Significance
In this paper, the Pd-catalyzed enantioselective oxidative cyclization of 4-alkenoic acids is reported. The methodology is based on the SPRIX ligand, which has already shown unique reactivity in Pd-mediated asymmetric oxidative reactions. A range of products was obtained with moderate to excellent yields and enantioselectivities up to 82% ee. The use of other nucleophiles emphasized the crucial role of the carboxy group for efficient outcome.
