Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Enantioselective gamma-Lactams Formation by Intramolecular C-H Amidation of 1,4,2-Dioxazol-5-ones
We report the Ru-catalyzed enantioselective annulation of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to furnish gamma-lactams in up to 97% yield and 98% ee via intramolecular carbonylnitrene C-H insertion. By employing chiral diphenylethylene diamine (dpen) as ligands bearing electron-withdrawing arylsulfonyl substituents, the reactions occur with remarkable chemo- and enantioselectivities; the competing Curtius-type rearrangement was largely suppressed. Enantioselective nitrene insertion to allylic/propargylic C-H bonds was also achieved with remarkable tolerance to the C=C and C C bonds.
