A transition metal-free, diastereospecific reaction between substituted (Z)-1,2-dibromo-3-phenyl-2-propenes and substituted catechols using Cs2CO3 as a base at 140 °C for 18 h delivers exclusively substituted (Z)-2-arylidene-2,3-dihy

Presence of TMSX (X = Cl, Br, I) unleashes the oxidative character of Selectfluor and provides a mild dihalogenation method for 1-arylallenes. Preference for 2,3-addition was observed with TMSCl in MeCN irrespective of the nature of the substituent on the aryl moiety, whereas 1,2-addition was preferred in [BMIM][BF4]. With TMSBr and TMSI only products corresponding to 2,3-addition were observed. Reactions carried out with TMSBr in IL solvents gave the corresponding monobromoalkenes as a major product along with the isomeric dibromo-alkenes. Reaction with NH4SCN provided convenient access to dithiocyanate derivatives. The same products were formed via TMS-NCS/Selectfluor. Formation of common products via TMSNCS and NH 4SCN points to the formation and interplay of SCN+/ NCS+ as incipient electrophiles.
