An Ir‐catalyzed remote dearomatizative amidation for the enantioselective construction of chiral spirolactams in 70–93% yield with 81–96% ee was developed. This protocol represented a more atom‐economical approach to chiral spirolactams via Ir‐catalyzed nitrenoid transfer without the introduction of a traceless O‐silyl achiral auxiliary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
