“…Vicinal haloamino moieties are considered as versatile building blocks in organic synthesis because of their synthetic potential for further manipulation by replacement of halogen with diverse nucleophiles. They are synthetic intermediates for functional materials and biologically active compounds. , In the past several decades, a number of procedures have been developed for vicinal aminobromination using various combinations of reagents and catalysts, which includes important examples such as N , N -dihalo sulphonamides, N , N -dihalo carbamates, N -halo carbamates, , N -bromoacetamide, N , N -dibromo phosphoramidate, S , S -dimethyl- N -( p -toluenesulfonyl)-sulfilimine/NBS, TsNBr 2 /TsNH 2, N -methyl- p -toluenesulfonamide/NBS and cyanamide/NBS, KI-NBS-TsNH 2 and others. − Very recently, Yeung and his co-workers reported a catalyst and metal free protocol for the bromoamidation of unactivated olefins using 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenesulfonamide and N -bromosuccinimide as nitrogen and bromine source . In contrast, we have developed a much simpler protocol for the synthesis of aminobromine using a single reagent (Table , entry 6).…”
