A novel annulation reaction of two enamine molecules with iodine under basic conditions to form 4-functionalized imidazolium salts has been established. In this reaction, iodine acts as both an iodinating reagent and a Lewis acid catalyst. Features of this synthetic method include facilitative preparation of substrates, no use of transition metals, mild reaction conditions, simplicity of operation

A trisulfur-radical-anion (S3̇–)-triggered C(sp2)–Hamination of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives with simple amines has been demonstrated. This protocol provides convenient access to a variety of synthetically valuable N-unprotected and secondary β-enaminones with absolute Z selectivity and tertiary β-enaminones with E selectivity.
