General description

Rotational isomerism in 3-bromo-2-methylpropene has been studied by IR spectroscopy.

Application

3-Bromo-2-methylpropene may be used:
  • in the synthesis of alkenyl imines
  • in the synthesis of 2-methylpropenyl (“methallyl”) complex, Cp*Os(η3-allyl)Br2
  • in a study of chiral phase transfer alkylation leading to (S)-α-alkylcysteines

We reported efficient enantioselective synthetic methodologies for (R)-alpha-alkylcysteines and (S)-alpha-alkylcysteines. The phase-transfer catalytic alkylation of 2-phenyl-2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester and 2-o-biphenyl-2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester, in the presence of chiral catalysts (1 or 2), gave the corresponding alkylated products, which could
