Abstract
Hydrazides were treated with ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in the presen ce of the appropriate alcohol as a nucleophile to afford esters in good yie lds. Reactions took place exclusively at the hydrazino moiety even when oth er sensitive groups were present in either of the partners. (C) 1999 Elsevi er Science Ltd, All rights reserved.
