title: Enantioselective bromolactonization of cis-1,2-disubstituted olefinic acids using an amino-thiocarbamate catalyst.
abstract: A facile, highly regio- and enantioselective amino-thiocarbamate-catalyzed bromolactonization of cis-1,2-disubstituted olefinic acids has been developed. The use of the enantio-enriched lactones in the synthesis of chiral synthetic intermediates is also demonstrated.
