title: Ring-opening reactions of N-methyl cyclic ketene-N,O-acetals with carboxylic acids, nitrophenol, and arylthiols.
abstract: Ring-opening reactions of N-methyl cyclic ketene-N,O-acetals with carboxylic acids, 4-nitrophenol, and arylthiols afforded amidoesters, amidoaryl ether, and amidothioethers, respectively, in good yields via an acid-catalyzed S(N)2 mechanism.
