RESUMO
Treatment of a series of alpha-thioamides with N-chlorosuccinimide results in efficient transformation to the analogous alpha-thio-beta-chloroacrylamides. The mechanistic pathway has been established through isolation and characterisation of intermediate compounds. The scope of the transformation has been explored-aryl and alkylthio substituents, primary, secondary and tertiary amides can be employed. In most instances, the chloroacrylamides are formed exclusively as the Z-stereoisomer; however, with tertiary propanamides or with amides derived from butanoic or pentanoic acid a mixture of E- and Z-stereoisomers is formed.
