Synthesis of amides with EDC and HOBt
« on: June 12, 2006, 10:15:00 AM »

I'm planning to run some coupling reactions with carboxylic acid and amine, using EDC and HOBt, to make amides.  I was wondering if the reaction would still work if I were to use carboxylic acid salt, instead of the neutral carboxylic acid?

Nope the activation mechanism with carbodiimides requier COOH and COO:-Na+ cant effectively activate it.
