Abstract
[reaction: see text] A new iron(III) halide-promoted aza-Prins cyclization between gamma,delta-unsaturated tosylamines and aldehydes provides six-membered azacycles in good to excellent yields. The process is based on the consecutive generation of gamma-unsaturated-iminium ion and further nucleophilic attack by the unsaturated carbon-carbon bond. Homoallyl tosylamine leads to trans-2-alkyl-4-halo-1-tosylpiperidine as the major isomer. In addition, the alkyne aza-Prins cyclization between homopropargyl tosylamine and aldehydes gives 2-alkyl-4-halo-1-tosyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines as the only cyclic products.
