title: Copper catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular aminooxygenation of alkenes.
abstract: The copper-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular aminooxygenation of alkenes is reported herein. This is the first report of an enantioselective intramolecular alkene aminooxygenation process. N-Arylsulfonyl-2-allylanilines and 4-pentenylarylsulfonamides cyclize in high yield and with good enantioselectivity, providing new chiral methyleneoxy-functionalized dihydroindolines and pyrrolidines. Tetramethylaminopyridyl radical (TEMPO) serves as both the source of the oxygen and the stoichiometric oxidant. These reactions are catalyzed by copper(II) triflate, complexed with (4S,5R)-Bis-Phbox. The unprotected aminoalcohols can be obtained by sequential dissolving metal reductions of the N-S and O-N bonds.
