ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a selective production method of a mixed acid anhydride and a production method of an amide compound, which methods are useful in the production of pharmaceuticals and intermediates thereof.
DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
A mixed acid anhydride of a carboxylic acid derivative has been known as an intermediate for producing an amide compound. Said anhydride has been typically produced, for example, in a small scale production by quickly adding a carboxylic add activating agent to a mixed solution of a carboxylic acid such as an amino acid having a protected amino group and an organic base, and immediately thereafter, within a few minutes, reacted with amines to produce amides due to its instability to a longer reaction time (J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 89, 5012 (1967), and Org. Reaction, 12, 157 (1962)).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, a mixed acid anhydride can be selectively produced, and an amide compound can be produced in a good chemical or optical yield not only in a laboratory scale but also in an industrial scale of production where a longer reaction time is required.
The present invention provides
