Triphenylphosphine oxide-catalyzed stereoselective poly- and dibromination of unsaturated compounds

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jul 25;50(58):7817-20. doi: 10.1039/c4cc02847c.

Abstract

A novel PPh3O catalyzed bromophosphonium salt-mediated dibromination of α,β-unsaturated esters and β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters has been developed. The products were obtained with good to excellent yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. This dibromination reaction is a good complement to the field of dibromination.
