Abstract
A stereocontrolled intramolecular iron-mediated diene/olefin cyclocoupling reaction has been explored using vinyl ethers as the olefin partners. Spirolactams with functionalized (alkoxymethyl) side chains can be formed under thermal conditions. With a methoxy substituent on the diene, demetalation and hydrolysis of the cyclocoupling product afforded a single diastereomer.
