Highly enantioselective intramolecular aza-spiroannulation onto indoles using chiral rhodium catalysis: asymmetric entry to the spiro-beta-lactam core of chartellines

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Nov 7:(41):6264-6. doi: 10.1039/b913770j. Epub 2009 Sep 2.

Abstract

A versatile, highly enantiocontrolled entry to the spiro-beta-lactam core of chartellines has been developed by expanding the scope of oxidative nitrogen atom transfer methodology based on chiral Rh-nitrenoid species.
