Asymmetric iodolactonization of gamma- and delta-unsaturated carboxylic acids has been explored in the presence of six different chiral organocatalysts 5-8. The catalyst 6b was found to facilitate the cyclization of 5-arylhex-5-enoic acids 1 to the corresponding iodolactones 2 with up to 96% ee. By this protocol, unsaturated carboxylic acids are converted enantioselectively to synthetically useful delta-lactones in high yields using commercially available NIS. Apparently, both hydrogen bonding and aryl/aryl interactions are important for efficient stereodifferentiation.

The best catalyst enabled the cyclization of several 5-arylhex-5-enoic acids into the corresponding bromolactones with up to 96% ee and in high to excellent chemical yields. The reported catalysts are prepared in a straightforward manner in two steps from dimethyl squarate. The utility of the developed protocol was demonstrated in highly enantioselective syntheses of the sesquiterpenoids (−)-gossoronol
A productive alliance: In an enantioselective organocatalytic bromolactonization of 5‐substituted hex‐5‐enoic acids (see scheme), it appears that the formation of an ion pair through interaction of the trisimidazoline catalyst 1 with the substrate both creates a chiral environment and promotes the cyclization by activating the carboxylic acid.

A new and efficient strategy for the rapid formation of novel fluorinated tetrahydropyridazines and dihydrooxazines has been developed by fluorocyclisation of β,γ-unsaturatedhydrazones and oximes with the fluoroiodane reagent. Mechanochemical synthesis delivered fluorinated tetrahydropyridazines in similar excellent yields to conventional solution synthesis, whereas fluorinated dihydrooxazines were

Highly enantioselective halolactonizations have been developed that employ a chiral proton catalyst-N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) reagent system in which the Brønsted acid is used at catalyst loadings as low as 1 mol %. An approach that modulates the achiral counterion (equimolar to the neutral chiral ligand-proton complex present at low catalyst loadings) to optimize the enantioselection is documented for
The apple never falls far from the tree: S‐alkylthiocarbamate 1 (see scheme, NBP=N‐bromophthalimide) was prepared in high yield through a synthetic sequence involving a Newman–Kwart rearrangement of the corresponding O‐alkylthiocarbamates. Compound 1 was used to catalyze bromolactonization, thus providing enantioenriched δ‐lactones in excellent yield and enantioselectivity.
