Catalytic enantioselective intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction to α,β-unsaturated esters and amides

A bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP)-catalyzed, enantioselective intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction of alcohols to tethered, low electrophilicity Michael acceptors is described. Improved reactivity over previous reports (1 day vs 7 days), excellent yields (up to 99%), and enantiomeric ratios (up...
