Catalytic, Enantioselective, and Highly Chemoselective Bromocyclization of Olefinic Dicarbonyl Compounds

Abstract

Overriding preferences: An amine–thiocarbamate catalyst can mediate the facile, efficient, and highly enantioselective bromocyclization of olefinic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. In the presence of the bifunctional catalyst, the bromination occurs chemoselectively at the olefinic moiety rather than at the carbon atom in the α-position to the carbonyl units.
