Abstract
A Ru-catalyzed enantioselective annulation of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones provides γ-lactams in good yield and high ee via intramolecular carbonylnitrene C-H insertion. Enantioselective nitrene insertion to allylic/propargylic C-H bonds was also achieved with remarkable tolerance to carbon-carbon multiple bonds.
