Highly stereoselective intramolecular Buchner reaction of diazoacetamides catalyzed by a Ru(ii)–Pheox complex†
Abstract
This work reports the first efficient enantioselective intramolecular Buchner reaction of diazoacetamides. The Ru(II)–Pheox catalyst was shown to be highly efficient in this transformation in terms of both the regio- and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) giving the desired products in quantitative yield.
