Abstract
We disclose herein a catalyst-free, room-temperature protocol for the highly regio- and stereoselective alkenyl C(sp2)–H chlorination of diverse enamides with commercially available, inexpensive N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) as the electrophilic chlorinating reagent under exceedingly mild conditions. This operationally simple approach features a remarkably broad substrate scope and accommodates excellent functional group tolerance, affording a diverse range of synthetically valuable geometrically defined β-chlorinated enamides in high yields with an exclusive E configuration.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
