A Metal-Free Three-Component Reaction of trans--Nitrostyrene Derivatives, Dibromo Amides, and Amines Leading to Functionalized Amidines. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A mild, metal-free, and multicomponent route for the preparation of N-acyl amidines from nitroalkene derivatives, dibromo amides, and amines has been developed that accesses an initial ,-dibromonitroalkane intermediate that can undergo C-C bond cleavage. This protocol offers an alternative approach toward N-acyl amidines and features the rapid construction of amidine frameworks with high diversity and complexity. The procedure also accesses bisamidine and ,-unsaturated amidines which are challenging targets by traditional methods.
