Abstract

A highly enantioselective palladium-catalyzed iodine atom transfer cycloisomerization of olefin-tethered aryl iodides provides optically active 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, indolines and chromanes bearing an alkyl iodide group in good yields. The reaction offers use of readily available starting materials, a broad substrate scope, high selectivity, and mild conditions.
