Abstract:
A concise synthesis of stereodefined C-substituted morpholines, piperazines, azepines, and oxazepines in moderate to excellent yields (27% to 75%) is reported by reaction of 1,2- or 1,3-amino alcohol/1,2- or 1,3-diamine with an α-phenylvinylsulfonium salt. High levels of regio- and diastereoselectivity (from 2:1 to >20:1) are observed through judicious choice of base (Cs2CO3) and solvent (CH2Cl2). Reactions are performed at ambient temperature and open to air and do not require anhydrous solvent. The deprotection of the N-sulfonamide protecting groups (N-Ts and N-Ns) is also demonstrated. Factors affecting regio- and diastereocontrol are discussed.

Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.
