title: Highly stereoselective metal-free oxyaminations using chiral hypervalent iodine reagents.
abstract: The ring and I: hypervalent iodine compounds avoid the issues of toxicity or complicated ligands of many transition-metal-based systems. A highly enantioselective oxyamination of alkenes with N-sulfonyl ureas employing chiral, lactic acid-based hypervalent iodine reagents gives a facile synthesis of enantiomerically pure 2-arylproline derivatives for the first time.
