Abstract
(formula presented) A new aminohalogenation process has been developed for the synthesis of vicinal haloamine derivatives using cinnamic esters as substrates. The reaction was performed in CH3CN using ZnCl2 or Cu(OTf)2 as catalyst and N,N-dichloro-p-toluenesulfonamide as chlorine/nitrogen source. Good to excellent yields and regio-and stereoselectivities have been obtained. The stereochemistry was unambiguously determined by transforming one of the products to a known sample.
