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.

A mild chlorination reaction of alcohols was developed using the classical thionyl chloride reagent but with added catalytic titanium(IV) chloride. These reactions proceeded rapidly to afford chlorination products in excellent yields and with preference for retention of configuration. Stereoselectivities were high for a variety of chiral cyclic secondary substrates including sterically hindered systems. Chlorosulfites were first generated in situ and converted to alkyl chlorides by the action of titanium tetrachloride which is thought to chelate the chlorosulfite leaving group and deliver the halogen nucleophile from the front face. To better understand this novel reaction pathway, an ab initio study was undertaken at the DFT level of theory using two different computational approaches. This computational evidence suggests that while the reaction proceeds through a carbocation intermediate, this charged species likely retains pyramidal geometry existing as a conformational isomer stabilized through hyperconjugation (hyperconjomers). These carbocations are then essentially "frozen" in their original configurations at the time of nucleophilic capture.
