35. 2-symmetry. The stereoview of the calculated structure A was shown in the Supporting Information.
36. The distance between the two oxygen atoms of the extended conformation of 1,6-hexanediol is estimated to be 7.3Å by molecular modeling. The sum (10.0Å) of 7.3Å and the hydrogen-bonding distance (2.7Å) seems too long for effective molecular recognition by acylpyridinium ion A. This could be the reason of poor selectivity of monoacylation of diols such as 1,6-hexanediol and 1,7-heptanediol. In contrast, acylation of diols having a chain length shorter than five atoms proceeds with high selectivity for monoacylation. The effective distance (7.3Å) shown in Figure2 b is expected to be adjustable and therefore shortened by the bond rotation around C2-CO(NHR).
37. The predominant formation of the monoacylate 2 a (2 a / 3 a =3.5) by DMAP-catalysis observed in entry8 in Table2 is assumed to be due to the initial low concentration of 2 a in the reaction medium and low conversion (37 % recovery of 1 a).
