N,N-Dimethyl- and N,N-diisopropyl-1-halo-2-methyl-l-propenylamines are readily available reagents for the mild deoxyhalogenation of alcohols and hydroxyacids. In this study we showed that the reactivity of the reagents can be tuned by varying the size of the alkyl groups on the reagents: the replacement of methyl by isopropyl groups led to a significant increase of reactivity. We then described a unified procedure for all deoxyhalogenations using the readily available α-chloroenamines as reagents with (bromination, iodination) or without (chlorination) an alkaline bromide or iodide. Finally, we showed that deoxyhalogenation reactions of secondary alcohols were highly stereospecific and generally occurred with inversion of configuration.
