BNBTS More than Brominating Agent: Green and One-pot Route for the C-N Bond Formation in Water from Alkenes

In this paper, in addition to introducing efficient method for bromohydrin and bromoether preparation, simple, green and efficient method to C-N bond formation from alkene and N,N'-Dibromo-N,N'-1,2-ethanediyl-bis(ptoluenesulfonamide) [BNBTS] in water was investigated. The reaction between alkenes, β-cyclodexterin, and BNBTS took place in water afterward, by making media basic; it will give the corresponding valuable building blocks in good yields (45-79%).
