Significance
Stereoselective aminohalogenation is a challenging problem for organic synthesis. In this report, a convenient procedure for aminobromination of α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by copper powder is described. The method can provide the aminobromination products in almost quantitative yields and complete anti-selectivity with only 1 mol% catalyst loading under aerial conditions. Copper metal was also proven to be more efficient than CuI in this transformation.
