title: Reaction of 2,3-allenoates with TsNBr2 in the presence of base: a facile highly stereoselective synthesis of (1E,2E)-3-bromo-4-oxo-N'-tosyl-2-alkenoxylimidic acid ethyl esters.
abstract: A novel reaction pathway of 2,3-allenoates with an electrophile (TsNBr2) in the presence of K2CO3 to produce (1E,2E)-3-bromo-4-oxo-N'-tosyl-2-alkenoxylimidic acid ethyl esters is reported. The reaction proceeds in a highly stereoselective fashion. A plausible mechanism to rationalize this reaction is also proposed.
