title: Copper-catalyzed synthesis of N-fused heterocycles through regioselective 1,2-aminothiolation of 1,1-dibromoalkenes.
abstract: The first aminothiolation of 1,1-dibromoalkene is described using an inexpensive copper/N,N-dimethylethylenediamine catalyst. The method provides a powerful means of using easily available 1,1-dihaloalkenes as precursors to fused heterocycles.
