the unsymmetrical imides with excellent chemoselectivity.
