β¦ Synopsis
The title reagent reacts with 7 and 6 lactones to provide hydroxy amides which can be easily converted into protected N-acyl indoles.
Mild saponification provides indole and the protected hydroxy acid.
Several years ago, Weinreb et reported1 a mild method for the conversion of esters into amides. This involved reaction of the ester with dialkylaluminum amides derived from
