Abstract

A mild and efficient protocol for the preparation of 1,2-dichloroalkane derivatives from olefins using NH4Cl and Oxone® at room temperature is described. A variety of terminal, internal, and cyclic alkenes reacted smoothly to give the corresponding dichlorinated products in good to excellent yields. Moreover, 1,2-disubstituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical olefins dichlorinated with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity. This method precludes the use of acidic additives and transition metals in the synthesis of vicinal dichlorides.
