Reaction of trihaloisocyanuric acids with alkynes: An efficient methodology for the preparation of β-haloenol acetates

Article abstract of DOI:10.24820/ark.5550190.p010.211

The reaction between trihaloisocyanuric acids and alkynes in the presence of acetic acid provides an efficient methodology for preparation of β-haloenol acetates in yields ranging from 34 to 94%, depending on the halogen and alkynes used. This methodology provides an alternative to typical procedures, which usually employ metal catalysis and are limited to terminal alkynes.
