An efficient synthesis of anhydrides of 2-monosubstituted succinic acid monoesters and their application to the Dakin–West reaction: Isolation of some 5-succinyloxyoxazole intermediates
Résumé
A rapid and versatile synthesis of 2-monosubstituted monosuccinates and their bimolecular anhydrides is described. The reaction of these anhydrides with N-Fmoc-protected dipeptides under the modified Dakin–West reaction affords mainly the corresponding 5-succinyloxyoxazoles
