Reactivity Study of 2,4-Dinitrobuta-1,3-Dienes Towards Mono-, Poly-, and Persulfanyl Conjugated Dienes by Regiospecific Vinyl Group Activation

Abstract

Polyhalogenated nitrobuta-1,3-dienes are unique reagents in organic synthesis and have been employed in several well-known and recently developed areas of application. This study describes the scope and application of 1,1,3,4-tetrachloro-2,4-dinitrobuta-1,3-diene in organic synthesis as well as methods for the preparation of poly- and perfunctionalized 2,4-dinitrobuta-1,3-dienes, and characterization of all obtained compounds.
