Abstract

A chiral triazole-substituted iodoarene catalyzes an enantioselective oxidative cyclization of N-allyl carboxamides to provide highly enantioenriched oxazolines and oxazines. Quaternary stereocenters can be constructed and, besides N-allyl amides, the corresponding thioamides and imideamides are well tolerated as substrates.
