Ethanolysis anilide

Scheme 5.3 (a) Mechanism of ester and anilide ethanolysis catalyzed by dinuclear complexes, showing productive (II) and non-productive (I and III) species and (b) the corresponding intermolecular model reaction based on monomolecular complexes. 

In conclusion, the bis-barium complex of 17 catalyzes the ethanolysis of anilide and ester substrates endowed with a distal carboxylate anchoring group (Table 5.7). The catalyst shows recognition ofthe substrate, induces fairly high reaction rates with catalytic turnover, and is subjected to competitive inhibition by carboxylate anions, as...
