We report a metal-free method for the synthesis of vicinal chloroamines by intermolecular aminochlorination of unactivated alkenes. This regioselective reaction is inexpensive, atom economical, and environmentally benign and tolerates various functional groups. The aminochlorinated product can be easily deprotected and subsequently transformed into valuable compounds.
