Abstract

HCl·DMPU induces the formation of (thiomethyl)methyl carbenium ion from DMSO under mild conditions. A subsequent reaction of this electrophile with homoallylic amines generates 4-chloropiperidines in good yields. The method applies to both aromatic and aliphatic amines. The reaction has a broad substrate scope and offers good chemical yields with high functional group tolerance and scalability.
