This short review is aimed at giving an updated overview of α- haloenamides synthesis. α-Haloenamides constitute a versatile sub-class of enamides. They can be prepared from ynamides, acetamides, or gem- dibromo olefins in the presence of N-nucleophiles and easily converted into more elaborated structures through halogen-metal exchange and transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
