Efficient enantioselective synthesis of pyrazolines and isoxazolines enabled by an iridium-catalyzed intramolecular allylic substitution reaction

Abstract

An efficient Ir-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular allylic substitution reaction of 2-tosylhydrazono or hydroxyimino carbonates for the synthesis of five-, six- and seven-membered heterocycles containing N–N and N–O bonds has been achieved.
