One-pot simultaneous debrominative decarboxylation and sulfamation of anti-2,3-dibromo-3-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl)propa- noic acid in DMF (for alkyl amines) or DMF-pyridine (for aryl amines) using a diverse range of alkyl and aryl amines under microwave irradiation condition stereoselectively afforded (Z)-4-(2-bromovinyl)benzenesulfonamides in good yields.
A convenient one-pot synthesis of functionalized (E)-2-arylvinyl bromides was achieved by microwave-induced deacetylation and subsequent acylation using dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC) and dimethylamino-pyridine (DMAP) at room temperature from (E)-4-(2-bromovinyl)phenyl acetate.
