Abstract

Chiral BOX-Cu(OTf)2 catalyzed enantioselective aminolactonization of the tert-butyl ester of alkenoic acids has been developed via in situ aziridination using PhINNs as the nitrene source. It provides exclusively trans-γ- and δ-amino lactones including an additional all-carbon quaternary stereo-centre with up to 98% ee in good to excellent yields.
