Catalytic Enantioselective Iodoetherification of Oximes

Abstract

Organocatalysis: The first catalytic enantioselective iodoetherification of oximes is developed using commercially available N-iodosuccinimide. In the presence of a dihydrocinchonidine-derived thiourea (10 mol %), β,γ-unsaturated oximes undergo facile iodoetherification to produce Δ2-isoxazolines containing a quaternary stereogenic center generally in high yield with good to excellent enantioselectivity.
