title: NBS-catalyzed hydroamination and hydroalkoxylation of activated styrenes.
abstract: N-Bromosuccinimide efficiently catalyzes the hydroamination and hydroalkoxylation of activated styrenes using tosylamides, carbamates, and alcohols as the nucleophiles to afford amino and ether derivatives, respectively. Both the processes give good to excellent yields of the products with 100% regioselectivity (Markovnikov fashion). [structure: see text]
