Abstract
An aminohalogenation of cinnamic esters with N,N-dichloro-p-toluenesulfonamide provides vicinal chloroamine derivatives in very good yields. The reaction was performed in MeCN using ZnCl2 or Cu(OTf)2 as catalyst. The stereochemistry was unambiguously determined by transforming one of the products to a known sample.
