CF3CH2OH was found to be a useful solvent for the oxidative rearrangement reactions of aminals promoted by N-chlorosuccinimide, which proceed via the intermediacy of in situ formed chloro-aminals and that produce 3,4-dihydroquinazolines.
A halogen-induced oxidative rearrangement of N,O-ketals prepared from cyclobutanones, leading to pyrrolidone derivatives, is developed. The reaction proceeds via an iminium ether intermediate and, depending on the reaction medium, two types of pyrrolidone derivative, containing a halogen atom or hydroxyl group, can be obtained.
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.
