Abstract

Vinylic halides having alcohol, sulfonamide, active methine, and thiol moieties as nucleophiles cyclize to hetero-and carbocycles by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution at the sp2 carbon centers. The density functional theory calculations suggest that the cyclization proceeds through SN2-type substitution (the in-plane vinylic nucleophilic substitution, SNVσ), when vinyl halides are substituted with oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon ...
