Chemoselective N‐Acylation of Indoles and Oxazolidinones with Carbonylazoles

Unique reactivity: In the presence of more reactive amine and alcohol functional groups and of carboxylic acids, the chemoselective N-acylation of indoles (see scheme) and oxazolidinones is achieved by taking advantage of the unique reactivity of carbonylazole acylating agents with catalytic amounts of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).
