Efficient catalytic enantioselective Nazarov cyclizations of divinyl ketoesters

Abstract

An efficient catalytic enantioselective Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketoesters was developed using a chiral BOX/Cu(II) complex, which provides facile access to a variety of optically active multi-substituted cyclopent-2-enone esters in 78–95% yields with 78–90% ee.
