Abstract

Abstract Image

A practical and scaleable route for the regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of vicinal chloramines from electron-deficient olefins and Chloramine-T promoted by Brønsted acids in water has been realized for the first time. This novel protocol is efficient, mild, ecofriendly, and broadly applicable for the aminochlorination of various electron-deficient olefins including α,β-unsaturated ketones, cinnamate, and cinnamide. Water represents as a privileged solvent for the aminochlorination reaction in our system.
