Abstract
Enantioselectivities of up to 95% ee have been achieved in the intramolecular Büchner reaction catalysed by copper bis(oxazoline) complexes, the highest asymmetric inductions reported to date for this transformation. Significantly, use of a catalyst derived from a bis(oxazoline) ligand resulted in high enantioselectivities across several substrates, indicating the possibility of developing a catalyst with general applicability.
