Abstract Sn(OTf) 2 ‐catalyzed 1,3‐aminobromination of donor–acceptor cyclopropanes with various sulfonyl amides or electron‐poor anilines and N ‐bromosuccinimide is reported. These experimentally straightforward reactions occurred with complete regio‐ and stereospecificity (for anilines) to give γ‐aminated α‐brominated malonic diesters in good to excellent yields (up to 98 %). These compounds served as valuable substrates for subsequent reactions to provide substituted azetidines and γ‐lactams in high yields.
