BCl3 catalyzed Z-selective intramolecular chlorocarbamoylation of alkynes/allenes†
Abstract
A metal-free stereoselective intramolecular chlorocarbamoylation of alkynes/allenes driven by BCl3 was described, which provides a general and practical method for constructing versatile and chlorinated methylene lactams or tetrahydroisoquinolinones with (Z) geometry at the double bond, featuring a stereochemically defined tetrasubstituted chloroethene.
