摘要

A commercial available compound, N-chlorophthalimide was reported as an efficient nitrogen/chlorine source for the aminohalogenation of beta-nitrostyrenes, which tolerates a wide range of beta-nitrostyrenes substrates with good chemical yields, as well as excellent regioselectivities. The resulted vicinal haloamino nitro products have been converted into several other valuable alpha-amino compounds under simple and mild conditions.
