title: Organocatalytic stereoselective iodoamination of alkenes.
abstract: A new chiral thiohydantoin catalyst is used for the stereoselective iodoamination of alkenes. N-iodosuccinimide as the source of the electrophilic iodine is activated by catalytic amounts of different additives which also influence the regioselectivity of some cyclizations.
