Abstract
N-Bromo and N-iodosaccharin react with electron-deficient alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated ketones, acids, esters and nitriles in aqueous organic solvents, yielding the corresponding halohydrins in good yields. The reactions take place at room temperature, mostly within short reaction times and with high antistereoselectivity. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
