Unlike the previous studies of oxidative triflamidation, the reactions of triflamide with norbornene and norbornadiene in nitrites RCN (R = Me, i-Bu, Ph) or THE in the presence of t-BuOI, NBS or NIS as oxidants proceed with skeletal rearrangements to give bicyclic and tricyclic products of triflamidation or halotriflamidation with incorporation of the solvent molecule fragments. The stereoselectivity of the reaction depends on the oxidant used - t-BuOI or NXS. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
