Abstract
A practical and concise route to dibromoalkenes directly from activated alcohols in good to excellent yields using a new Tandem Oxidation Procedure (TOP) is reported. We also describe the use of these dibromoalkenes as intermediates in a one-pot route to 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazoles and in the synthesis of bromoalkynes through MTBD-induced elimination.
