Graphical Abstract

Abstract

A variety of different N-[2-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)pent-4-enylidene]amines and N-(2,6-dichlorohex-4-enylidene)amines was prepared for the first time, and their reactivity as eligible building blocks for the synthesis of biologically relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds was studied. In this way, a convenient entry into functionalized 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes, piperidines, pyridines, pyrroles, and tetrahydroindoles was developed, pointing to the broad synthetic flexibility of these dichlorinated imine substrates.
