Notes:
L-Malic acid (2) reacts with trifluoroacetic anhydride under anhydrous conditions to give (S)-trifluoroacetoxy-succinic acid anhydride (3). The anhydride 3 undergoes regioselective ring opening with an excess of anilines or primary aliphatic amines leading to N-substituted-(S)-3-hydroxy-succinamic acids (4a-g). Structural elucidation of the reaction products 4a-g was based on analytical and spectroscopic data and on an X-ray structure analysis of 4b. Secondary aliphatic amines react with 3 by condensation and subsequent elimination to furnish N,N′-disubstituted fumaric acid amides 5a, b. Some N-substituted-2-hydroxysuccinamic acids (7a,b) were also prepared for spectral comparison with the 3-hydroxy compounds.
