TIN(IV) MEDIATED SYNTHESIS OF N-HALO COMPOUNDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)99321-5

Some representative N-halo compounds like N-bromosuccinimide, N-iodosuccinimide, N-bromophthalimide, N-iodophthalimide, N-iodobenzimidazole and N-iodobenzotriazole have been synthesised in good yields under neutral and mild conditions via an intermediate formed from the parent NH species and bis(tri-n-butyltin) oxide.The tin oxide is recovered as recyclable tri-n-butyltin halide.
