Dichlorination of Alkenes Using 1,3‐Dichloro‐5,5‐Dimethylhydantoin and ZnCl2

Abstract: Electron‐deficient and electron‐rich alkenes can be efficiently converted to vicinal dichlorides employing a mixture of 1,3‐dichloro‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) and zinc chloride. This straightforward protocol offers an easier to handle and safer alternative to the use of chlorine gas or other common chlorinating agents. Experimental evidences suggest that the solubility of the chloride salt is essential for the formation of a chlorine/trichloride anion as the effective chlorinating agent.

“…Methyl cinnamate was also readily chlorinated, giving the corresponding dichlorides ( 21 and 22 ) in a combined yield of 56 % and a 2 : 1 d.r. in favour of the anti‐isomer [21] . Minor amounts of the elimination product, methyl β‐chlorocinnamate ( 23 ), were also isolated.…”

“…They have been employed as a chlorine source and found useful in a range of synthetic transformations. 46,47 These substrates have significant operational advantages including commercial availability, air and moisture stability, general high reactivity, and easy product purification process. N-halogenated hydantoins have low solubility in water, but ppm levels are enough to serve as bleaching agents, antiseptics, and fungicides as it slowly decomposes to produce free halogen in water.…”
