A new versatile approach to synthesise enantioenriched 3-hydroxyoxindoles, 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran and 3-isochromanone derivatives by a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation–cyclization sequence†
Abstract
A novel arylation–cyclization strategy for the highly enantioselective synthesis of titled heterocycles with a quaternary stereogenic center has been developed.
