Microwave-Assisted Silver(I)-Mediated Selective O-Alkylation of Aromatic Imidate Systems

Abstract

A novel microwave-assisted protocol has been developed for the selective O-alkylation of aromatic imidate systems with various halides under microwave irradiation using silver carbonate as the base. Products were obtained in short reaction time and in excellent yields.

Key words

O-alkylation - silver carbonate - microwave - 2-pyridones - 2-(1H)-pyrazinones
