Investigation of the reaction of α-thioamides, α-esters and α-nitriles with N-halosuccinimides

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Investigation of the reaction of α-thioamides, α-esters and α-nitriles with NBS and NCS is described. The scope of this stereoselective oxidative transformation to the β-haloacrylamides, β-acrylates and β-acrylonitriles has been determined. A mechanistic rationale to explain the observed differences in reactivity between the amide, ester and nitrile series is proposed.
