Hypervalent iodine-triggered transformation of homopropargyl sulfonamides into dihalo-2,3-dihydropyrroles

Org Biomol Chem. 2017 Jan 25;15(4):796-800. doi: 10.1039/c6ob02536f.

Abstract

A novel hypervalent iodine-triggered hydroamination of homopropargyl sulfonamides with copper halides to obtain dihalo-2,3-dihydropyrroles was efficiently developed. The reaction can provide access to chloro/bromo-cyclization extended from iodocyclization to prepare potentially useful halogenated building blocks for drug development with broad functional group tolerance and high yield yet in a short time.
