“…Another non-atom economic strategy, elimination, is based on a two-step sequence, which is carried out under basic conditions ( Scheme 1 , route c). The Clemo-Perkin method [ 18 ] and dehydrohalogenation in the presence of phase transfer catalyst [ 19 ] lead to N -vinyl derivatives of indoles [ 20 ], carbazoles [ 21 ], imidazoles [ 22 ], pyrazoles, triazoles, or tetrazoles [ 23 ] and nitrogenous bases [ 24 ]. Several other transformations leading to N -vinyl derivatives, such as dehydrogenation [ 25 ], ethylene insertion [ 26 ], and amine/aldehyde condensation could be also mentioned [ 27 ].…”
